MATE 1.26.0 upgrade ready

MATE 1.26.0 build finished Yesterday, and this evening I tested the Upgrade. Everything has been working as expected, so I did send packages to the latest software packages repository.

I recommend using the Update Station to upgrade to MATE 1.26.0.

An ISO will be available soon to download on the latest build section of the download page.

I will most likely publish the ISO this weekend.

Quick fix GhostBSD 21.09.08 ISO now available

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
