Great videos. I have had issues installing any bed except ghostbsd and wanted to do openbsd on my hp laptop. I had looked at some other RU-vid videos, however found yours to be the clearest and most applicable to my laptop of choice. Everything worked as you presented with no issues. I now will keep openbsd on this machine and plan to learn more. Thanks
Great video. It's been 20 years since I last played with BSD when Freebsd was at 2.24 or 2.26. I had forgotten so much that I was a newbie again. Had installed openbsd and found my .xsession and .xinitrc were not working so deleted them and watched this, followed your example exactly and had the same good result as you had. Just need to set up cwm now. Thanks so much for a video that is clear and concise, step by step.
Your welcome and thank you for letting me know it was helpful to you. I'm really glad to hear my video helped you get back into the BSDs. I started in Ubuntu Linux 9.04 myself of course Windows before that, then from there moved over to BSD. I hope that my videos continue helping new and seasoned users like yourself. Discover or rediscover BSD that way hopefully the BSDs will survive for many more decades to come. A great channel for BSD content is Mason Egger's channel BSD Synergy ru-vid.com/show-UCBua6yMtJ6W5ExYSREnS3UQvideos Also Jupiter Broadcasting's BSD Now playlist ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-TlwgTB4mJrg.html
@@teetechtm hii i want to ask i installed OpenBSD on my ryzen 2400g everything went smooth OpenBSD automatically founds the graphics driver i installed mate desktop environment but the performance is very sluggish ....same thing installed on my old amd a8 laptop their performance is good.....i don"t understand what the issue do i installed wrongly or what
@@himanshu-zu9li Hi. What kinds of things seem slow? Is it along the lines of: Opening programs, Moving around in Xorg, etc. Does it go away when you're just running in a console? If it's only when you're running xorg: Try changing your xorg.conf to use the video driver specific to your gpu. If it's opening/loading programs: Make sure you have enough free RAM also check how much swap space if any is being used. Otherwise keep an eye on your resources eg CPU/RAM/DISK usage with "top" while the sluggishness is occurring. For instance if firefox let's say is using 100% CPU. Maybe also use "systat vmstat" to check RAM usage and disk usage as well. Hope this helps in some way. Random Slowness is pretty tricky to diagnose since it could very well be a hardware issue like bad RAM or even a power supply issue etc... ps Something else I thought of: If you setup full disk encryption during the installation that may cause general sluggishness in some cases.
@@teetechtm ya it go away when in console. i am running ryzen 2400g apu after first boot to openbsd its detect the gpu install amdgpu firmware...i don"t know maybe due to drivers ......same in OpenBSD when i try to install gnome3 and when its boot back at the time of gdm start its goes black......(same works in my laptop without problem even my old laptop load applications fast). no i don"t use disk encryption ..waiting for 6.7 version hope its fix this all issue
@@himanshu-zu9li It's most likely driver bugs causing delay between xorg and your gpu. Try running a light weight window manager like fluxbox or ratpoison to see if the delay issue improves. I would look through the mailing lists to see if this is a documented issue with that gpu. www.openbsd.org/mail.html Also when 6.7 releases check the change log to see if support for that gpu has been enhanced in anyway. www.openbsd.org/plus66.html Just replace "plus66.html" with "plus67.html"
Thank you for your comment data dealer! I really appreciate it. Here is my entire playlist of networking focused OpenBSD videos eg routers/firewalls. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-1XmphzLKRLw.html I also have a 2 hour plus course on the subject of Network firewalling using OpenBSD here. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-WH5nC5TEYsM.html If you're short on time and just want a quick how to guide on making an OpenBSD firewall this video I made is only 20 minutes. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-s61NuRp3TTQ.html Please note this is my very first video so the audio quality isn't the best all the others have been made with better audio equipment. My playlist I linked contains all of the other videos I mentioned as well. I also have many other playlists/videos on my channel you may find interesting. ru-vid.com Thank you again and have a nice day!
@@teetechtm no, thank you. I will be watching all of them over the coming weeks. I’ve been playing around with OBSD for a while and watched quite a lot of content and I have to say yours is the best. It’s exactly the topics I’ve been after to complement the books/man pages and you sound like a lovely guy and excellent teacher. You may not be getting paid much from RU-vid (being a relatively new/small channel) but please remember that you’re paid far more in gratitude from your viewers even if we don’t show it in person and have to be isolated via this new (rather bleak) world of tech. All the best and I hope life brings you good fortune if it hasn’t already 🔮
@@yourpersonaldatadealer2239 I'm glad to hear it and I hope they help you improve your knowledge very much! Feel free to reach out to me if you need help. If I don't know the answer I will try my best to point you to resources/people that do. Thank you so much I'm overwhelmed! Comments like yours mean a lot to me and keep me going that's for sure. All the best to you as well Data Dealer!
This is really cool. What are your thoughts on this running as a daily driver for regular usage on older hardware since the system seams to have a smaller footprint?
I think so too! I can tell you from first hand experience with OpenBSD and a Dell Optiplex GX1, built in 1998. That's serving as my network's firewall to this day. OpenBSD can easily run on old hardware just fine. Here's proof: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-mUnTNUZcFPs.html With that said though do make sure you have enough resources for the applications you intend to use. A basic network firewall install doesn't need much in the way of resources. In comparison to a desktop install. That could have many programs running like gimp, firefox, libreoffice, and a VM all at the same time. You need to make sure to have at least 2GB of RAM or more, and most likely a x86_64 bit based CPU. Even still a x86_32 bit based CPU can still do most things you need. But I don't think you can run VMs on that CPU Arch. So if you don't need to do that your needs can be met with a 32 bit CPU. Thank you for your comment and for watching my videos it means a lot!
@@teetechtm Thank you for your response! I'm definitely going to check this out. I have a older laptop that I usually tinker with a lot and I have never messed with any BSD really, only Linux distros over the years. I feel this will be something cool and new to learn also I've always heard good things about using BSD, so I think this will be a good adventure.
@@Tokagawa89 You're very welcome! I hope you have a great experience and learn a lot in the process. If you feel up to it... I encourage you to tell someone you know about the BSDs. In this way the knowledge of them will increase and the communities around them will strengthen as a result.
