You are probably right, sorry

I used to directly hack the .cf file. Never learned the macro language, just moved on

I suppose every project has it's trolls. Do not feed them and move on :cool:

This was a good practice. I did however bump into some X issues. On Ghost that works find but somehow it will not start on FreeBSD. Can it be that a displayport (not using hdmi) is part of my problems? I doubt it since Ghost is based on Free. Anyway. Downloaded the 14.0 version and dd'd it to a...

And maybe this is due to setting up 13.2 but I do need to fix the usb mouse and keyboard. I'll get there ;-) One other thing, I simply used adduser without params, somehow the user directories lacked. Again, tiny issues

And it is running now. Do need to fix small things like a mouse and the xconfig but I can test now. Thanks

That was the problem indeed

The guide that vermaden listed is simply, in my case, ok since I am moving from a different BSD to Free. I already generated a list of needed packages.

B.t.w., already able to boot into freebsd but, as expected, there are hardly packages installed yet. I am sure I can continue tomorrow.

I am halfway now. Point is that pkg.freebsd.org is not resolving. Might this be due to the release of 14.0 ? Servers are to busy? Also had some minor issues like exa not being present, needed to install it. Anyway, will continue tomorrow, thanks this far.

Needed to check this out, per default beadm is not installed on Ghost it seems but it is available. Will indeed see if this works out for me, very clear instructions, thanks

I might indeed give that a go. Thank you

I found other Ghost related problems too so my plan is to install a bhyve vm with freebsd 14 soon. That will enable me to test it all and see if there are any problems I need to fix. I have enough memory and cpu to test it all. If I do like that I can simply use the nvme.2 drive to install it...

The update software already got me into problems. There was an infinite loop in one of the latest installs and I am unable to use any software using qt now. They state it is impossible to reproduce/fix it. Might just as well make a good backup and simply start over with FreeBSD

Hmm, that might be cool. My users like the graphical desktop. I am not so much into Plasma but this does give options

Hi all, I want to switch to FreeBSD itself. Currently I have a 'working' system. The system itself runs on a zfs pool that is using nvme.2 storage ( 1 TB ) and I have an ssd drive of the same size (different zpool name) I use to rsync changes to. Wondering if I can safe/reuse parts of the...

Well, I am not sure if it is preferred but I am using Mate now. I loved gnome but the fuzz with flatpaks I decided to not use it anymore. Gnome 4.x is lovely to work with, lot's of stuff to do with they keyboard if you invest some time. Mate is gtk3 afaik and that has been a stable DE for me...

I have lot's of reasons but I am flexible. Used Linux for some 20 years and like others stated it is not consistent. Nor is BSD imho. A desktop is just a set of tools that allows you to do things in a preferred way. To be honest, for any serious work I tend to work with scripting simply since a...

I dropped in later. Started in 1996 or so.

Hmm, that is a pity.
