2.1.5 widescreen patch - multiple columns on dashboard

[phil.davis]

@spillemw:

My pfSense file system is read-only.  When I ssh to the machine and select shell, I am in the root directory, but obviously not a root user.  Note that I bought a Stonegate firewall with pfSense 2.1.5 pre-installed.
I am new to pfSense but not new to ubuntu.
Any suggestion?

–-------------------------

Update that may help other people : the file system was read-only so I had to remount it in the shell with rw enabled.  Then I could get the new them and apply it.
Do not forget to reboot the machine afterwards so that the ro is in place again for added security.

I have no idea what your post has to do with widescreen patch. But:

1. pfSense is built on top of FreeBSD (not Ubuntu)
2. It is all configured from the webGUI - so do not use the shell to change anything unless you know what and why you are changing it.
3. "disk" can be switched between ro and rw and back with:
   /etc/rc.conf_mount_rw
   /etc/rc.conf_mount_ro
   No need to find the right mount commands yourself, no need to reboot to put it back.
   Diagnostics->nanoBSD also has a button to switch to RW then switch back to RO.
