      When running 19.2 core 32-bit iso (both regular & runit) in Virtualbox 6.1.2, the boot hangs just before X starts, at “live-restore-services: restoring service links.”

      I gave it a bit of time (a minute or two), pressed enter key, but still nothing. I’m thinking this may be a bug?

        Core has an X server pre-installed now?

          Oops. Sorry, I got ahead of myself…
          I should have said “before login.”

          (My intent is to startx upon login, once I’ve set it up.)

          To clarify what I mean: On previous antiX 19 core live instances, I could press enter at this point, and the login would come up. Now it isn’t.

            Both work ok here. Using Virtualbox version 6.1.2_Debian r135662

            Philosophers have interpreted the world in many ways; the point is to change it.

            antiX with runit - leaner and meaner.

              Same version as mine.

              OK, well, I’m glad it works in general. I was just trying to report a bug (if that were the case). I’m just puzzled about why it doesn’t work on mine…

              I tried it again, and timed it — over 5 minutes hang, then I gave up. I then made a live usb, and that booted up perfectly. Perhaps my VM problem is a settings issue? I set it as Debian 32-bit, which normally works. Maybe the problem lies with the computer being old — bios dated 2007.

              Anyway, I’m glad no one else seems to have this issue, so no further help is being asked on my account. If I want to play with core, I can always boot the usb…

                UPDATE: In case anyone else experiences this: Booting in failsafe mode works, which allows one to install antiX core in virtualbox.
