[SOLVED]Tint2 added to autostart.sh, now no cursor.

I simply added tint2 to the end of $HOME/.config/openbox/autostart.sh and now I have no cursor, no way of getting starting xterm, I've pretty much got no way of interacting with Arch because SLiM starts up automatically and openbox does right after. I know it's not frozen, the clock is still working, and tint2 is starting up. There is also no cursor on my SLiM login screen. I've tried the Arch Fallback option in GRUB, but that leads me to the same thing.

What can I do?

Ctrl+Alt+F2 and log into a VT and look at the script. Did you add the & (ampersand) to the end?

Has anything else changed?  What does the line with tint2 in it look like (post your autostart file's contents)...?  Is that all you tried was to use the fallback kernel line?  Try removing tint2 from the autostart file and then put it somewhere else in the file perhaps?

Well to add to the complication.

I forgot to mention, It's in VirtualBox. So I haven't been able to get into a virtual terminal, because it does so on the host machine not the guest.

Nevermind, I should of thought about changing the host key.

Edit: Alright fixed it, sorry for wasting your time guys. I changed the line from tint2 to (sleep 2s && tint2) & and it's working fine now.

Appreciate the help though, it did lead me to the solution tongue.
