X fails

Post by mystified »

I just upgraded to the latest and with every distro I try x fails. I'm linking to a snap shot Here Any help would be appreciated since I really like using VB.

Thanks!

From that tiny pic, there is little to make out of it. All I can read is that KDE cannot be started by X, command not found. And you don't have a /tmp folder. Fix the errors first. Also, what distro's did you try. You say all, but there are a lot of them.

I'm using Gentoo Linux as my host distro. My hardware is completely linux compatible as I built the box myself. I'm using version 1.6.4.
