Hi Manish Thanks. I already did that but I use XFCE and it just freezes. Moreover it does not allow me to switch between terminals. I am wondering what the best desktop is that I can use on my FreeBSD 10.3 that will not freeze and that will allow me to switch between terminals. My thought was to use XFCE 'cus it's light weight and not expected to give such problems of freezing and empty control panel. Right now I have switched back to the terminal expecting an answer of peace before I install any other Desktop and that will WORK well. Thanks again Ola Sent from my MotoE2(4G-LTE) On 9 Oct 2016 2:56 p.m., "Manish Jain" <bourne.identity@hotmail.com> wrote: > On 10/09/16 17:30, freebsd-questions-request@freebsd.org wrote: > > Date: Sun, 09 Oct 2016 08:05:23 +0000 From: "Thomas Mueller" > > <mueller6722@twc.com> To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Cc: Olaoluwa > > Omokanwaiye <laoluomoks@gmail.com> Subject: Re: Hi, a dual booting and > > printing question Message-ID: <D4.54.26444.46AF9F75@dnvrco-omsmta03> > >> > Hi, > >> > Pls what do I do when I am unable to log in to my free BSD.
