Installation is not fully working.

Installation is blocked on GhostBSD 3.0 - Gnome - 64 bits.

After file copying, it stops, telling me there was an error.

Is It on a computer or virtualbox?

Is It on a computer or virtualbox?

Saw this in both qemu and virtualbox. Previous 3.0rc were working fine here.

[ericbsd]

OK, GhostBSD installer only work under FreeBSD (64 bit) in Virtualbox. GhostBSD is not tested under Qemu. For help how to set Virtualbox to use GhostBSD see http://wiki.ghostbsd.org/index.php?titl ... figuration this will be part of the user handbook soon. GhostBSD is build For Desktop usage not visualization.

[FredBezies]

I looked at your wiki page, but the problem is that the VM is set had : 2 Gb of RAM and 128 Gb of HDD... More than requirements in your wiki page...

And previous RCs could be installed flawlessly in both VirtualBox and Qemu. And I do not have any PC to install GhostBSD on it

Thanks anyway for your answer.

Hi, can you fill up a problem report with all the detail as complete possible? This will help us to fix this bug. If I have to do a 3.1 release I can do it.

I tried ghostBSD3.0 gnome edition. installer not loading X environment after that blocking keyboard and stopping installation.

[dax329]

I successfully installed 3.0 Gnome in VirtualBox with no issues. Very impressed wih ease of use and wanted to set up system to multiple boot rather than run in a VM.

I first added the ISO to my MultiSystem USB and attempted to install. I get the "mountroot>" prompt but I'm unsure what to specify for the command "ufs:/dev/xxxx." I tried all of the USB devices listed from "?" command (msdosfs/multisystem da0s1 da0). For some reason, MultiSystem installs GhostBSD in Grub4DOS section instead of on the main menu with other OS like Ubuntu, Fedora, ROSA and saves it as the ISO instead of creating boot folders.

Next I tried burning a DVD to install from. Now, I am having the same issue as @stan-sib: "I tried ghostBSD3.0 gnome edition. installer not loading X environment after that blocking keyboard and stopping installation." Ctrl-Alt-Del still works and seems to be the only key combo that registers. Even Alt-SysReq R S E I U B does nothing (but not sure this Linux sequence saves and reboots as I expected under GhostBSD).

Please bear in mind I have no experience with any flavor of BSD and am trying to learn it. Is there something easy I'm missing in the boot process? Like I said, the VM (Ubuntu 12.10 host) booted perfectly and I was able to install on the virtual HDD very smoothly.

Thank you for your input and expertise!

The Best thing to try will be to Ctrl+Atl+F1 it will bring you in the tty0 do Ctrl+c insert startx. It might solve your problem. If not let me now guys.
