Re: switching base and building modes

So, do I get this right? You're discussing the steps of changing our OS base to the TrueOS stable build and how to do it? Yes. The question is more about the build model: 1) should we make use of TrueOS build capabilities and thus integrate our packages in their builder(s) ? packages are rebuilt as...

Re: switching base and building modes

TrueOS Core is not TrueOS Desktop or TrueOS server. It is an effort to fork of FreeBSD. TrueOS is TrueOS Core + pkg on top. Kind like GhostBSD 11.1 is FreeBSD + pkg on top. Hmm ... thanks for clarifying ... asking me to install "latest_server" (based on unstable) led to some confusion. Th...

Re: switching base and building modes

what are our alternatives ? switching to freebsd12-current as an intermediate step ? forget about TrueOS and keep our own route ? fork the trueos github repos and build our own packages ? I understood that by switching toTrueOS base we can get some benefit (drivers, etc ...) but it is clear we have ...

switching base and building modes

Time to to face some decisions :D Until now I though at switching base to trueos-core just like it was a sort of switch to freebsd-current, but I quick realized it is not so simple: TrueOS base has implemented some improvement: - libressl as default - packaged freebsd base - other That means that so...

Re: The future of GhostBSD

Admittely I have been very concerned about a move like that, mainly because TrueOS is based on FreeBSD-12-current and that is not stable. However, talking with Eric, he explained me that they had put in place a lot of test and checking for Quality Assurance , so I decided to give them a chance and a...

Re: On ZFS becoming the only available FS

I just ask myself if the community thinks the same way or if it is more conservative. My gut instinct says that there's quite a few people around who like gbsd because it's much more close to FreeBSD. Perhaps we should make an announcement for a future roadmap and poll the community? At least it wo...

Re: GhostBSD 11.1 RC1 first step

follow up: :D i had a little chat with ericbsd, and it turned out that the scroll mismanagement is caused by moused service , we also discussed shortly about the needs about moused, and it is required by at least some type of trackpads (but not all), e.g. "synaptics" trackpad require moused.

hmm ... so you have this issue, and I don't.

One thing to look at: I have disabled moused service in my rc.conf, try the same and see it if help. ;)
