=== Back Up Your Data ===<br />
<br />
Back up all important data on the target computer where GhostBSD will be installed. The GhostBSD installer will not ask before making changes to the disk, but once the process has started it cannot be undone.<br />
<br />
=== Check for FreeBSD Errata ===<br />
<br />
GhostBSD is based on FreeBSD. Although the FreeBSD Project strives to ensure that each release of FreeBSD is as stable as possible, bugs occasionally creep into the process. On very rare occasions those bugs affect the installation process. As these problems are discovered and fixed, they are noted in [http://www.freebsd.org/releases/10.0R/errata.html ''10.0-RELEASE Errata'' page on the FreeBSD web site] and [http://www.freebsd.org/releases/10.1R/errata.html ''10.1-RELEASE Errata'' page on the FreeBSD web site]. Check the errata before installing to make sure that there are no problems that might affect the installation.<br />
<br />
=== Prepare the Installation Media ===<br />
<br />
The installation system for GhostBSD can be downloaded for free. GhostBSD is available in <code>.iso</code> (CD DVD) or <code>.img</code> (USB stick and flash drive) file extension. Copies of GhostBSD installation media are available at the [http://www.ghostbsd.org/download GhostBSD download page].<br />
<br />
=== Creating a bootable Memory Stick. ===<br />
<br />
==== Introduction ====<br />
<br />
After downloading the appropriate USB .img file, you must copy it to a pendrive using one of the methods described below. Since the image itself can be slightly above 2 GB in size, we suggest you use at least a 4 GB pendrive.<br />
<br />
==== On Linux ====<br />
<br />
Depending on the architecture, you might want to issue one of the following commands:<br />
: <code>sudo dd if=GhostBSD10.3-RELEASE-i386.img of=/dev/sdf bs=1M conv=sync</code><br />
or<br />
: <code>sudo dd if=GhostBSD10.3-RELEASE-amd64.img of=/dev/sdf bs=1M conv=sync</code><br />
<br />
==== On BSD ====<br />
<br />
Depending on the architecture, you might want to issue one of the following commands:<br />
: <code>dd if=/path/to/GhostBSD10.3-RELEASE-i386.img of=/dev/da0 bs=1m conv=sync</code><br />
or<br />
: <code>dd if=/path/to/GhostBSD10.3-RELEASE-amd64.img of=/dev/da0 bs=1m conv=sync</code><br />
<br />
==== On Windows ====<br />
<br />
This solution comes from [https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromImgFiles#Windows Ubuntu help site], but it applies to GhostBSD as well. You can use one of two tools to create a bootable pendrive on Windows.<br />
<br />
===== Graphical tool =====<br />
<br />
# Download the desired .img file<br />
# Download Disk Imager from http://sourceforge.net/projects/win32diskimager/<br />
# Insert your flash media<br />
# Note the drive letter assigned to your flash media<br />
# Start Disk Imager<br />
# Select the downloaded file and target device, and click "Write"<br />
# Remove your flash media when the operation is complete<br />
<br />
===== Command prompt tool =====<br />
<br />
# Download the desired .img file<br />
# Download flashnul from http://shounen.ru/soft/flashnul<br />
# Attach your USB drive<br />
# Run flashnul -p<br />
# Note the physical device number for the USB drive<br />
# Run flashnul <number obtained in prior step> -L \path\to\downloaded.img<br />
# Answer "yes" if the selected destination device is correct<br />
# Remove your USB drive when the command completes <br />
<br />
==== Conclusion ====<br />
<br />
After completing the above steps, the pendrive should hold a bootable GhostBSD system. Just reboot your machine and make sure you boot from the USB - it should then start a live session.<br />

<br />
The GhostBSD Project had its beginnings in the early part of 2009, the idea of project founders Eric Turgeon and Francois Toussaint. Our original goal was to produce a secure, installable FreeBSD Gnome live CD system. A major goal is to help new users adapt to FreeBSD. Francois Toussain and Eric Turgeon had a number of problems including the lack of knowledge of building a BSD system, and programming it. Francois has since backed out of the project. Some of you may remember all the posts that Eric made in FreeBSD forums.<br />
<br />
Eric Turgeon had found 2 projects that would help, Finstall and Freesbie. Finstall is a live CD and it had an outdated installer. The toolkit to build finstall which had been up to that point suffering severely from the lack of good options to configure. The Freesbie was outdated but workable and with good structure Eric Turgeon so adopted it. Eric had to study how to build FreeBSD with Freesbie and also had to think about adopting gnome for GUI and learn how to configure it.<br />
<br />
