Thank you ASX; fortunately, the typo was in my posting, not in my fsck line. I've installed FreeBSD before, and I understand the different disk identifiers. Since I've worked a lot with older machines, I keep a copy of Seagate Seatools on a thumb drive. I used it here to run "Erase all" as...

The first time I tried installing the nvidia driver, it was simply: pkg install nvidia-driver-340 nvidia-xconfig nvidia-settings nvidia-xconfig I rebooted, and the nvidia driver ran immediately and automatically. This time, after fixing my HD and reinstalling GBD, I ran the above again, and rebooted...

First, thank you; this was the answer I was looking for. For the sake of documentation, slim would not log into the GhostBSD/MATE/AMD64 iso as root, only as ghostbsd. I did so, went to Applications/Accessories, and clicked on the root terminal. It opened with a warning, but gave me root access. gpar...

Hi, I tried to upgrade my 10.3/MATE/AMD64 repositories as per: http://forums.ghostbsd.org/viewtopic.php?f=69&t=715 After finishing the revision and adding the FreeBSD.conf file, I clicked on it to double check the contents. Of all things, LibreOffice started to open and then hung; the cursor wou...

I just went to ftp://ghostbsd.org/pub/GhostBSD/release ... .0-ALPHA1/
to download the iso, and got an error message that stated "No such file." ???

I must apologize for another question; I'm still working my way through my new install. I want to rearrange the entries in the MATE menu. If I click on System/Control Center/Main Menu, I get the right window, but no changes that I make stick. So as root I type "mozo", and get the same menu...

I'm running Ghost BSD on an home built machine with an older Asus M2N-MX motherboard, Athlon 64 dual core processor, 2 GB of RAM, and a GeForce 210 video card. The install went well, although after a few boot ups my passwords quit working. Thank you ASX for helping with that! Installing the nVidia d...

ASX: thank you, that worked; I'm now responding from my Ghost BSD system. For the record, (and my motive here is to learn the correct way, not to defend my ego..~(;^})=..) Lehey's book, which is copyrighted 2003, states on page 148: "If you do manage to lose the root password, all may not be lo...

Suddenly, neither my root nor standard user passwords will log me into Ghost BSD. I pulled out my copy of "The Complete FreeBSD" by Lehey, and based on what was suggested, booted into support mode and selected the bash shell. I then typed: mount -u mount -usr but got an error message about...

Thanks, finally got back in town after spending a week looking after grandkids. There is no PCL driver available in the Ghost BSD version of CUPS on my machine. There are Postscript and Gutenprint/Foomatic drivers; I reinstalled the printer with one of the Gutenprint drivers, and that fixed the prob...
