Boot stops at "Reached Target Graphical Interface" in VirtualBox

Hi All,

I am completely new to Arch Linux. After installing it in virtualBox ,i tried to boot but the booting stops at "Reached Target Graphical Interface" . Ctrl+C didn't make me reach the command prompt.I have installed VirtualBox in Ubuntu , so Ctrl+Alt+F2 is taking me to my Ubuntu prompt, not to the command prompt for Arch, can't help  sad.
Besides, while booting i also get "Failed to start Load Kernel Modules".
Any pointers on how to circumvent the issue and atleast reach the command prompt.

Thanks in advance,
ArchA

Try Host Key + F2.

I believe Host Key is set to Right Ctrl by default in VirtualBox.


No, it didn't "fix" anything. It just shifted the brokeness one space to the right. - jasonwryan

Re: Boot stops at "Reached Target Graphical Interface" in VirtualBox

Hi,

Thanks a lot for the quick reply.
But I got stuck at startX, as it gets terminated with error. Here's the errors  I have in Xorg.0.log :

(EE) open /dev/dri/card0: No such file or directory
(EE) AddScreen/ScreenInit failed for driver 0

Is there a way to select and copy the entire log from the arch command prompt in VB  ? I'm sure there must be. It would give more clarity on the errors occured.

Some more details considering there might be some graphic card issues I ran the following commands:

uname -a
Linux ArchLinux 4.6.2-1-ARCH #1 SHIP PREEMPT Wed Jun 8 09:34:34 CEST 2016 i686 GNU/Linux


lspci | grep -VGA
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: InnoTek Systemberatung GmbH VirtualBox Graphics Card

Note : i have already installed vesa.

Any pointers on how to proceed.

TIA,
ArchA
