When I boot the Porteus 3.2.2 xfce, sometimes the blakc CLI screen appears and doesn't go on any more.
So, I am not able to go in GUI despite of several reboots.
Now, Below screen displays repeatedly.
How can I enter the GUI?

Re: Can not enter GUI
Use this cheat code acpi=off in /mnt/sdb1/boot/syslinux/porteus.cfg
Find
Replace with
or better update kernel /mnt/sdb1/boot/syslinux/vmlinuz and kernel-firmwares /mnt/sdb1/porteus/base/000-kernel.xzm
>>> Look at these posts
plus as bonus you can tweak this script
>>> Small fix for next Porteus (new option acpi=off)
Find
Code: Select all

Re: Can not enter GUI
I don't know the technical reason, but whenever I met that screen above, I could enter the GUI by just login and typing 'startx'.

Re: [Solved] Can not enter GUI
I have been trying to somehow get v3.2.2,32 bit run in my old Laptop.
Today, I replaced Kernel and Vmlinuz with the latest and started in fresh mode. Booted ok and the best thing was the kernel had MT7601u driver for USB WiFi dongle and connected @110 kbps.My old Raling thing had limitation to 801.11B/G and no N protocol.
I replaced core module with the v3.2.2. The machine booted but with the error message, " unknown user 'Avahi' in the D message bus. Reboot resulted in hanging after 'unmounting all'', may be due to this avahi thing. Solution please.How can I remove Avahi servers once for all?. I don't need them.
Next, I replaced XFCE module with the new one. Boot process got stuck with the 'login'splash screen. 'Guest' was already entered, and on entering password, the login screen comes back in loop,I paused the screen. Following were the log entries.
I shall replace xorg.xzm with the latest and reply back.
Hope I will succeed in booting v3.2.2 in my old machine with expert help.
