GhostBSD 20.04 Now Available

Submitted by ericbsd on Thu, 04/30/2020 - 20:02

I am happy to announce the availability of GhostBSD 20.04, but first thanks to all people that gave feedback and reported issues. We fixed a couple of problems that were found in 20.03. This release comes with kernel and OS updates and numerous software applications updates and many improvements like replacing gnome-mount and hald with FreeBSD devd and Vermaden automount which make auto mounting and unmounting of external device way more stable and supports more filesystems.

Fixed ZFS forced 4k option on ZFS full disk installation
Added 4k to default when creating ZFS partition with the installer partition editor
Fixed pool cleanup when deleting ZFS partition with the installer partition editor
Replaced gnome-mount and hald with FreeBSD devd and Vermaden automount
Fixed update manager weird loop
Fixed duplicate software repository config
Updated installer slide

Made Software Station progress bar more predominant
Changed config to configure X and boot directly to the desktop on the installation
Added ability to the installer to set hw.syscons.disable=1 if disable syscons is selected when booting livecd
Fixed ntpd service

To upgrade if not done already:

uname -U should output 1201513
