Hello,

I am quite new to FreeBSD.

I installed it with Cinnamon DE in a virtual machine. I set a root password and created an user for myself and gave him a password different from the root's. When the system starts, I see the login screen, try to enter the user's name after which I receive 'Failed to get login command'; the screen returns for a second to the black screen just before the login one and again the login. I have set the user with no password. When I write 'root' as username, I am allowed to enter password and the black screen and login screens appear as of above.

Thank you in advance!

Seems that Cinnamon on FreeBSD isn't a good idea.

Cinnamon Won't Start in FreeBSD 11.1

Hello, New to FreeBSD and just installed 11.1 as per Trihexagonal's Beginners Guide - How To Set Up A FreeBSD Desktop From Scratch. Fluxbox, XFE and Eterm appears to work correctly when using starx command. I decided to install Cinnamon according to the Cinnamon portion of this guide...

Thank you for the prompt reply. I have seen this, but I hoped it was settled by now.

I have tried to install KDE and XFCE. On startup, I see only an XFCE login screen with the troubles above.
