Ah, I fixed it by running the /usr/share/debconf/fix_db.pl. Cheers!

Hi tux,

Thanks for the prompt response. I'll give that a shot - I've got a long-winded compilation task running right now (CDE) but in another session I tried running tasksel as root and got the cryptic `debconf failed to run`. I checked the --list-tasks option and it lists a few window managers that I could install - I'll try to setup lxqt, I suppose. Is this just a shortcut to apt-getting the task package or is there more magic to it than that?

Hello all,

Sorry for being such a n00b but it's been a minute since I've done any Linux sysadminning and a lot has changed in the interim.

I've successfully booted beowulf 3.1 (arm-64) on an rpi-3b+ (kudos to the team for getting these builds, thank you so much!), gone through the run-setup tidbit, and have rebooted the system but no graphical login or gui comes up. `startx` is not found in the `pi` (default) user path, and I'm just a little bit at a loss here, though I'm sure I'm just forgetting some ordinary incantation or haven't done some setup step that I overlooked in the multitude of readme's along the way.

Can anybody get me a pointer to how to get the system booting with a (very light - cde-light) x display manager and graphical login?
