• Random log out of desktop

Posted: **Tue Mar 02, 2021 7:43 pm**

Hi,

This is my first post!
Really appreciate the GhostBSD distro that makes is so easy to get up a running FreeBSD OS and desktop for this *BSD n00b

However, after installing GhostBSD on a oldish pc (HP Z400), the OS logs my user out of the desktop.

This happens several times a week.

hw-probe result https://bsd-hardware.info/?probe=bf0d7fe4f1

uname -a:

Code: Select all

FreeBSD rootz 12.2-STABLE FreeBSD 12.2-STABLE GENERIC  amd64

thanks in advance for your help and advice!

Can you try our latest 13.0 build? It is at https://download.ghostbsd.org/development/amd64/latest/ we do have a lot of fixed problems on that one.

hey ericbsd,
Thanks for the suggestion!

Is it possible to upgrade the existing 12.2-stable already on this system?

Yes, it is a bit tricky but possible.

I recommend creating a backup BE in case of everything goes wrong.

Code: Select all

bectl create 12-stable

In /etc/pkg/GhostBSD.conf comment this line:

Code: Select all

"http://pkg.ghostbsd.org/stable/${ABI}/latest",

and add this:

Code: Select all

url: "http://pkg.ghostbsd.org/stable/FreeBSD:13:amd64/latest",

It should look like this:

Code: Select all

# $GhostBSD$
#
# To disable this repository, instead of modifying or removing this file,
# create a /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/GhostBSD.conf file:
#
#   mkdir -p /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos
#   echo "GhostBSD: { enabled: no }" > /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/GhostBSD.conf
#

GhostBSD: {
  # url: "http://pkg.ghostbsd.org/stable/${ABI}/latest",
  url: "http://pkg.ghostbsd.org/stable/FreeBSD:13:amd64/latest",
  enabled: yes
}

Everything below I recommend to run in a TTY. Just press Ctrl+Alt+F2 login as root or use sudo su.

You need to bootsrap before upgrade.

Code: Select all

# env IGNORE_OSVERSION=yes pkg bootstrap -f

Now you can upgrade with this:

Code: Select all

# env ABI=freebsd:13:amd64 pkg-static upgrade -f

After that is done you can reboot.

If everything looks good you can upgrade your pools by doing this:

Code: Select all

sudo zpool upgrade -a

Hi ericbsd,

thanks heaps for the instructions on how to do this!

Code: Select all

Number of packages to be removed: 5
Number of packages to be installed: 1
Number of packages to be reinstalled: 1224
Number of packages to be downgraded: 13

The operation will free 7 MiB.
3 GiB to be downloaded.

wow, this is going to take a while....
and will have a shiny new ghostBSD on this box in the morning

Reboot and remapped zfs pools.
Looking good so far in

Code: Select all

$ uname -a
FreeBSD rootz 13.0-STABLE FreeBSD 13.0-STABLE GENERIC  amd64

thanks ericbsd!!
