I'm new to BSD, although I used Linux (DG/UX) back in the late 1980s, and have been using Linux (mostly Debian) for about 5 years.
I've just installed the latest (XFCE) version of GhostBSD. I've managed to install the Nvidia and Broadcomm drivers for this very old Dell Vostro 1719 laptop.
The main problem I've got right now is that the Shutdown and Restart buttons don't work: they just log me out. I need to go to the command prompt and type either
Code: Select all
sudo reboot
Code: Select all
poweroff
What I have done so far:
I used visudo to include the line
Code: Select all
mike ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /sbin/poweroff, /sbin/reboot, /sbin/shutdown
I've made sure that I'm in the "wheel" group
I even included the line
Code: Select all
hw.usb.no_shutdown_wait=1
Vital statistics:
Code: Select all
System: Host: stuka Kernel: 13.0-CURRENT amd64 (64 bit)
Desktop: Xfce 4.12.4 OS: FreeBSD 13.0-CURRENT