Eric did not take long to decide to release a buggy version of his work to see the reaction on FreeBSD Forum. The feed back was pretty good. For a while now Eric has being working on a better system. He released his first 1.0&nbsp;BETA in {{#dateformat:10 Nov 2009}}. It was then clear that the project was on the road to perhaps becoming a reality. The first fruits of his labour produced GhostBSD 1.5 that was installable through a text based installer to then have its first graphical installer on the 2.5 release.<br />

Alternatively a much easier method is now available. Simply start octopkg and enter "flashplayer" (without quotes). Then the package flashplayer will appear available for installation.<br />
Right-click on this and choose "install". That's it.</div>Nevillegoddardhttp://wiki.ghostbsd.org/index.php?title=Nvidia_driver_installation&diff=577Nvidia driver installation2017-03-23T14:12:22Z<p>Nevillegoddard: /* Install using package manager */</p>
<hr />
<div>To play games or use 3D&nbsp;CAD software you need to install Nvidia&nbsp;driver.<br />
<br />
== Install using ports ==<br />
<br />
Download the GhostBSD 10.3 kernel source code for [ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/10.3-RELEASE/src.txz i386] or [ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/amd64/10.3-RELEASE/src.txz x86_64].<br />
<br />
Download the GhostBSD 11.0 kernel source code for [ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/11.0-RELEASE/src.txz i386] or [ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/amd64/11.0-RELEASE/src.txz x86_64].<br />
<br />
<br />
Unpack it in the directory {{file|/usr/src}}.<br />
<br />
Update you ports tree:<br />
: <code> portsnap fetch update</code><br />
Get inside needed driver (ex. nvidia-drivers-304):<br />
: <code>cd /usr/ports/x11/nvidia-drivers-304</code><br />
Compile it <br />
: <code>make install clean</code><br />
<br />
Install nvidia-xconfig utility and create xorg.conf file with it<br />
: <code>cd /usr/ports/x11/nvidia-xconfig</code><br />
: <code>make install clean</code><br />
: <code>nvidia-xconfig</code><br />
<br />
== Install using package manager ==<br />
First you should search for available drivers packages:<br />
: <code>pkg search nvidia</code><br />
you will get something like this:<br />
<pre><br />
nvidia-driver-367.44_3 NVidia graphics card binary drivers for hardware OpenGL rendering<br />
nvidia-driver-304-304.131_4 NVidia graphics card binary drivers for hardware OpenGL rendering<br />
nvidia-driver-340-340.96_4 NVidia graphics card binary drivers for hardware OpenGL rendering<br />
nvidia-settings-375.26_3 Display Control Panel for X NVidia driver<br />
nvidia-texture-tools-2.0.8.1_7 Texture Tools with support for DirectX 10 texture formats<br />
nvidia-xconfig-375.26 Tool to manipulate X configuration files for the NVidia driver<br />
</pre><br />
Now choose driver and install it:<br />
: <code>pkg install nvidia-driver-340-340.96_4</code><br />
If you want to install the latest nvidia driver just enter:<br />
: <code>pkg install nvidia-driver</code><br />
this will install driver version 367.44_3 but there is a slightly different step needed to set it up for GhostBSD. See next section below.<br />
<br />
Also we need to install two additional packages:<br />
: <code>pkg install nvidia-settings</code><br />
: <code>pkg install nvidia-xconfig</code><br />
<br />
== Setting up GhostBSD to use nvidia ==<br />
If you use and AGP nvidia card run the next command.<br />
: <code>echo 'hint.agp.0.disabled="1"' >> /boot/device.hints</code><br />
{| style="color:black; background-color:#f3f8fd;" class="wikitable"<br />
|<br />
'''Note:'''<br />
# Using GhostBSD GRUB the driver must be loaded in /etc/rc.conf:<br />
#: <code>echo 'kld_list="nvidia"' >> /etc/rc.conf</code><br />
# For nvidia drivers later than 367.35 this must be loaded in /etc/rc.conf:<br />
#: <code>echo 'kld_list="nvidia-modeset"' >> /etc/rc.conf</code><br />
# Using BSD loader or Linux Grub the driver must be loaded in loader.conf:<br />
#: <code>echo 'nvidia_load="YES"' >> /boot/loader.conf</code><br />
# For the latest nvivia driver (after 367.35) this must be loaded:<br />
#: <code>echo 'nvidia-modeset_load="YES"' >> /boot/loader.conf</code><br />
|}<br />
<br />
<br />
Make X configuration file with nvidia-xconfig utility:<br />
: <code>nvidia-xconfig</code><br />
You can reboot your system now:<br />
: <code>reboot</code><br />

<div>To have an ability to play games or use 3D&nbsp;CAD software you need to install Nvidia&nbsp;driver.<br />
<br />
== Install using ports ==<br />
<br />
Download the kernel source code for [ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/10.3-RELEASE/src.txz i386] or [ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/amd64/10.3-RELEASE/src.txz x86_64].<br />
