14 years later, I have decided to get back into FreeBSD, now at FreeBSD 10. I have it running headless on two boxes, and I have decided to take the '30 Day Challenge'. You know, all the bloggers tell you to try something for 30 days before you give up on it.
|
||||
|

I am going to try to give FreeBSD a go as my daily driver for 30 (or so) days. I cannot do this full time, as I so Linux support in my day job, so I cannot change over the work laptop (yet). I have installed [PCBSD-10](http://www.pcbsd.org) on one of my spare laptops. Why PCBSD and not pure FreeBSD? Well, I do not know enough yet to get past UEFI boot and the NVidia/Intel dual graphics, so I cheated. I imagine that I before the end, I will either reload this laptop or start from scratch on my current daily personal driver.

So, most of my cli tools came over very cleanly, with the exception of abook. On Linux, I track the git repo, and the version in the ports tree is a bit older, so I will need to either compile it from git, or change my config to use the older version. But the rest, mutt, tmux, newsbeauter, irssi, and such, all work out of the box.

Busy day with other things than play computers, but I found a little time. I have FreeBSD 10-STABLE loaded with the custom WiFi hack on my [Elitebook Revolve 810](http://notebookplanet.blogspot.com/2013/04/hp-elitebook-revolve-810-g1-tablet.html) . I would have to let it try to boot off the USB stick. After multiple tries, it would finally run the installer. I tried ZFS a few times, but if I did not select MBR format for the partition table, then it would not boot (no OS error). With MBR and ZFS, it would fail to mount the ZFS filesystem with \<strong\>error 2\</strong\>. After trying the various fixes listed on-line, I gave up and went with MBR and UFS.

Once installed, it was fairly easy to get going. I have not configured it to take on the role of daily driver yet. If I have time tomorrow, then I will do it then, otherwise, it will have to wait a bit as I am getting on a plane this weekend, and I will not have room for the second computer. I will try to get it as far as I can with ssh.

Just a quick update. Yesterday, I got abook working. Kind of a hack, though. I used gcc to compile it, vs. clang. I will have to revisit this and offer up some patches to the abook project.
|
||||
|
||||
I have also been playing with **x11/xpra** which bills itself as \'screen for X11\'. That, combined with [sshuttle](https://github.com/apenwarr/sshuttle) , lets me get in from work and do some work during lunch. It may also give me a tempory way to use [AfterShotPro](http://www.corel.com/corel/product/index.jsp?pid=prod4670071&cid=catalog20038&segid=6000006) until I get the whole Linux compatability layer thing figured out.

Small updates: I have the external VGA dongle working. No config needed, just plug it in and it works. I really need to fix the WiFi so I can stop using the USB dongle on it. Also, I have updated mutt to 1.5.23, and that upgrade went smoothly. Since I am not using the default build, it was a matter of *portsnap fetch && portsnap update && cd /usr/ports/mail/mutt && pkg remove mutt && make install clean* and all is good!

My biggest update is that I got AfterShotPro working! It as a simple as reading the pages in the [manual](http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/linuxemu-lbc-install.html), and changing the path to bash in the launcher script, and all is good! I should really look into what it takes to make a port so when I set up the next few computers, I will not have to do this by hand again.

Next thing to figure out is how to get the sound to come out of my headphones instead of the speakers. Since I did not have to do anything to get sound, I figure this is just a bit of RTFM\'ing on my part.

So, I had a bit of time over the weekend, and spent it doing a bit of hacking around.
|
||||
|

I had re-installed [PC-BSD](http://www.pcbsd.org) on my HP EliteBook R810. I used 10.0.2, and everything but the wireless looked good. I decided to try to get the wireless working with the internal WNIC. [Previously](link://slug/freebsd-challenge-day-17), I used an external dongle to get WiFi working, but it was a pain to remember to pull it out, so I decided to try again.

I updated the base OS to 10-CURRENT, and then 'patched' the source tree using the info I found [in this forum post](https://forums.freebsd.org/viewtopic.php?t=35467). Once I rebooted, and used the PC-BSD tools to enable the device, things worked! Since this was only last night, I need to test it a bit to make sure it stands up to load.

Except the script is in perl, and it uses some modules which are not main-stream. While perl has the awesome **cpan(1perl)** command to fetch and install perl modules, I wanted it to be tied into **pacman(8)** . A quick trip to the [AUR](http://aur.archlinux.org/) turned up the tools cpan2aur and [mkaurball](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/pkgbuild-introspection-git/) which made it pretty easy to package up and post the the AUR the 9 perl modules I needed to get my script going and keep track of things with pacman.
