Hello all,
This is my first post on this forum. I did not find this issue in the
archives, if it is a duplicate, I apologize. Along the apology lines,
I hope the lines are wrapping ok for you.
I am a newbie to FreeBSD. I managed to get the install to work after
three tries, and even configured it to boot directly to the KDE boot
manager, where I can login. I have a few minor issues, beginning with
the inability to login using the KDE boot manager. This behavior
started as soon as I tried to use the KDE boot manager to start Gnome.
(I wanted to automount the cd drives, and read that Gnome does this by
default, while I was not able to accomplish this in KDE. I am getting
an error whenever I try to mount the CD in KDE.)
When I try to login using the graphical login screen, it acts like it
will work, and then immediately returns to the graphical login screen.
I have tried using the Menu button to choose the Session Type as KDE,
but nothing seems to work. The Console Login seems to be inoperative.
I suppose I should be able to boot directly to a command prompt, but I
don't know how to make that change at boot time. Even if I manage to
boot into console mode, I don't know where my configuration has been
corrupted.
I also have a couple of minor issues with configuring printer, portable
USB HD, and sound that I am hoping to work through.
If you have any suggestions, I am happy to try them. I am considering
the sledge-hammer approach of reinstallation, but I would prefer to
learn a little more about the OS instead.
Thank you for your help.
Michael
