January 18 2024 More Random notes on GhostBSD 14.0-STABLE O/S bring up
- Be patient and wait for memory checking to complete before blindly typing ctrl-C. Have fun wildly swinging the mouse arrow cursor around the screen. Sort of Like Pong?
- Edit the /mnt/esp msdosfs config.txt file to modify the video output to fit INSIDE the borders of the screen.
overscan_left=100
overscan_right=25
overscan_top=30
overscan_bottom=24
On a Samsung TV you may adjust the video:
use the remote "menu" button ---> Picture --> Right arrow button,
Down arrow button to Picture Size --> Enter Button or Right arrow button. Make your selection "Screen Fit"
Enter Button.
Down arrow button to Position. Use the 4 arrow buttons to move the picture position around. When adjusted, Hit Enter,
Down arrow to "Close" menu Enter Button , then Hit Return button or Exit Button. Happy Full Visual Computing.
Will add a couple pictures here later. - Use the adduser command to create yourself a user name.
Like Joe or Guest
Groups: like Wheel Operator Video Audio are missing.
You are root user now.
cat /etc/passwd to see users and UID user id numbers.
First user is usually UID 1000, next 1001, 1002 - Serial port output did not happen on this system. What do I need to change, where to change, BOOT_MODE="YES" ??
- Test Audio with mpg123 pkg install mpg123
see if FreeBSD.conf file at /etc/pkgs works?
mkdir -p /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos
cp -p /etc/pkgs/FreeBSD.conf /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/ # add conf file here
cd /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos ;
fetch GhostBSD.conf pointing to Fred's http://ghostbsdarm64.hopto.org/packages That is Fred's NGINX webserver for the builder poudriere on the FreeBSD 15.0-CURRENT code base that was compiled from a local /usr/src to this computer FreeBSD /usr/src tree. But alas that /usr/src files got removed or knocked out. Now that I have GhostBSD-Arm64 working. Might just continue to work with this code base. at /usr/ghost14/ghostbsd-src cloned from github.com/ghostbsd/ghostbsd-src - ifconfig genet0 ;
dhclient genet0 ;
cat /boot/loader.conf ;
cat /etc/rc.conf
ping -c 3 192.168.1.1 ;

Get your internet working with an ethernet cable from your router plugged into RasPi4B RJ45 Ethernet connector. You can also purchase a T2U TP-Link WN725N 150Mbps RealTek rtl8188eu chipset 0x0bda : 0x8179 USB vendor : product IDs rtl8192cu chipsets work too. rtl8821 are not working quite yet
add 2 lines to /etc/rc.conf
wlands_rtwn0="wlan0" ;
ifconfig_rtwn0="DHCP ssid FreshTomato24" # for open wifi access point or "WPA DHCP" for encrypted wifi access point connection
add 4 lines to /boot/loader.conf
# WIFI load ;
rtwn_load="YES" ;
if_rtwn_usb_load="YES" ;
legal_realtek_license_ack=1 ;
sudo service netif restart ;
sudo service routing restart ;
To get changes in configuration files to be accessed and loaded.
ifconfig wlan0 down ;
ifconfig wlan0 up by itself does NOT work.
ifconfig wlan0 up scan list should show a list of available nearby access point wifi signals. Sometimes you can see the Access Point AP signal, but that signal is too weak to connect and transfer data.
ifconfig wlan0 create rtwn0 wlandev wlan0
ifconfig wlan0 ssid FreshTomato24
wpa_supplicant -i wlan0 -B -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
dhclient wlan0
For WPA DHCP edit in file /etc/rc.conf line ifconfig_rtwn0="WPA DCHP"
# Open network wifi access point. I recommend FreshTomato.org for router software
edit file /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
network={
ssid="FreshTomato24"
key_mgmt=NONE
}
# WPA-DHCP example
network={
ssid="simple"
psk="very secret passphrase"
proto=WPA RSN
priority=5
}
https://www.ccammack.com/posts/configure-a-wifi-client-on-freebsd/Simple ifconfig command to use with wlan0
This looks for available networks and will return a listing of them. In this case, we want to connect to the NYPL network so we'll use
ifconfig wlan0 ssid NYPL up
Hopefully you will see that it's joined, and running ifconfig iwm0 will show that it's associated. Get an address.
dhclient wlan0
ifconfig wlan0 up scan list
This looks for available networks and will return a listing of them. In this case, we want to connect to the NYPL network so we'll use
ifconfig wlan0 ssid NYPL #configures WLAN0 to use SSID NYPL channel ID
Hopefully you will see that it's joined, and running
ifconfig wlan0 # will show that it's associated. Get an address.
dhclient wlan0
sudo service netif restart - pkg version or pkg bootstrap will update your pkg software

DO NOT edit the configuration files in /etc/pkg directory! leave them alone, please.
