Introduction
On this page we will collect some tips and tricks from users to users. It is not always sure, that a tip helps for your issue, but if so, you can comment on the Discussions page or write you solution in this list with your name as source.
It is not a forum. If you have a question and no answer yet, go to GhostBSD Forums.
But if you got a solution for your issues, you are welcome to describe it here in a short way.
Some proposals need to get there own pages, because of there volume. (see the blue links)
Tips and Tricks
How to move from Trident to GhostBSD?
Here you will find a Step by step tutorial on GitHub.

Some issues with WLAN/WiFi
Proposals from the community see on special page WLAN
Using Ports
"Don't use FreeBSD ports via portsnap on GhostBSD
Install it from GhostBSD ports
sudo git clone https://github.com/ghostbsd/ghostbsd-ports/ /usr/ports

Looking for devtools?
"Devtools are not installed by default" on GhostBSD
You have to install them:
sudo pkg install os-generic-userland-devtools
Source: ericbsd
drm-fbsd12.0-kmod
"Very importent when I send the next @GhostBSD packages everone that use drm-fbsd12.0-kmod need to make a sudo pkg upgrade -f drm-fbsd12.0-kmod or pkg upgrade -f if not on reboot you will have a kernel panic at less for intell."

Like to change the display manager
sudo rc-update delete lightdm
sudo rc-update add gdm

rc
Command scripts for auto-reboot and daemon startup|br/> See: Man Page
How to install Nvidia drivers?
Look on the linked page.
pkg is locked by an other process
sudo killall -9 pkg && sudo pkg update -f && sudo pkg upgrade -y
Suggestion from #hd_scania on Telegram on 25.01.2020 at 11:10
Migrate from Linux to GhostBSD and take your E-Mails and bookmarks with you
You would like to move from a Linux OS to GhostBSD and take your settings and E-Mails from Thunderbird and bookmarks from Firefox to GhostBSD.
Go on Linux to .thunderbird and .mozilla in your home directory and safe each folder /xyz.default and insert the contents in the folder /xyz.default-release on GhostBSD. xyz is only a replacement for bk3yc9n7 or something similar.
This worked from Debian to GhostBSD. Tested by Slughorn
Show USB devices
- Connect USB device
- Open a terminal
- Change to root
- Write: # gpart show
- gpart will show you the device dax and the partition sx
mount NTFS
- Do first
gpart show - Install: ntfs-3g
- Write:
# ntfs-3g /dev/da5s1 /mnt - da5s1 is an example
- /mnt is the mountpoint you wish
- open Thunar and go to /mnt
- Thunar shows you the content of your device and you can work with it
- Caja does not allways

mount FAT32
See also msdosfs
- Do first
gpart show - Write:
# mount -t msdosfs /dev/da5s1 /mnt - da5s1 is an example
- /mnt is the mountpoint you wish
- open Thunar and go to /mnt
- Thunar shows you the content of your device and you can work with it
- Caja does not always

System sticks during shutdown
If your system sticks during shutdown at: Saving dependencies cache
- Do:
sudo rc-update delete savecache shutdown
That will remove save cache.

Recommendation
If you look for something special, we recommend Howtos from FreeBSD
