Install Fails with Errors

Hi, I'm trying to install Ghost on a Dell Latitude E6420 with 8 GB of RAM, Intel i5, Intel Mesa HD graphics plus an nVidia 4200N, from a USB. The system detects the USB and loads the iso from it, but I get the following errors when it tries to boot: Unable to connect to X server Connection refused. ...

Re: Basic Install Question

Weird. Linux does not see anything on the USB drive, but it does boot to a certain point. I now have another install problem, but I'll post that separately.
Thanks for your help!

Re: Basic Install Question

chadbsd: Thanks, but I have some years of experience creating USB iso files and installing from them, including for Ghost. RodMyers: what concerns me is not just that my file manager doesn't show any files; it's that the terminal shows a transfer of 2.7 GB in 734 milliseconds. That's not physically ...

Basic Install Question

So..I used GhostBSD in the past, and liked it, but I have to get rid of my towers, so I have procured a Latitude. I downloaded Ghost24, and Properties shows it to be a 2.7 GB iso file. I'm running Ubuntu Studio on my one remaining desktop, and I used Gparted to create a new ms-dos partition table an...

Gnote Won't Open File

This evening, I found that I could not open any Gnote file. This seems to have begun after the last large update, which per the date on the last use of this program, after July 7. The overall program window listing the various note files opens, but none of them will. This does not change whether I o...

Re: RAM

I actually taught OSX at a local technical college for a while, and did some digging into mach kernels and bsd stacks. I agree with you that OSX is not all it's cracked up to be; my favorite flavor was OSX 10.4 on an old Power Mac. Without iTunes, I really have no reason to run Macs any more. I have...

Re: Basic Question: What Version of GhostBSD Am I Running?

Thanks, but that command still only gives the FreeBSD version, not the GhostBSD version.

Basic Question: What Version of GhostBSD Am I Running?

I just did a major update, and do not know if what I now have is Ghost 19 or 20. Neither the sysadmin nor the System Monitor applications will tell me. They only give me the version of FreeBSD underlying Ghost, which is 12.1-stable. The System/Help link only shows MATE information. The system is run...
