During initial installation of Project Trident it was based on FreeBSD CURRENT branch. As of time of migration from Project Trident to GhostBSD, FreeBSD CURRENT version was 13.0. GhostBSD does have a repository based on FreeBSD-13.0-CURRENT. However all of the latest updates are coming to FreeBSD-12.1-STABLE branch. Here is a simple walkthrough of what I had to do in order to achieve migrationg to the latest branch of GhostBSD:

• System ABI is sourced either from /etc/pkg.conf, /usr/local/etc/pkg.conf or from /bin/sh by default. Update ABI as follows in /etc/pkg.conf or /usr/local/etc/pkg.conf. The configuration setting is an architecture triple: ::

ABI = FreeBSD:12:amd64

• Bootstrap package repository:

sudo pkg bootstrap -f

• Update repository cache:

sudo pkg update -f

• Install updates from the package repository:

sudo pkg upgrade -f

• Ensure essential GhostBSD packages are installed:

sudo pkg install -g ghostbsd

• Reboot the system

sudo reboot

Notes:

• Because this is a major system update some packages need to be re-installed. For example, I needed to (re)install Xorg input drivers in order to fix my issue with an unresponsive keyboard and mouse.

sudo pkg install xorg-drivers
