Hi

Installed what I thought succesfully the latest release, to replace a borked ghostbsd, only to find that is more borked than the previos version.

Terminal will not open, software centre will not open, indeed very little will open and run.

Mate or XFCE?

I had same experience, but only one time. Just logged out and in, then it worked again. (MATE Desktop)

That is weird, but I think I have seen that before when the network was down.

Mate, both times, both with the present version/build and previous version/build.

It got worse as well, as with the previous version upon second login only desktop icons would show - no menu, no panels, nothing else.

I am downloading the xfce version as when I with the previous version installed xfce desktop as an alternative to mate that had no problems.

To be honest, unless what you mention is on the live dvd, then I would not be able to use these tools as nothing opens on the mate desktop - and its not really a desktop if only the background image and device/place icons show, and nothing opens anyway.

I went ahead and replaced with the XFCE version which runs fine.

So the Mate edition for this newest version and the prior version is borked - at least for myself.

For future reference an dell inspiron laptop, i7 cpu, 16gb ram, both an on board intel hdmi graphics and a radeon graphics card.
