Thank you. That will suit my needs. For those who may be curious, a profile can be made for each specialized terminal you set up. A command like this: Mate-terminal --profile=[profile name] ...can be put into a launcher shortcut. As a test I loaded three different terminal windows at the same time, ...

Hello. This is probably a silly issue, but... Do either of the included terminal programs (Mate and XFCE4) support background images? I used to be able to do this is urxvt, but it's not working. I probably have to do some tinkering. But before I do that, I thought I would ask if the other programs h...

My system apparently can't tell time. Whenever I boot up in BSD, the clock is five hours off. I can correct this using the date command (as root), but it still thinks I'm in the HST time zone, when I'm in EST. Also, when using mate-time-admin (also as root), I'm unable to change anything, and the NT...

I installed Window Maker, but nothing changed. I'll have to see if there is a .desktop file for it.

As soon as my daughter gets off the computer. <grin>

I'm guessing I want to look at the greeter settings. Currently the login screen doesn't give me any options beyond user name.

Can lightdm be configured to handle multiple X managers? Or other neat tricks for that matter.

I'm not familiar with lightdm; curiosity is knocking.

Thanks!

Good evening. I'm trying to change the X manager in GhostBSD. My system is a brand new install, from earlier this evening. Back when I was using TrueOs, when starting the system I was presented with a login screen that allowed me to select a user, and an X manager (via pull down menu). I think this ...

My compliments to the developers of GhostBSD's install script. I just installed the system on my Dell system, and it went flawlessly. That can't be said for any other install of FreeBSD or Linux I have performed. Usually it takes two tries for everything to finally work out. But this time it went pe...
