Hi all,
Apologies if this is a very stupid question. I am brand new to Debian and can't seem to get set up in VirtualBox.
Basically, when I start the OS I end up on a terminal page (I tried to attach but can't) which just says "
Debian GNU/Linux 10 MyName ttyi
MyName login:
I can enter my login etc but can't figure out how to login to the OS after that.
Can anybody help me get set up here?
Thanks all, have a good weekend.
John.

Enter your login name, press <return> then enter your password and press <return> again. TTY ftw!brandNewGuy wrote:I can enter my login etc but can't figure out how to login to the OS after that.
EDIT: I initially misread your thread title and didn't see the word "set", you nearly got a viagra link...

Yeah, that's the way I like it, baby.
What did you want to happen? For a graphical desktop try
Did you not see that screen in the installer? Which ISO image did you use (URL link preferred)?

I've run that image *many* times and it always shows the tasksel screen for me.
Here it is:
^ That's from the exact image you have linked.
Anyway just run the tasksel command from the console, as I suggested.

For netinst.iso, that is what you should get.brandNewGuy wrote:Hey,

try live-cd.iso, which is the most friendly image for newbie.
