alright:

with my Nokia Booklet 3G, 1Gb RAM, Ghost 11.0alpha running from a 16GB USB stick and most programs installed via OctoPkg or compiled via /ports I must say:
runs really good;
except for that login, logoff- thing I can t quite follow, the rest is good - looking fwd to final version to try again!
now back to my try & error- site with myWebSQL ... LOL ( at least the chief developer, Samnan, has an eye on it to help out)

Hi there

missed one point yesterday:
the update process via "update station" worked for most packages but noticed a handful of failures as well. But as I only partially witnessed the update process I can t rem. WHAT packages failed. Is there a log for these updates as well? found nothing in messages or /var/log...

Code: Select all

grep pkg /var/log/messages
should return the INSTALLED packages.

Those that failed to install, should be retried at next run of update station.

And yes, I agree, would be a good idea to save a update-station log file(s). -> ericbsd :D

Hi Bill

sounds like the same problem I had with my test installation on my Duron with ATI graphics card, nothing worked there, too and the same behaviour from start;
Have You read page 6 of this Thread where Eric mentioned some changes in the booting and X starting process, that will be changed back with the latest release?
Do You have this latest already and tried again?
and what happens if You try either the default values and boot menu entries while starting and what, if using "vesa"?
After trying around with it, it worked for me with the default menu entries and an manually adjusted xorg.conf, where I put the "display section" on 24depth and 1024x768 although having a 22" LED screen from HP!
maybe playing around with this xorg.conf helps You, too?

I am using version 11.0-ALPHA1 still no nvidia kernel modules......install looks for them but they're not there ...yet.....!!! If anyone wants to they can log on NVIDIA web site and download the driver files. Then you have to build it, not a problem, but you must go to FreeBSD website and download src.txz for version 11. Install that first, then build NVIDIA 375.39 files, after that go to nvidia dir location switch to the obj sub dir and run nvidia-xconfig !!!!

Don't!
nvidia drivers are available in pkgs repo, and in ports.

Afaik, nvidia driver are included in all GhostBSD ISOs, (unless of some recent ISO build issues...)

Hi there

I read about switching from FreeBSD to GhostBSD repositories.
A good idea me think and I hope this will shrink strange flaws like a fix dependency on mysql56-client with mycli, that causes me to re-install mariadb after every package update and hopefully the flaws with xorg after major upgrades as well. :)
