I installed suse linux 10 via virtual pc 7 on my powermac g5 system. Installation went fine, but I don't get a Gui login-in window. I only get a command line login.
I need to know how do I start the Gui interface from the command line. I tried "startx", but get this message back ... "you did not install any X-server \(e.g. Xorg\)! Please install at least one server to start X." Anyone knows what this means. many thnaks |

The PPC install does not provide a bootloader. You need to boot off of the installation CD#1, cancel out of the install and 'boot from the installed system'. Once there you need to install lilo. Instructions are here;

... but if someone is installing under Virtual PC, they are using non-PPC disks.
Also, this is (one of) the X11 issues. http://www.opensuse.org/index.php/Po..._configuration though I doubt that will help. More likely need to ask in another non-PPC forum. When I used VPC (5 yrs ago?) I would have a image for OpenBSD, NetBSD, and would just load those into the VPC space. Annoying Bugs: http://www.opensuse.org/Bugs:Most_Annoying_Bugs |
