in reply to Hank G ☑️ • •On my workstation I use FreeBSD, the problem with GhostBSD is the fact that is a personal vision about how it should be "a desktop operative system".
You can feel comfortable or not with, but the good thing of doing a FreeBSD installation is that you tailor the OS exactly the way you like, without readymade recipes.

in reply to GaryH Tech • • •side note, not specific to MidnightBSD: I don't know about the logic of making wheel (not gary) your login group for gary.
Disclaimer: I'm also too lazy to check the FreeBSD Handbook.

in reply to GaryH Tech • • •can you remember, how did you discover the 'mport install' syntax?
Was it from <https://www.midnightbsd.org/documentation/mports/index.html#s2a>?
TIA

in reply to GaryH Tech • • •I'm experimenting with slightly more recent 3.1.5 in VirtualBox … I guess, the absence of midnightbsd-desktop – from the index for mports – explains us not getting an out-of-the-box desktop environment.
<http://www.ravenports.com/catalog/> does not include midnightbsd-desktop (not an issue, I didn't expect to find it there).
I'll dig a little more. In the meantime: did your installation have multiple graphics cards?

in reply to Graham Perrin • • •@laffer1 success!

– without attempting to use a display manager (although I will install Firefox, and reinstall XDM, to maybe learn a little more).
A prior experiment with EFI enabled in VirtualBox – not a default, for FreeBSD guests – failed. No surprise there.
The pictured search for scfb was pure imagination.

in reply to Graham Perrin • • •@laffer1 FYI
Firefox 119.0 from Ravenports did not work until after I also installed libreoffice-single-standard … a simple dependency issue (in Ravenports), I guess.
