Package: live-config Version: 3.0.15-1 Tags: patch The xserver-xorg script is forcing the 'vboxvideo' driver on virtualbox even if the guest additions (virtualbox-guest-x11 package) are not installed. This leads to X not starting on live systems without that package.
The attached simple patch should resolve the issue (still not tested, I will do in the coming hours). Regards, Eugenio -- .: Eugenio Paolantonio - Semplice Linux developer :. http://semplice-linux.org http://medesimo.eu Twitter: @eugenio_g7 - Homepage: http://me.medesimo.eu