<br />
Unpack it in the directory {{file|/usr/src}}.<br />
<br />
Update you ports tree:<br />
: <code> portsnap fetch update</code><br />
Get inside needed driver (ex. nvidia-drivers-304):<br />
: <code>cd /usr/ports/x11/nvidia-drivers-304</code><br />
Compile it <br />
: <code>make install clean</code><br />
<br />
Install nvidia-xconfig utility and create xorg.conf file with it<br />
: <code>cd /usr/ports/x11/nvidia-xconfig</code><br />
: <code>make install clean</code><br />
: <code>nvidia-xconfig</code><br />
<br />
== Install using package manager ==<br />
First you should search for available drivers packages:<br />
: <code>pkg search nvidia</code><br />
you will get something like this:<br />
<pre><br />
nvidia-driver-367.44_3 NVidia graphics card binary drivers for hardware OpenGL rendering<br />

If you prepared a “bootable” USB stick, then plug in your USB stick before turning on the computer.<br />
<br />
If you are booting from CDROM, then you will need to turn on the computer, and insert the CDROM at the first opportunity.<br />
<br />
You can boot by:<br />
* Configuring your machine BIOS to boot from either the CDROM or from USB. <br />
* Typically boot by pressing ''[[Wikipedia:Function key | F]]10'', ''[[Wikipedia:Function key | F]]11'', ''[[Wikipedia:Function key | F]]12'', or ''[[Wikipedia:Esc key | Esc]]'' and select a boot device.<br />
<br />
If your computer starts up as normal loading your existing operating system, then either:<br />
* The disks were not inserted early enough in the boot process. Leave them in, and try restarting your computer.<br />
* The BIOS changes earlier did not work correctly. You should redo that step until you get the right option.<br />
* Your BIOS does not support booting from the desired media. The Plop Boot Manager can be used to boot older computers from CD or USB media.<br />
<br />
GhostBSD will start to boot. If you are booting from DVD/CDROM or USB you will see black screen with similar text to this:<br />

This document aims to cover the most frequently asked questions concerning the GhostBSD operating system. Although originally intended to reduce bandwidth and avoid the same old questions being asked over and over again, FAQs have become recognized as valuable information resources.<br />
<br />
<!--T:2--><br />
Every effort has been made to make this FAQ as informative as possible; if you have any suggestions as to how it may be improved, please feel free to contact us.<br />
<br />
== '''Introduction''' == <!--T:3--><br />
<br />
=== What is GhostBSD? === <!--T:4--><br />
<br />
<!--T:5--><br />
Briefly, GhostBSD is a [[wikipedia:en:Unix-like|UNIX®-like]] [[wikipedia:en:Operating system|operating system]]. It works on AMD64 and Intel® platforms. GhostBSD is based on [[wikipedia:en:FreeBSD|FreeBSD]], which is based on U.C. Berkeley’s “[[wikipedia:en:4.4BSD|4.4BSD]]-Lite” release, with some “[[wikipedia:en:4.4BSD|4.4BSD]]-Lite2” enhancements. It is also based indirectly on William Jolitz’s port of U.C. Berkeley’s “Net/2” to the i386, known as “[[wikipedia:en:386BSD|386BSD]]”, though very little of the 386BSD code remains. GhostBSD provides a [[GNOME]], [[Mate]], [[Xfce]], [[LXDE]] and [[Openbox]] desktop.<br />
<br />
=== Who can use GhostBSD? === <!--T:6--><br />
<br />
<!--T:7--><br />
GhostBSD can be used by companies, researchers, computer professionals, students and home users all over the world in their work, education and recreation.<br />
<br />
=== What is the goal of the GhostBSD Project? === <!--T:8--><br />
<br />
<!--T:9--><br />
The goal of the GhostBSD Project is to combine the ease of use of a set of [[wikipedia:en:GTK|GTK]] [[wikipedia:en:Desktop environment|desktops]] with security and flexibility of the underlying [[wikipedia:en:FreeBSD|FreeBSD]] mechanisms. GhostBSD is a great tool to learn FreeBSD and start one’s adventure in the BSD world. GhostBSD may be used for any purpose and without strings attached.<br />
<br />
=== Does the GhostBSD license have any restrictions? === <!--T:10--><br />
<br />
<!--T:11--><br />
Yes. Those restrictions do not control how you use the code, merely how you treat the GhostBSD Project itself. If you have serious license concerns, read the actual license. For the simply curious, the license can be summarized like this:<br />
* Do not claim that you wrote this.<br />
* Do not sue us if it breaks.<br />
<br />
=== Can GhostBSD replace my current operating system? === <!--T:12--><br />
<br />
<!--T:13--><br />
For most users, yes.<br />
<br />
<!--T:14--><br />
