Same problem. Only my tower has plenty of memory and disk space. I just get
a black screen, lonely mouse cursor in the upper left of my display. Yes,
the mouse cursor does move around. So, I open a terminal and startx gives me
the XFCE desktop. Ric
How did you open a terminal? From that screen, or by booting in a
different mode? When I tried that, I got a "no screens found" error,
which has led me to a solution, of sorts (and which I've literally
only just finished testing while writing this email):
By "terminal" I meant logging into a text-only terminal with ctrl-alt-F1
I'm not running a virtual instance, but the problem is the same with my
primary XFCE4 desktop. I've google's but am not coming up with anything
recent. Ric
