Re: On ZFS becoming the only available FS

True I'm very tired of people trolling here, like those saying "GhostBSD eat all my 1 GB RAM", so may be some of my answer is particularly bitchy, while in reality things are usually reconsidered and discussed more properly. That RAM "issue" is bullshit, of course. I also have n...

Re: How to update applications and system files?

Took me a while to understand what you could possible mean but here's my take on answering: You can have a better idea by reading this: http://forums.ghostbsd.org/viewtopic.php?f=58&t=753&p=5099#p5097 Yeah, maybe I'm wasting my time answering this. However there are potentially a lot more r...

On ZFS becoming the only available FS

Just read that there seem to be plans to drop UFS support in GhostBSD. If anybody feels like listening to me, by all means reconsider this! I'm all for ZFS and have argued that I'd like to have BEs supported about a year ago. The general tone back then was: ZFS doesn't make such a good desktop FS. W...

Re: Login

Just for the record: Yes, SLiM assumes the US keymap. Unless you used charecters exclusive to the German keymap (e.g. §), you should be able to log in if you take a look at where the keys are on US keyboards. Once you complete the login, though, your desktop will have the German keymap that you sele...

Re: How to update applications and system files?

Good morning! How to update applications and system files to fix file vulnerabilities with past versions? The system GhostBSD 11.1 BETA1 for 64 bits, this built on binary packages and tarball packages among other packages of other formats such as zip, because the system is not built by ports? The p...

Re: i386 / 32 bit GhostBSD

However the team has not yet reached any consensus that matter so nobody knows if the "hard cut" (laying i386 to rest completely) is final or not. I would say that me and ASX that we talk almost daily we have reached consensus to not support i386 for better or worst and it might happen fa...

Re: Latest Updates Bring MATE 1.8 to Ghost 10.3

My 10.3 update this afternoon was huge (> 1GB!), but upgraded MATE from 1.2 to 1.8, and that's welcome. Just an fyi, and thanks to the team. :D Should be 1.12 to 1.18, but I'm sure that's what you mean. ;) Yes, quite some time ago Eric was busy porting 1.18 to FreeBSD. It took some time but eventua...

Re: i386 / 32 bit GhostBSD

For those who care about the i386 arch and GhostBSD: I proposed a "middle ground" solution a while ago: Reduce i386 to one desktop spin (Xfce is certainly the better choice here), don't install our repo config there (so that it uses the mainline FreeBSD repository like we did before) and m...

Re: PlayOnBSD for default pkg

You mean installed by default in every GhostBSD installation? I don't think that this is a good idea. It is very easy to install it for those who want it and it makes no sense to force this on people who don't need it at all. At some point in time package selection (or rather: profiles) would be a n...

Re: Nearly perfect for me, but..

I wish I had the time and knowledge in how to make the LEGO bricks rather thank just know how to stick them together :) Believe it or not: Even Eric who has founded the project started with pretty much no prior knowledge. He had an idea and stuck with it for years. GhostBSD is the result of his dev...
