Quick fix GhostBSD 21.09.08 ISO now available

Submitted by ericbsd on Thu, 09/09/2021 - 07:38

This new ISO contains a vital fix for lightdm after installation. For an unknown reason, sysrc does not work in the iso_to_hd.sh script. I had to replace it with sed. I also fixed automount on the ISO boot and fixed .xinitrc group permission.

To upgrade to 21.09.08

There is nothing to update if you have installed 21.09.06 or normally update your system.

If you are running on 21.09.08 make sure that lightdm_enable is YES in /etc/rc.conf.

sysrc lightdm_enable=YES

2 GB ram is really low for today's computing. The 4 GB limit is the price to pay to have a read and right zfs live files system.
