GhostBSD XFCE
Posted: Thu Dec 22, 2016 10:54 pm
First of all, I would like to thank you for GhostBSD. I'm currently using it on a Toshiba Satellite laptop model number A205-S5825 and everything works perfectly. In fact the wireless card works better on GhostBSD than FreeBSD. If I used wireless on FreeBSD with this laptop, it would hang on reboot for some reason. GhostBSD does not. Wireless printing works perfectly, too. Mounting my Android phone works perfectly too. There were a couple of issues that I fixed easlily. The first was I couldn't see the volume sliders on the audio mixer. I fixed this by installing gtk-murrine-engine, gtk3-unico-engine and gdk-pixbuf2 packages. One other "issue" was that video thumbnails did not work. I fixed this by installing the following commands -
pkg install gstreamer1-plugins-faad
pkg install gstreamer1-plugins-lame
pkg install gstreamer1-plugins-mad
pkg install gstreamer1-plugins-mpg123
pkg install gstreamer1-plugins-ogg
pkg install gstreamer1-plugins-wavpack
pkg install gstreamer1-plugins-aalib
pkg install gstreamer1-plugins-gl
pkg install gstreamer1-plugins-jpeg
pkg install gstreamer1-plugins-libcaca
pkg install gstreamer1-plugins-libvisual
pkg install gstreamer1-plugins-openjpeg
pkg install gstreamer1-plugins-png
pkg install gstreamer1
pkg install gstreamer1-libav
pkg install gstreamer1-plugins
pkg install gstreamer1-plugins-core
pkg install gstreamer1-plugins-good
pkg install gstreamer1-plugins-mpeg2dec
pkg install gstreamer1-plugins-mpeg2dec
pkg install gstreamer1-plugins-ugly
However, you probably don't need all these packages for video thumbnails to work.
I also installed the whisker menu plugin. XFCE is my favourite desktop and the GhostBSD backgrounds and wallpapers are great. I hope I posted this in the right place. Again thank you very much for GhostBSD XFCE.
