I'm desperate for answers on this. I've spent countless hours reinstalling & about a ream of printer paper over the last 3 weeks trying to get this working. Bizzarely the GUI on one computer worked, virtually OOTB. I've tried everything within my mental grasp on this attempt, but to no avail. I've tried to not sit back, relying on being spoon fed by the forums, but alas, I'm a beaten man. I was hoping to be able to migrate all my computers over to FBSD but that seems to be out of reach now unless I can resolve this. The best I can do is to get a black screen with a seized mouse.
I'll try to briefly summarize my efforts.

I'm hoping someone can help me on this last ditch stand, as I don't want to be a quitter. Thank You. Any help will be very much appreciated.

chmod 644
for read/write permissions but they have all failed. I don't have the requisite knowledge as to whether I need to cd into the etc/groups directory to invoke the command, or if I just need to use a command with some other parameters. I need specific help on this one.*the command
uname -K
