Wallpapers for PC-BSD 9.2


You can use any suitably sized image you like from your own collection or from the web, as long as it is in the png format. The icons in PC-BSD are also png files, in case you want to make your own.

Please note:
If you have installed this system, and find that your flash objects don't work in Firefox or you get a notice that a plugin is required, this is a problem in Firefox,
because the Flash player is already installed in the operating system - it comes with it. Here's a cure I found from one of the founding fathers of PC-BSD. He says to go into your Terminal (Konsole in Gnome) [Windows = Cmd Prompt]
and at the cursor type: flashpluginctl off and after that completes and confirms then type flashpluginctl on and again wait for confirmation. That should reset it,
and you should now see the animations which were formerly not working. I've just tried this with my own Firefox, and it fixed the problem for me.

I'm finding that there's a lot of good help out there, if you ask the right questions in a Google Search, and then read the postings which come up.
It seems like an easier process than I had trying to learn Windows. Microsoft is getting better lately at making information available to users, but it wasn't always like that. Unless you knew the secret handshake, you were out of it.
