Re: xorg failure at start

Please do not post images of text, just post the text (and the complete text / log).  On first glance just at the image, it would appear you haven't installed a suitable video driver.

How did you install this system (which instructions did you follow)?  What is the (virtual) video hardware?  What drivers have you installed?

Re: xorg failure at start

Welcome to the Arch forum
I'm not sure if I can help you with your problem as such, but I can give you a couple pointers to get you in a good position to receive more help.

1. Don't show terminal output as pictures - share the real textual output by using a pastebin service or copy and paste using code tags (see the BBCode link below your post editing area).

2. Check out Arch Linux on a VPS in our wiki. It also has a section on Proxmox.

Edit: Trilby beat me to it Go with his advice, he'll see you right!
