![]() In summary, Quirky is running OK, MPD playing songs and the system connects to internet. Delete all the files in /etc/X11 and copied them from my other pendrive quirkies as they are all being used in same laptop.Įxactly same issue black or frozen screen just after last message Recognizing media devices.Īll above are just the tip of the iceberg of 7 hours of booting and trial to no avail. Lesson learnt: I will install ssh server on all my other installations and in the future!!!ĥ. SSH, but unfortunately there is no ssh server running. ![]() No, AGAIN xwin has the correct name ( created / copied at start up by vmlinuz?)Ĥ. I've renamed xwin to xwin1 with the hope the script will stop with a "file not found" message. ( I assume everything is inside vmlinuz?).ģ. The initab file is somehow "created" during the init process as the initab file comes back to the previous initial content. ![]() As what it happens after the message above is an automatic login, using the other pendrive, I've edited /etc/initab in order to do a manual boot. The funny thing is that because I have MPD running a playlist on start-up, I know Quirky is up and running because it starts playing the song normally.īut at this point, the keyboard input is not listened at all, there is nothing else that holding the power button on for a hard shutdown.Ģ. Now to configure GNOME.Code: Select all Recognizing media devices. Right, Ctrl-Alt-Backspace doesn't work with my gentoo install, but it worked with a RedHat install that I have in a VirtualBox.Īlso, 'killall X', may not work, you might need 'killall Xorg', that's what happened with my gentoo install. Setxkbmap -option terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp though I'm not sure if this will be recieved while using virtualbox. I'm currently working on the dematerialization circuit for my blue box. You can also use alt+shift+F1 to get back to your login session and use control+c to kill it that way.įirst things first, but not necessarily in that order.Īpologies if I take a while to respond. Often I skip testing the X server unless the WM I want doesn't work. X doesn't respond to Ctrl-Alt-Backspace anymore unless you enable the behavior.įor testing purposes I usually prefer startx & sleep 10 killall X This series of commands will allow 10 seconds of X to test and then kill the server for better or worse. I'm using VirtualBox 4.3.10, and there is the option from the Machine menu, "Machine->Insert Ctrl-Alt-Backspace", that also suggests Host+Backspace will do the same. In one of 3 xterm windows enter "killall X" ![]() You can type 'exit' and press Enter in each one. If you close the three xterm windows, it should exit. The backspace key is actually labelled "delete" on my Mac keyboard. I am used to using Ctrl-Alt-Backspace for Linux on native hardware but that sequence is being ignored by VirtualBox. How do I exit X? There are no instructions on how to do that on the above page. It starts up and I have three xterm windows which I can type in. I've used these instructions to configure X on my VM: Posted: Wed 3:00 pm Post subject: How to exit 'startx' on VirtualBox Gentoo Forums Forum Index Desktop Environments Gentoo Forums :: View topic - How to exit 'startx' on VirtualBox ![]()
