Re: automount USB devices

A belated thank you for your reply! I've decided to give GhostBSD another try. I've been using Debian Buster Gnu/Linux with i3wm, and, as much as I like it... I need another challenge. Watching RoboNuggie on YouTube has inspired me to try BSD for at least a month on my I'm currently downloading the ...

Re: Cannot install - black screen

Sorry. I battled with a reliable network connection, the i915 video driver, and mounting external hard drives. So I finally gave up. I have work to do, and just couldn't justify wasting any more time trying to get this right. So I've installed Arch Linux. It was easy in comparison.

Re: automount USB devices

One of the many sites that Google took me to suggested an edit to /etc/auto_master. What I didn't notice was that I was getting an error when the service started. I fixed the error, and automount now works! This just goes to show: don't believe everything you read on the internet! :o For the record:...

automount USB devices

Is there an easy way of getting "plug and play" to work with USB devices? I'd like to be able to connect my external USB HDD and have it appear in the file manager (Caja). I have several external drives: some ext4, others ntfs. I've tried various methods that I've found using Google, but t...

Re: Cannot install - black screen

Many moons later... I thought I'd give it another try. I've downloaded the GhostBSD 21.01.20 iso file, and it installed without a hitch! So, my black screen issue has disappeared . I have no idea what caused it in the first place. Now I just have an issue with my WiFi being disabled. If I can't figu...