Most people do not actually use an operating system. They use applications, as these are what really makes a computer useful. GhostBSD is designed to provide a [[wikipedia:en:Desktop environment|desktop]] and full-featured environment for applications. It supports a wide variety of web browsers, office suites, email readers, graphics programs, programming environments, network servers, and just about everything else you might want. Most of these applications can be built using the [[wikipedia:en:FreeBSD_Ports|FreeBSD Ports Collection]].<br />
<br />
<!--T:15--><br />
If you need to use an application that is only available on one operating system, you cannot easily replace that operating system (this situation is referred to as [[wikipedia:en:Vendor_lock-in|vendor lock-in]]). However chances are that there is a very similar application on GhostBSD, however. If you want a solid office or internet server, a reliable workstation, or just the ability to do your job without interruptions, GhostBSD will almost certainly do everything you need.<br />
<br />
<!--T:16--><br />
If you are migrating to GhostBSD from some other [[wikipedia:en:Unix-like|UNIX®-like]] environment, you already know most of what you need to know. If your background is in graphic-driven operating systems such as [[wikipedia:en:Microsoft_Windows|Microsoft Windows®]] and older versions of [[wikipedia:en:OS_X|MacOS®]], expect to invest additional time learning the [[wikipedia:en:Unix|UNIX]] way of doing things.<br />
<br />
=== Why is it called GhostBSD? === <!--T:17--><br />
<br />
<!--T:18--><br />
GhostBSD was developed as an operating system to hack on Gnome using BSD technology. After a while it became what was referred to as “<tt>Gnome hosted by BSD</tt>”, which means that Gnome is hosted on the FreeBSD system. Now that we support multiple GTK desktops it is more accurate to call it "<tt>GTK hosted by BSD</tt>".<br />
<br />
=== What is the latest version of GhostBSD? === <!--T:19--><br />
<br />
<!--T:20--><br />
At this point in time, we are at version 10.3 codenamed ''Enoch''.<br />
<br />
<!--T:21--><br />
Releases are usually made every few months.<br />
<br />
<!--T:22--><br />
Version 11.0 is next to come, following the release cycle of [[wikipedia:en:FreeBSD|FreeBSD]].<br />
<br />
<!--T:23--><br />
Many GhostBSD users stay up to date using other mechanisms available to FreeBSD users. You can read about them in the [https://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/updating-upgrading.html Chapter ''Updating and Upgrading FreeBSD'' in the FreeBSD Handbook].<br />
<br />
=== When are GhostBSD releases made? === <!--T:24--><br />
<br />
<!--T:25--><br />
The developers team releases a new version more or less every 8&nbsp;months. GhostBSD follows the release dates of [[wikipedia:en:FreeBSD|FreeBSD]]. A testing period precedes each release in order to ensure that the addition of new features does not compromise the stability of the release.<br />
<br />
=== How can I contribute? === <!--T:26--><br />
<br />
<!--T:27--><br />
There is a number of ways to contribute to the GhostBSD project:<br />
* If you possess abilities in programming and knowledge of the [[wikipedia:en:FreeBSD|FreeBSD]] operating system, or you simply want to learn these things, you might want to consider joining the team by becoming an active developer. If you are feeling adventurous, you might want to try [[How to build GhostBSD? | building GhostBSD]], but you might as well join our [https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/ghostbsdproject-devel development&nbsp;mailing&nbsp;list] to get in touch with the team and see what work currently has to be done.<br />
* If you are interested in helping from the artistic perspective, you could contribute fan art, logos, wallpapers, or help design/maintain the website layout. In this case, the [https://lists.sourceforge.net/mailman/listinfo/ghostbsdproject-website website&nbsp;mailing&nbsp;list] is something to look on for additional information.<br />
* If you have decent writing skills and know English quite well, you might want to help by writing documents and producing website and wiki content. Get in touch with us on the [https://lists.sourceforge.net/mailman/listinfo/ghostbsdproject-website website&nbsp;mailing&nbsp;list].<br />
* If none of the above apply to you, you might just want to use GhostBSD and tell us about bugs you've discovered and the ideas you have about how to improve the system [http://forums.ghostbsd.org/viewforum.php?f=7 You can report them via forums]. You might also consider simply spreading the word about GhostBSD!<br />
<br />
<!--T:28--><br />
