Hi, I have just installed GhostBSD 3.0 64bit AMD on my PC. At login I type my user name, and then type my password at the PW promt. the problem starts after that, I get 2 or 3 lines of text then the PC needs me to type something, the problem is I don't know what to type to start the PC into a desktop screen. Can anyone help please.
Thanks...Peter...

Try
If it you have and error it might be a graphic card problem with Xorg.
What card you have and can you look at xorg.conf.
That might be the problem.

I might be doing something wrong. I downloaded ghostbsd lxde 3.0 for amd. I put it on a DVD and run it live, now that part worked fine and I got the screen up and was able to go online and try out Ghost. Then I clicked on the install icon and did a full hard drive install. this is were the problem starts, the PC stops at login: I type the login name, then it asks for the password: i typped the pw in. now what comes up is: [peter@peter "] $ I dont know what to type in to get started.
Can any one help....please.
Peter.

Normally you are suppose to boot on a graphical interface call gdm not a shell.
What graphic card you have? Can you look at xorg.conf?
That might be the problem.

You might have the same problem. You should try to fix it and it will also help me to fix that bug.
Try the command:
You should see
nvidia_load="YES", if not you need to add
nvidia_load="YES".
Code: Select all
echo 'nvidia_load="YES"' >> /boot/loader.conf
It can be
Load "dri" xorg.cong if you see
Load "dri" remove the line.
