GUI won't start in Debian guest VM after some upgrades
Posted: 19. Dec 2013, 16:58
Hi there,
I have run into trouble after trying to upgrade my Debian installation in a virtual machine to try to fix some broken dependencies.
When I start the virtual machine, it never makes it into the graphical interface. The prompt stops after saying:
After that, I can only use the command line (where I'm helpless).
The host is Mac OS X 10.6.8
The guest is Debian 6.0 (according to /etc/issue)
kernel: 2.6.32-5-686 (according to uname -r)
Could someone please help? I don't know what information you would need to have.
Thanks a lot in advance.
Cheers, Manuel