If you feel like you might be able to help us grow and improve GhostBSD in any of the above ways (or any other way you can come up with), please contact us using [http://forums.ghostbsd.org/ the forums], an [http://ghostbsd.org/irc/ IRC channel] (#ghostbsd on irc.freenode.net) or any of the mailing lists above.<br />

For the most part, things can be done on GhostBSD the same way they are done on [[wikipedia:en:FreeBSD|FreeBSD]]. This is why we encourage our users to check out the great [http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/ FreeBSD Handbook] in case of any doubts or questions. If the handbook does not cover a specific area of your interest, or it seems GhostBSD differs from FreeBSD in some regard, the forums or IRC channel will probably hold the answers you seek.<br />
<br />
== '''Installation''' == <!--T:35--><br />
<br />
=== Where can I get GhostBSD? === <!--T:36--><br />
<br />
<!--T:37--><br />
Every release image of GhsotBSD is available via [https://sourceforge.net/projects/ghostbsdproject/files/release/ SourceForge] site:<br />
* The latest releases images can be found on the [http://ghostbsd.org/download/ Download] page.<br />
* Our Torrent file are available from [http://www.gotbsd.net GotBSD] or from the [http://www.ghostbsd.org/torrent project page] (currently not up to date). <br />
* You can also buy GhostBSD DVDs and USB flash drives from [http://www.osdisc.com/products/ghostbsd?affiliate=ghostbsd OSDisc.com].<br />
<br />
=== How do I create a bootable USB pendrive? === <!--T:38--><br />
<br />
<!--T:39--><br />
Up to version 4.0 separate USB images (with the ''.img'' extension) existed that were suitable for USB flash drives. Since version 10.1, GhostBSD releases so-called ''hybrid ISOs'' which can either be burned on a DVD or written on a flash drive. Select your preferred desktop and the right architecture and download the ISO. After downloading compare the checksum (optional) and write the content of the iso on a flash drive using one of the methods described below. Since the image itself can be slightly above 2&nbsp;GB in size, we suggest you use at least a 4&nbsp;GB pendrive.<br />
<br />
==== On Linux ==== <!--T:40--><br />
<br />
<!--T:41--><br />
Here's an example using the console (use the filename of your ISO and make sure you replace the "sdX" with the right device's name!). The following command needs root privileges (issue as user ''root'' or using ''sudo''):<br />
: <code>dd if=''GhostBSD10.3-RELEASE-20160829-213046-mate-amd64.iso'' of=/dev/''sdX'' bs=1M</code><br />
<br />
==== On BSD ==== <!--T:42--><br />
<br />
<!--T:43--><br />
Here's an example using the console (use the filename of your ISO and make sure you replace the "daX" with the right device's name!). The following command needs root privileges (issue as user ''root'' or using ''sudo''):<br />
: <code>dd if=''GhostBSD10.3-RELEASE-20160829-213046-mate-amd64.iso'' of=/dev/''daX'' bs=1m</code><br />
<br />
==== On Windows ==== <!--T:44--><br />
<br />
<!--T:45--><br />
This solution comes from the [https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromImgFiles#Windows Ubuntu help site], but it applies to GhostBSD as well. You can use one of two tools to create a bootable pendrive on Windows.<br />
<br />
===== Graphical tool on Windows ===== <!--T:46--><br />
<br />
<!--T:47--><br />
# Download the desired ISO file<br />
# Download the ''Disk Imager'' from http://sourceforge.net/projects/win32diskimager/<br />
# Insert your flash media<br />
# Note the drive letter assigned to your flash media<br />
# Start ''Disk Imager''<br />
# Select the downloaded file and target device, and click "<tt>Write</tt>"<br />
# Remove your flash media when the operation is complete<br />
<br />
===== Command prompt tool on Windows ===== <!--T:48--><br />
<br />
<!--T:49--><br />
# Download the desired ISO file<br />
# Download ''flashnul'' from http://shounen.ru/soft/flashnul<br />
# Attach your USB drive<br />
# Run flashnul -p<br />
# Note the physical device number for the USB drive<br />
# Run flashnul <number obtained in prior step> -L \path\to\downloaded.iso<br />
# Answer "<tt>yes</tt>" if the selected destination device is correct<br />
# Remove your USB drive when the command finished<br />
<br />
==== Conclusion ==== <!--T:50--><br />
<br />
<!--T:51--><br />
After completing the above steps, the pendrive should hold a bootable GhostBSD system. Just reboot your machine and make sure you boot from the USB - it should then start a live session.<br />
<br />
=== Where are the instructions for installing GhostBSD? === <!--T:52--><br />
<br />
<!--T:53--><br />
Installation instructions for versions beginning with GhostBSD 3.1 can be found in the handbook entry on [[Installing GhostBSD]].<br />
<br />
== '''Software Installation''' == <!--T:54--><br />
