Unable to get a copy of the log during startup but some more info copied from the screen. I started with "sudo startx" The following is displayed XINIT using config file /usr/share/x11/xorg.conf.d (EE) server terminated error(1) connection refused The VMbox logfile shows per attached VMbox log files. Not sure how I can get the logfiles from the linux virtual system disk. I hope to get another PC system running before the end of the week and I can then run the linux system on real hardware, I also had notification that there was a new version of VMbox and installed that and tried again with the same results. On getting access tyo the linux logs can I get a copy of KDE Live DVD and start it up (assuming it will work) and use it to access the log files? Thanks, Andy
