Fedora 12 on Windows 7 Issue

Post by Redstone »

Hi, I'm running Virtualbox (3.1.6) on Win 7 (64) and I'm trying to install Fedora 12 (32).

I've done the installation with all settings as recommended. On the first run, it shows a warning that reads the next thing:
"The virtual machine window is optimized to work in 32 bit color mode but the color quality of the virtual display is currently set to 24 bit. Please open the display properties dialog of the guest OS and select a 32 bit color mode, if it is available, for best possible performance of the virtual video subsystem"

I just ignored it and continue, but all installation was without the normal graphical interface but a gray and red and black one. I ignored it and continue... but the system does not have a graphical interface :s i can only login to root in the terminal, but no gnome :s

I tried enabling the 3D flag, but it didn't do anything...

Thanks in advance
