installtion failed,it says because I'm freebsd 12,not 13.
I type uname - a,it's indeed 12.
I delete 13's url in GhostBSD.conf,pkg update successful.
pkg upgrade says many required packages not installed,remove or not.That's too many,so I ctrl-c.
It seems 13's installtion not complete.

I want to download ghostbsd 21.05.11make a new installtion,but I do not know how to use usb.I have two hard disk both installed ghostbsd.

Is my os over?

Seems like the OS did not upgrade properly.

Has long that you can get to shell login everything is fixable.

What if output.

Code: Select all

freebsd-version
Did you do your upgrade in a terminal or in the TTY console-like suggested in the guide?

I upgrade system in terminal,after download all the files,something went wrong during installtion.

I had download ghostbsd 21.05.11,copy to my usb ventoy folder.When boot,I stuck at the ghostbsd logo,boot stops there.
Should I delete ventoy in my usb?

gpart is better.

gpart show will give you the list of disks and partitions on them.