<br />
=== How do I install new software? === <!--T:55--><br />
<br />
<!--T:56--><br />
In GhostBSD software can be installed in three different ways:<br />
* [[OctoPkg]] is a GTK+ based tool to manage (search, install and uninstall) binary packages on BSD systems.<br />
* FreeBSD's package manager [[PKG]] can be used to manage packages using the command line. (In versions before 10.x, the old pkg_* tools were used which worked slightly differenty.)<br />
* [[wikipedia:en:FreeBSD_Ports|FreeBSD Ports]] is one of the most useful and unique features of FreeBSD compared to most Linux distributions. If installed, it can be found under /usr/ports and contains the Makefiles (think "recipes" if you are new to this concept) used to automatically build (fetch source code, configure, compile, install) a vast amount of software. A menu-driven system allows you to tweak compile options which makes this an easy to use but extremely flexible method of installing software.<br />
<br />
=== Can I use Linux software on my GhostBSD system? === <!--T:57--><br />
<br />
<!--T:58--><br />
First, you should know that most "Linux" software is really ''open source'' software. That is, it is freely available for many operating systems, not just Linux. There are some programs that make use of Linux exclusive features (we call those ''Linuxisms'') that won't run anywhere else. A very high amount of popular projects however care for ''portability'' and make sure that their software will build and work on multiple operating systems.<br />
<br />
<!--T:59--><br />
Even if the program that you are looking for is not available as a package it can probably be built on GhostBSD. Just give it a try if you know how to compile software yourself. You can always ask on the forums if you need help. Somebody in the community might be able to help you. If you get the program to work, tell us! If you want the program to be available as a package in the future, a [[wikipedia:en:FreeBSD_Ports|port]] needs to be created for it. For a lot of programs this is not too hard to do and the FreeBSD community is very welcoming towards new porters.<br />
<br />
<!--T:60--><br />
Like FreeBSD, GhostBSD provides something called Linux Binary Compatibility (or the ''Linuxulator''). In a nutshell, that means you can run many Linux applications as-is. This [http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/linuxemu.html section] of the FreeBSD Handbook explains Linux Compatibility in more detail and describes what to do when things don't work.<br />
<br />
<!--T:61--><br />
Unlike vanilla FreeBSD however, you do not have to setup Linux Binary Compatibility yourself. GhostBSD comes with Linux Compatibility already configured for you and it should "just work". You may want to install the '''linux_base-c6''' though that provides a lot of basic Linux libraries that might be needed by a lot of Linux applications. If your program needs any other libraries you'll have to provide them by manually copying them in (see [https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/linuxemu-lbc-install.html this section] of the FreeBSD handbook).<br />
<br />
<!--T:62--><br />
Using GhostBSD 10.3 or later, it is even possible to run ''64 bit'' Linux binaries. Don't get too excited about the Linuxulator, though. In general it does provide a means of running Linux applications on GhostBSD. However the kernel that it mimics (currently 2.6.18) is more than 10 years old. Depending on what program you want to run chances are that you'll run into errors like "FATAL: kernel too old".<br />
<br />
=== Does GhostBSD Support Adobe Flash plugin? === <!--T:63--><br />
<br />
<!--T:64--><br />
Yes, but a native Adobe® Flash® plugin is not available for GhostBSD. However, a software wrapper for running the Linux® version of the plugin is available. This wrapper also provides support for other browser plugins such as RealPlayer®.<br />
<br />

<br />
== '''System and software updates''' == <!--T:66--><br />
<br />
=== How should I update GhostBSD to latest FreeBSD updates? === <!--T:67--><br />
<br />
<!--T:68--><br />
GhostBSD supports freebsd-update command line to update the FreeBSD base system.<br />
<br />
<!--T:69--><br />
: <code>freebsd-update fetch install</code><br />
<br />
== '''Network''' == <!--T:70--><br />
<br />
Preliminary Reading and set of Manual bring up Instructions [http://www.wonkity.com/~wblock/docs/html/wireless.html Wireless Instructions for FreeBSD] <br />
=== My Wi-Fi doesn't work. === <!--T:71--><br />
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wi-Fi] The Wikipedia link explaining Wi-Fi terms.<br />
<br />
<!--T:72--><br />
Look if the ''wlan0'' interface is configured.<br />
