Hello! I have installed the Desktop-installer on freebsd 11.4, 64 bits. No options of install any desktop. Only upgrade a pkg from quarterly at la test pkg database.
foreach pkg ( kde5 xfce mate gnome lxqt lxde )
foreach? pkg search $pkg |grep -i meta
foreach? end
pkg install kde5 sddm
pkg install {de,en}-freebsd-doc
Replace de with your native tongue, e.g. es for spanish.#pkg inst Desktop-installerThank You very match for You ansver. I mean no furybsd, I have a FreeBSD 11.4, and I have been installed a desktop - installer package. Now I go to manual install. The Last time I haved a x crashes with 12.1
Thank You very match! I Will do this.
- Which dektop-installer do you mean? There is none, AFAIK. Do you mean FuryBSD? But that's 12.1...
- FreeBSD is harsh to newbies, but nice to the wizzards & gurus. You have to know this in advance and accept it.
- Get a list of available desktops:
foreach pkg ( kde5 xfce mate gnome lxqt lxde )
foreach? pkg search $pkg |grep -i meta
foreach? end- Install your favorite desktop, and I suggest a graphical login manager, too:
pkg install kde5 sddm
- Install the FreeBSD docs, and read the handbook (/usr/local/share/doc/freebsd) with any browser:
pkg install {de,en}-freebsd-doc
Replace de with your native tongue, e.g. es for spanish.
Thank You very match!!! Im installing xorg and lumina desktop now fromthis urlI don't how good this script sysutils/desktop-installer is, and how well it is maintained. It is from 2009... Chances are it is outdated.
Thank You, I do this the next time. I have installed a xorg, then I have installed a lumina desktop too. Thank You very match for You indicativos. The next time I vill install only a lumina.
- A desktop meta package should automatically pull in Xorg, so you do not have to install that explicitely. This is semi-important because if you install Xorg explicitely, it is a leaf package.
- IFAIC development of the Lumina desktop has stopped since iX Systems dropped TrueOS to focus their work on their appliances.
Thank You very match. I have installed a luminaTry google search for "desktop-installer github freebsd". It should return bunch of different attempts chasing same goal.
Thank You. It is a an excellent script, but it is for a FreeBSD 12.1, and I have a FreeBSD 11.4 now. I alreddy have installed a Lumina desktop, work fine. Thanks!!!TrueNAS - Welcome to the Open Source Storage Era
TrueNAS is the World's #1 Open Source Storage. Based on OpenZFS, it is trusted by millions and deployed worldwide.www.freebsdnews.com
Great! I will test this excelent script too!!! Thank You very match!I haven't looked very hard but nothing seems to actually require 12.1.
Thanks. The Lumina desktop go fine. I have used a Project Trident, then changed a FreeBSD with Xfce4, and now a FreeBSD 11.4 with Lumina.I ran TrueOS for two years (which runs lumina-desktop). I ran lumina-desktop (the pkg) on FreeBSD for another year before going bare-bones with jwm. lumina-desktop will get the job done for you.
