Comments/Problems:
I did several installations on this machine and a similar one. Installation
itself was mostly OK, with some errors in the installed system, most were
also observed in earlier installations, c.f. #762401 and #766423):
- grub-install or update-grub did not recognize any other OS on the disk,
not even a second instance of kFreeBSD, or FreeBSD proper.
- grub-install was not able to install grub if the file system root was
on a logical partition. Putting /boot on a primary partition did not help.
(This was not tried in earlier installations)
- X server (vesa instead of nv) did not recognize optimal screen resolution
(1024x768 instead of 1280x1024), no way to change that. On the other
machine with ATI/AMD graphics, this was OK.
- xterminal of XFCE4 desktop used US keymap, got to change it manually
- console (Alt-F1) had to be "dpkg-reconfigure"ed with "no AltGr key" to get
the AltGr key working for characters like backslash, pipe or "@".
- unable to mount NTFS filesystem (after installing ntfs-3g): unable to
read a NTFS bitmap. But I can mount the VFAT filesystem of an USB stick,
or Ext2/Ext3, and Ext4 R/O.
- a regression: now xfburn finds the CDR drive only when started by root.
/dev/cd0 is owned by root:cdrom, and the standard user is member of the
cdrom group.
- in XFCE, all menu entries or buttons to shutdown, reboot etc are greyed,
and the notification area in the panel is only a vertcal bar. On the same
hardware, I installed linux/XFCE and then removed systemd as described in
http://www.vitavonni.de/blog/201410/2014102101-avoiding-systemd.htmlto be
This caused the same effect.
- in the installer, DHCP did not work. In the installed system, that was OK.
This is new with kernel 10.1.
So, kFreeBSD on the desktop is usable after some manual intervention, if you
do not use a NVidia graphics card.
