Installed Q4OS 32Bit Trinity Aquarius overrides my monitor

Dear Q4OS-Team,

i installled Q4OS 32Bit Trinity Aquarius and it started fine with dual boot via grub on an Axiomtek SBC82630 with 950MHz Celeron CPU and 256MB RAM.
But after login with my user name it seems that it wants to start a GUI and the screen turns black and my LCD-Monitor (also with an VGA analog input) says, that it is overrided by too high frequencies.
The graphics chipset is a CT69000. A Alt-Ctrl-Backspace doesn't help, also not Alt-Ctrl-Fx keys.
Any idea? May be editing the install iso-file with another config for the GUI before burning it again to a CD and reinstall?

Best regards

Konubixe

I think your system is out of RAM: for the 64-bit version the minimum is 512 MB, it should not be so different for the 32-bit version (see https://www.q4os.org/downloads1.html).
From SBC82630 specs I could find, 512 MB is also the maximum supported by this board; so even if you upgrade to the maximum RAM you won't work comfortably.

Welcome to the forum @Konubixe

Q4OS 32Bit Trinity Aquarius should still work on a machine with 256MB RAM unless you apply Full profile or non TQt applications. You need sufficient swap space, we would recommend 2GB or more, so take care about that. We guess the issue has something to do with video drivers.

And there is now way to permit Q4OS to start the GUI? Command line would be enough for me...

Happy new year! :-)

You can disable GUI this way:
- Startup your computer and select "fail safe" mode on the Grub boot screen.
- Log in as root and run command in console terminal:
$ systemctl disable tdm.service
- Reboot and see what happens
