Yeah, its a little mistake in all these install scripts.

Boot up the livecd again, go into terminal and type the following:

sudo su
mkdir /mnt/chroot
mount /dev/sda2 /mnt/chroot
chroot /mnt/chroot
passwd root

Then it will ask you for a new password.
!!!IMPORTANT!!! Press CTRL+C directly after you confirmed the password change, otherway the 2nd stage of installation will start, you dont want to do that in chroot!
After that you can also do:

adduser xbox

It will ask for some information about the user, then you will have a non-root user aswell.
At the end of this process just type:

exit

And rebooot the xbox, start with sda2 kernel again and you will be able to login

Hi kpozn360,
i also had the same problem.
It tourned out the xorg.conf file has an copy paste error. The first 3 strange characters causing the problem.

You can fix this issue like this: (as root user)

nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Then delete this strange first 3 characters and save the file. (ctrl + x and y for overwrite)

now restart the xbox or do this:

/etc/init.d/gdm stop
/etc/init.d/gdm start

next step you'll for sure want something like gnome.. use "apt-get install gnome" to install gnome. takes some moment but works after all.

Yeah sorry, I missed that. Config didnt have proper Unix-Style Line-ending and the first 3 chars were missing. Fixed version is on homebrew.allowed.org/free60/xorg.conf now.

[kpozn360]

thanks, i'm going to do this!
sorry was was bad yesterday!

[kpozn360]

hello!
well, first i must tell you i didn't knew anything about linux two weeks ago (except name and tuxs), i really thank you for your help!
i was just curious first, now i'm really interesting!
my english is quite bad when i write, but i understand very well in reading! (sorry)

i did like you told me octra, and first i didn't understood where were these symbols, so i erased all first line and wrote it again! cool, that works!

want to laught?

when i put my new password i wrote bobox360 but numpad wasn't active... and in the window it didn't recognised it. little mistake! changed it, all works for the moment

thanks to all of you
(i hope it's not to hard to read)
