No gui on virtual box installation
« on: October 24, 2020, 05:36:48 AM »
Hey forum,
I'm trying to get a vm installed but I ran into a problem.
Config:
512 mb ram
2 gb hdd
linux 2.6 32 bit
tinycore 11x or 10x

Each time I boot the iso the system works fine with the tinycore iso. Then I load the tc-installer and run it. I install the system from cd, use the whole drive, take a boot loader and finish the installation with success. But after ejecting the iso the system starts with the tc@box shell. I already tried to set other usbwait values in /mnt/sda1/tce/boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf.

Thanks a lot for your help.

Hi, welcome to the forum.

I can't replicate your problem.

What's your host system ?

The default X server [Xvesa] can be quirky on VM sometimes.

Perhaps you should use Xorg instead.

Try this on your installed system.
Code: [Select]
tce-load -wi Xorg-7.7
Remove Xvesa.tcz from your tce(tce32)/onboot.lst and retry.

Thx a lot for your reply. My host is running Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS.
I installed Xorg-7.7. Xvesa.tcz wasn't listed in the onboot.lst. Now my system stops at "Booting the kernel." with a blinking cursor. boots into a black screen.

Hi Noob2020
... linux 2.6 32 bit ...
If you're referring to the 2.6 kernel, I think it was replaced about 10 years ago.

Did you select  X/GUI Desktop  during the installation:

On some machines, graphics-KERNEL may be required for X to display.
Code: [Select]
tce-load -wi graphics-KERNEL
Have you installed any window manager ? (flwm, jwm, icewm, fluxbox, hackedbox, openbox ..

Please show us the contents of your tce(tce32)/onboot.lst

You might need to refresh the extensions.
Code: [Select]
tce-audit updatedeps
tce-audit builddb
tce-audit fetchmissing

Thanks a lot for your answers. I just wanted to try a simple installation out of the box with the current iso.

Strange... it worked with the core plus.iso.
