Hi, I have just installed GhostBSD 3.0 64bit AMD on my PC. At login I type my user name, and then type my password at the PW promt. the problem starts after that, I get 2 or 3 lines of text then the PC needs me to type something, the problem is I don't know what to type to start the PC into a desktop screen. Can anyone help please.
Thanks...Peter...

I might be doing something wrong. I downloaded ghostbsd lxde 3.0 for amd. I put it on a DVD and run it live, now that part worked fine and I got the screen up and was able to go online and try out Ghost. Then I clicked on the install icon and did a full hard drive install. this is were the problem starts, the PC stops at login: I type the login name, then it asks for the password: i typped the pw in. now what comes up is: [peter@peter "] $ I dont know what to type in to get started.
Can any one help....please.

Normally you are suppose to boot on a graphical interface call gdm not a shell.
What graphic card you have? Can you look at xorg.conf?

My graphics card is a Geforce gt 430 1024mb ddr3. would it be best to do a reinstall this time with the graphics on .
Re: getting stated
You might have the same problem. You should try to fix it and it will also help me to fix that bug.
Try the command:
You should see nvidia_load="YES", if not you need to add nvidia_load="YES".
It can be Load "dri" xorg.cong if you see Load "dri" remove the line.
Try the command:
Code: Select all
cat /boot/loader.conf
Code: Select all
echo 'nvidia_load="YES"' >> /boot/loader.conf