: <code>cat /etc/rc.conf | grep wlan0</code><br />
<br />
<!--T:73--><br />
If you have an output similar to:<br />
<pre><br />
wlans_run0="wlan0"<br />
ifconfig_wlan0="WPA DHCP"<br />
</pre><br />
Your Wi-Fi wlan0 interface is configured, but it might be down.<br />
: <code>sudo ifconfig wlan0 up</code><br />
Now it should work.<br />
<br />
<!--T:74--><br />
If you have no output, this mean the GhostBSD network configuration system has not detected your Wi-Fi PCI card or Wi-Fi USB dongle. The next step for you, will be to look if GhostBSD has your Wi-Fi drivers installed. Do you have your kernel Wi-Fi driver loaded? Check your loaded kernel modules with '''kldstat''' command.<br />
: <code>sudo kldstat</code><br />
Manually load the necessary kernel modules for your devices. Later edit the file /boot/loader.conf for these kernel modules to be loaded automatically during bootup. Unload the old version of urtwn driver with '''kldunload''' command. Example below loads newer version of the usb urtwn & pci rtwn modules combined into one rtwn kernel module after FreeBSD 11.0-Current revision r307529.<br />
<code><br />
sudo kldunload if_urtwn.ko<br />
sudo kldload if_rtwn.ko if_rtwn_usb.ko if_rtwn_pci.ko<br />
sudo kldstat<br />
</code><br />
<br />
List your PCI bus devices: <code>sudo pciconf -lv </code> none2 is the RealTek RTL8188CE internal PCI Wifi interface. alc0 is the Atheros 10/100 Megabyte Fast Ethernet PCI interface, hard wired RJ45 ethernet input.<br />
<br />
<pre><br />
alc0@pci0:1:0:0: class=0x020000 card=0xff1e1179 chip=0x20621969 rev=0xc1 hdr=0x00<br />
vendor = 'Qualcomm Atheros'<br />
device = 'AR8152 v2.0 Fast Ethernet'<br />
class = network<br />
subclass = ethernet<br />
none2@pci0:2:0:0: class=0x028000 card=0x818110ec chip=0x817610ec rev=0x01 hdr=0x00<br />
vendor = 'Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.'<br />
device = 'RTL8188CE 802.11b/g/n WiFi Adapter'<br />
class = network<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
List your USB devices looking for a wireless Wi-Fi usb dongle :<code>usbconfig or usbconfig dump_info or usbconfig list</code><br />
In the example "usbconfig" list below, there is '''NOT''' a WiFi usb dongle plugged into the computer system.<br />
<br />
<pre><br />
ugen0.1: <Intel EHCI root HUB> at usbus0, cfg=0 md=HOST spd=HIGH (480Mbps) pwr=SAVE (0mA)<br />
ugen1.1: <Intel EHCI root HUB> at usbus1, cfg=0 md=HOST spd=HIGH (480Mbps) pwr=SAVE (0mA)<br />
ugen0.2: <vendor 0x8087 product 0x0024> at usbus0, cfg=0 md=HOST spd=HIGH (480Mbps) pwr=SAVE (0mA)<br />
ugen1.2: <vendor 0x8087 product 0x0024> at usbus1, cfg=0 md=HOST spd=HIGH (480Mbps) pwr=SAVE (0mA)<br />
ugen0.3: <Generic USB2.0-CRW> at usbus0, cfg=0 md=HOST spd=HIGH (480Mbps) pwr=ON (500mA)<br />
ugen0.4: <Importek TOSHIBA Web Camera> at usbus0, cfg=0 md=HOST spd=HIGH (480Mbps) pwr=ON (500mA)<br />
ugen1.3: <Maxtor OneTouch> at usbus1, cfg=0 md=HOST spd=HIGH (480Mbps) pwr=ON (2mA)<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
Check your interface connections for 802.11 wireless.<br />
: <code>sudo ifconfig | grep -B 3 802.11</code><br />
In this case run0 is the WiFi drivers.<br />
<pre><br />
run0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 2290<br />
ether 00:1e:e5:e6:5d:1<br />
nd6 options=29<PERFORMNUD,IFDISABLED,AUTO_LINKLOCAL><br />
media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect mode 11a<br />
</pre><br />
If you have an output similar from the example above, you need to configure the file ''/etc/rc.conf'' using the '''ee''' editor.<br />
: <code>sudo ee /etc/rc.conf</code><br />
Add these 2 lines in the file ''/etc/rc.conf'' (replace 'run0' by your drivers).<br />
<pre><br />
wlans_run0="wlan0"<br />
ifconfig_wlan0="WPA DHCP"<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
Press the [[wikipedia:en:Esc key|Esc]] and save the file. Now you need to restart network interfaces <code>netif</code>. <br />
once done, restart the network routing daemon:<br />
: <code>sudo /etc/rc.d/netif restart</code> or <code>service netif restart </code><br />
: <code>sudo /etc/rc.d/routing restart</code> or <code>service routing restart </code><br />
<br />
Your wifi is now configured. You might have to set wlan0 interface up.<br />
: <code>sudo ifconfig wlan0 up</code><br />
<br />
Last you can manually run : <code>dhclient wlan0</code><br />
You might have to kill off an existing running dhclient process, to manual test getting a dynamic IP address from a dhcp server.<br />
: <code>killall dhclient </code>:<br />
: <code>dhclient wlan0 </code><br />
<br />
Print the routing table information for IP4 addresses. You can google search for useage of FreeBSD command <code> netstat </code><br />
