Running under HyperV
When running the GoboLinux 016.01 live ISO through Hyper-V, you will notice that
startx
does not start correctly by default. You can fix this by adding a
kernel boot parameter and creating an Xorg configuration file.
Edit /System/Kernel/Boot/grub/grub.cfg
and find the kernel boot line. Change
video=vesafb:off
to video=hyperv_fb:1024x768
and save it. You may wish to
try this part in advance first, without saving it; in that case, press e
at
the Grub menu, make this same edit, and press Ctrl
-X
to boot once only with
the new command line.
Run X -configure
. It will generate a file xorg.conf.new
. Edit this file, and
change vesa
to fbdev
. Move the file to /etc/X11/xorg.conf
.
Reboot. startx
will now work normally.
