Kororaa 15 beta bug – X not starting

Some users have reported that X (graphical interface) doesn’t start when booting the Live DVD.

Symptoms:
The Live DVD boots to a black screen and the login manager doesn’t display.

Expected results:
The Live DVD boots to the login manager and then to the desktop.

Work around:
When the computer arrives as the black screen you can switch terminals, log in as root and start the appropriate login manager (whether GNOME or KDE).

GNOME:
Alt + F2
root
gdm

KDE:
Alt + F2
root
kdm

I have not yet been able to reproduce this error, so I’m not sure why it’s happening. If you have further information or make any discoveries, please let us know on the forums.

Sorry for the trouble!

Thanks,
Chris