Display the kernel routing information using <code>netstat -r </code> command. In example "routing tables" below, only print out IP4 addresses.<br />
<br />
: <code>netstat -4r </code><br />
<pre><br />
Routing tables<br />
<br />
Internet:<br />
Destination Gateway Flags Netif Expire<br />
default gateway.innflux.co UGS alc0<br />

localhost link#2 UH lo0<br />
</pre><br />
<!--T:75--><br />
If you have no output with <code>sudo ifconfig | grep -B 3 802.11</code>, this can mean your Wi-Fi kernel module is not compiled into GhostBSD or your Wi-Fi card is not yet supported by FreeBSD. Then please complete a [http://ghostbsd.org/problem_report problem report form] Your report will help us to improve GhostBSD.<br />
<br />
=== Why the Wi-Fi Network Manager don't work? === <!--T:76--><br />
<br />
<!--T:77--><br />
You might look at [[#Why my Wi-Fi don't work?]] (from above). If you have your Wi-Fi Configured and the Wi-Fi Network Manager still not working.<br />
: <code>sudo ifconfig wlan0 scan</code><br />
You should have something similar to this:<br />
<pre><br />
SSID/MESH ID BSSID CHAN RATE S:N INT CAPS<br />
rogerwifi bc:14:01:e6:33:48 1 54M -23:-42 100 EP WPS HTCAP WPA RSN WME<br />

BSDHacker 5c:d9:98:69:df:2e 11 54M -15:-27 100 EP HTCAP WPA WME WPS<br />
</pre><br />
If not, create a new wlan device (replace run0 by your drivers; like rtwn0 or urtwn0 ). <br />
: <code>sudo ifconfig wlan0 create wlandev run0</code> <br />
If not <code>sudo ifconfig wlan0 up scan</code> should do it. Now you can setup your network. From above you have non-encrypted and encrypted Wi-Fi networks listed. WLAN_6EFI is non-encrypted access point. rogerwifi and BSDHacker are encrypted access points.<br />
<br />
<!--T:78--><br />
For a non-encrypted Wi-Fi network add the following linesto the file ''/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf''.<br />
<pre><br />
network={<br />
ssid="WLAN_6EF1"<br />
bssid=00:13:f7:c4:6e:f3<br />
key_mgmt=NONE<br />
}<br />
</pre><br />
For an encrypted Wi-Fi network add the following lines to the file ''/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf''.<br />
<pre><br />
network={<br />
ssid="BSDHacking"<br />
bssid=5c:d9:98:69:df:2e<br />
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK<br />
proto=WPA<br />
psk="yourpasword"<br />
}<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
After editing the /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf file, execute the wpa_supplicant command and the dhclient command.<br />
<pre><br />
killall dhclient<br />
wpa_supplicant -B -i wlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf <br />
dhclient wlan0<br />
</pre><br />
<br />

== '''Hardware''' == <!--T:80--><br />
<br />
=== Does GhostBSD support the [[wikipedia:en:3D acceleration|3D acceleration]] of my graphics card? === <!--T:81--><br />
<br />
<!--T:82--><br />
It depends on the hardware of your graphics card, to have support by GhostBSD (or not).<ref>[https://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/x-config.html#idp63187920 FreeBSD Handbook: Xorg Configuration#Caveats]</ref><br />
<br />
<!--T:83--><br />
; ATI/Radeon:<br />
: 3D acceleration will not work on [[wikipedia:en:ATI Technologies|ATI]] or [[wikipedia:en:Radeon|Radeon]] cards until FreeBSD completes its [[wikipedia:Translation Table Maps|TTM]]<ref>[https://wiki.freebsd.org/Graphics#Kernel_drivers FreeBSD Wiki: Graphics#Kernel drivers]</ref> work (possibly in time for FreeBSD&nbsp;10.0)<ref>[https://wiki.freebsd.org/Ports/X11/Roadmap FreeBSD Wiki: Ports/X11/Roadmap]</ref>. You can still use these cards, but you will have to choose the 2D driver, and if that does not work, you will need to resort to using the Vesa driver.<br />
; Intel:<br />
: GhostBSD supports 3D acceleration on most Intel graphics cards. Due to the current [[wikipedia:en:kernel mode-setting|KMS]] support<sup>[https://wiki.freebsd.org/Intel_GPU]</sup>, you will not be able to switch between the graphical console and a virtual console (using <tt>[[wikipedia:en:Ctrl key|Crtl]]</tt>+<tt>[[wikipedia:en:Alt key|Alt]]</tt>+<tt>[[wikipedia:en:Function key|F#]]</tt>) when using the "sc" console driver.<br />
: Switching between graphics and text consoles will work when using the "vt" console driver, and GhostBSD right now default to "vt" console.<br />
; Nvidia Graphics:<br />
: Yes! But [https://svnweb.freebsd.org/ports/head/x11/nvidia-driver/ nvidia-driver] must be loaded.<sup>[https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/articles/compiz-fusion/nvidia-setup.html]</sup> The software can be installed easily, for example by using the (bxPKG/pkg) [[Package Manager]] or using ports as described on this page [[Nvidia driver installation]].<br />
