Hi, For anyone wanting to use the virtual box image, this is the thread I intend to use to address those issues, and update everyone with answers... this is basically our pre-alpha test.
The file I uploaded is a virtual DISK file. So load it into a premade machine with whatever 'hardware' specs you want to test. I do hope I linked in the correct image for everyone :) So... if you are having the long boot time 'waiting for network configuration' screen (may or may not...) I don't remember if I fixed this in the vdi or not... sorry. open a terminal and sudo pico /etc/network/interfaces comment out everything EXCEPT |auto lo iface lo inet loopback| Those other lines were there to get network at first while building from the mini... if this doesn't happen in the image, excuse me, as I built that one and I am working on the real one simultaneously (as well as a few other things :) To get shutdown to work right you need to modify the way xinit initializes everything.. Don't worry it is pretty easy, though figuring this out took me WAY too long ok, so in /etc/X11/xinit there is a file called xserverrc it looks like this: !#/bin/bash exec /usr/bin/X -nolisten tcp "$@" And it works fine if you are using a display manager such as lightdm, or whatever.. If you aren't you will not be able to do a lot of critical things... which is what happened to me. So you can simply copy that file to your $HOME via: cp /etc/X11/xinit/xserverrc ~/.xserverrc Now, you need to make it activate the virtual terminal you are using vt$XDG_VTNR in bash (for all of you who don't know this) the $XDG_VTNR is a variable. The $ tells bash to expand that variable into the real value. this variable is a built in shell variable, like $HOME you can run echo $VARIABLE to view the contents... where VARIABLE is an actual variable i.e. echo $XDG_VTNR this will give you a number, like 7 echo $HOME will tell you: /home//username/ echo $0 will tell you your shell i.e. bash and so on.... BACK TO THE POINT :) Add the vt$XDG_VTNR into the script so it will use your virtual terminal !#/bin/bash exec /usr/bin/X -nolisten tcp vt$XDG_VTNR "$@" if your $XDG_VTNR is actually 7 the computer will see this as exec /usr/bin/X -nolisten tcp vt*7* "$@" I am writing all of this down, so everyone here can do this! For all of you who know nothing about Bash, you really should learn, the more I learn the more amazing it becomes. p.s. sorry this was so long... -- Regards
