Finally default install, no software added, freebsd-upgrade, install, install after boot to: root@wills:~ # uname -a FreeBSD wills 10.3-RELEASE-p2 FreeBSD 10.3-RELEASE-p2 #0: Wed May 4 06:03:51 UT C 2016 etc... Same situation, Have X working with icewm (blackbox, fluxbox OK also) qtfm, gpicview, xpdf etc OK but dbus errors, core dumps, missing libs. Whereis fails to find installed software, including system stuff, libs etc not found by whereas, or applications. Basically past doing much reading online/local due illness, home care... Seems a path related problem? Only change to boot config has been to add Automount="YES", that i may retrieve backup data via USB key. dmesg seems everything found, enabled hardware wise. Perhaps I need to do some config for dbus? Here are a few recent core dumps: dbus-monitor.core firefox.core dbus-send.core gedit.core efreet_desktop_cach.core gnome-settings-daem.core enlightenment_filem.core gnome-shell.core epiphany.core nautilus.core evince-previewer.core qtfm.core evince.core totem.core file-roller.core xpdf.core root@wills:~ # Forums appear offline at present. Any suggestions, reading matter (simpler the better)! Enough working to keep me going for a while. Back to poking around folders to find things. Enough online documents for now. de Bill VK2BLA... -- Using Opera's mail client: http://www.opera.com/mail/
