Hi,
Executing pkg update -f
we get...

Ignore the mismatch and continue? [Y/n]:
=======================================
If I accept [Y] to ignore the OS mismatch and continue, the update finishes fine, however, on rebooting the desktop doesn't load [I'm left hanging at the FreeBGSD login prompt].

Would welcome advice please.

Steve

When you get this press yes and use pkg upgrade -f to upgrade and reinstall all the packages that have been compiled with the new kernel.

Hi Eric,
Unfortunately, doing pkg upgrade -f causes the GhostBSD login to keep recycling - the desktop doesn't fire up.
I checked with a new HDD using fresh install of 20.04 (last release) and then forcing upgrade of this - with same result.
There's something iffy about the current GhostBSD build for my PC.
I'll refrain from updating pkgs until there's a fix.
Steve

here is the latest ISO http://download.us.ghostbsd.org/develop ... 64/latest/ you can try that it was build today with the latest packages.

Thanks Eric,
Both MATE and XFCE install properly from your 24th July build.
So I assume the issue lies in the incremental pkg update process...
Steve

With some major changes, a new ISO is needed.

hi Eric
What do you mean "a new ISO is needed"? Should we re-install the whole OS?
Or we are able to upgrade currrent OS from this ISO?
Thanks

If you did install and the upgrade went fine. There is no need to reinstall if you have a problem from upgrading with `sudo pkg update -f` and `sudo upgrade -f` I would recommend to backup and reinstall.

Thank you Eric.
Just tried `sudo pkg update -f` and `sudo pkg upgrade -f` and it's not working.
Might be new reinstall is the unique solution.
