Starting X program

/etc/inittab is set to runlevel 5, and Sugar starts in the
simulator.

But once in Sugar, I can't get a command prompt, and don't
know how to 
start any X program.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,

Teus.

Ctrl+Alt+F1 will get you a login prompt on VT1 just like any
other linux
box...

True, it would, but as the image runs in the qemu simulator, it gives a terminal on vt1 on the host... Somehow qemu does not pass Ctrl+Alt+F1 to the guest OS, or the host OS snoops it away...

Secondly, if I were to be able to open the terminal on VT1, that would be a text terminal. Starting X with startx would complain that the X server is already running. Then killing that server, and starting it again with "startx" would bring me back into Sugar without the option to start an xterm...

Any further help is appreciated. I am particularly interested in knowing which file to edit so that sugar would start a terminal or any other X program.

Thanks,

Teus.

Use Ctrl-Alt-2 to switch to qemu console, and then 'sendkey
ctrl-alt-f1'.
