I also had this problem and had to use manual partitioning to get my swap partitions up to a suitable size.
Ah okay, well what I did was just make the 512K or whatever boot one, 16GB Swap one, and left the rest to Root and didn't bother trying to figure out how to partition size the /var, /tmp, etc directories. Since those other ones mount under /root anyway the rest of drive space should work I hope.
To make this problem go away I switched the compositor from OpenGL to XRender in System Settings > Display and Monitor > Compositor > Rendering backend.
Thanks! I know it's a bit late now though cause I already dban'd the hard drive and installed XFCE4 this time with FreeBSD. That's one thing I hate about KDE in general, the bugs, issues, or settings that could fix issues AFTER you can't see what you're doing to get to the settings to change them. Lol. Like last time, I had all the menus disappear, so I wouldn't be able to SEE where to go and get into them to change them.
To return to the installer, enter the exit command at the shell prompt.
Thanks! That worked, I found a youtube video online about how to manual partition as well, so it helped.
Good luck with all that. I'm still using MATE on Debian, but still prefer to use kde5 or plasma5-plasma over any other pre-packaged DE's I tried on FreeBSD.
Yeah, Feren OS is nice but not nice either. For some reason no matter what size I make the swap partition, the Chrome/Chromium browsers freeze up / lock up and the CPU spikes like crazy. Now as far as I know it don't happen on FreeBSD (XFCE4).
I'm pretty sure you have to use Chromium instead of Chrome. I don't care too much for either one and continue using Firefox.
Yeah, just sucks cause some sites like gov't related sites, or survey sites, are picky about the browsers and want Chrome, and only Chrome. So that's another reason why I'm limited to certain distros or BSDs to use for an OS.
You can add a short list of groups, separated by spaces, for your primary non-root user account in the installer, but your list might be too long to squeeze them all in. Another way to do it from a root shell prompt is like this: pw groupmod audio -m username.
Thank you!
Now another thing with XFCE, and you don't miss the little things until they're not there... and I miss the Network Manager applet in top task bar, and audio slider etc. I managed to get a Network Manager installed with little applet. But still no audio applet. I tried installing PulseAudio and the PulseAudioVolumed thing ... and nope, still no applet.
I also installed XFCE-goodies or whatever, and still no applets. So not sure what to do to get the applets...
Another thing that spit out in terminal after installing PulseAudio stuff.. is this stuff here, and I did the bottom part of it.. but not sure how to do the kernel stuff...
Code:
You will need to enable CAM support in the kernel. Your kernel
configuation should include:
for SCSI CD/DVD devices:
device scbus
device cd
device pass
for ATA CD/DVD devices you will need the above, plus:
device atapicam
You will also want to make the CD devices world read- and writable.
In /etc/devfs.rules, add the following:
[system=10]
add path 'acd*' mode 0666
add path 'cd*' mode 0666
add path 'pass*' mode 0666
add path 'xpt*' mode 0666
