ghostbsd

(I asked the following question a week ago on the GhostBSD forum (https://forums.ghostbsd.org/viewtopic.php?p=11814) but have not yet received an answer, and I'm hoping someone here may be able to help.) I had GhostBSD 23.10.01 installed on a virtual machine (VirtualBox) on a 15 GB virtual...

After installing GhostBSD, selected keyboard layout was used in X/xorg, but not in console. According to this vt is the current default console. Keyboard layout is in /usr/share/vt/keymap/colemak.acc.kbd Solution: edit /etc/defaults/rc.conf keymap="colemak.acc.kbd" and /etc/rc.conf...

I have successfully installed GhostBSD as a guest OS in Virtual box 6.1.36 (please correct me if I am wrong but I am under impression that GhostBSD is essentially FreeBSD + Xorg + Mate pre-installed). The problem is to install VB additions in the guest system (the host OS is Lubuntu 20.04). It...

As you know GhostBSD offers a Live mode for testing, a really easy to use installer & a collection of apps installed by default which makes it really easy for FreeBSD newbies to try FreeBSD. I have a GhostBSD install and personally I am quite satisfied. The only thing that I don't like is the...

I'm trying to get KDE up and running on FreeBSD 13 on a laptop PC. I could not even configure Xorg to run and it seems like the hardware cannot be recognized. So, I downloaded GhostBSD (both the default MATE and Xfce versions) and it works out of the box. I am now trying to figure out what...

Hi all, yesterday I've installed ghostbsd because I wanted to see if my hardware works fine with bsd. I've a few questions for you. Ghostbsd is a derivate from freebsd, but there are difference between this two systems? I see that ghost use openrc as init. So can i use ghost like it's freebsd...

Hello, So, I started using Linux in 1997 then used FreeBSD for years starting in 2001 then switched to NetBSD then used OpenBSD on and off as well as Linux again. I started losing hope in the BSDs and got depressed about having to use Linux instead because little things like suspend-resume...

I do have a few questions about the difference in between OpenBSD, FreeBSD and GhostBSD. From what I know ( I do welcome any correction), GhostBSD is a distro based on FreeBSD. OpenBSD is a fork of NetBSD that concentrates on the purity of the code base and security. I guess if you're looking...

According to their latest announcement. GhostBSD is dropping FreeBSD as their base, and taking up with TrueOS. Their claim is people complaining about increasing problems with setup, and maintenance. Some claiming the problem is not using OpenRC. I remember someone in the Forums here, bringing...

Hi, this is a crosspost from the GhostBSD forum, I didn't get an answer there. I had a working GhostBSD installation, but suddenly I'm getting "Missing boot loader". So I put the current ISO of GhostBSD MATE 64-bit on an USB stick and booted from it. My disk configuration...
