It is strange, usually all the linux booted okay. And I did boot debian-kfreebsd, but that was a pretty long while ago.cat vmghostbsd.vbox

Re: VB: No X display with GhostBSD11.0-ALPHA1
it resolves this issue, but the display of X is stuck, I cannot run anything. Mate desktop shouldnt be this heavy.
Re: VB: No X display with GhostBSD11.0-ALPHA1
Just for a comparison sake: the mate desktop version of linux mint:
runs okay.
Code: Select all
linuxmint-18.1-mate-64bit
Re: VB: No X display with GhostBSD11.0-ALPHA1

Re: VB: No X display with GhostBSD11.0-ALPHA1
strange the installer forces to install the boot loader, with linux on a partition already installed, I would like to skip it. Well lets see how it runs on vb first. ...
...
Well xfce version runs fine after install.
