<p>Hi Felicity,</p>
<p>I'm switching you across to the OSGeoLive email list, where you
will find people who can help with these OSGeoLive issues.</p>
<p>I suspect you are seeing a screen similar to the following? (I
have 2 virtual machines, you probably only have 1, without
snapshots.)</p>
<p>Click on following 1, 2, 3 sequence.<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p><img src="cid:16b52a61419380ea7fd1" alt=""></p>
<p>This should take you to the following screen. If you don't click
on the following screen, it will automatically boot the Ubuntu
disk (which is actually our OSGeoLive disk). Otherwise just press
enter<br>
</p>
<p><img src="cid:16b52a61419363850ad2" alt=""></p>
<p>If you haven't got this far, it is possible you haven't mounted
your virtual machine correctly yet.</p>
<p>The boot process will go through a couple of screens, then you
will get to:</p>
<p><img src="cid:16b52a614194be45a053" alt=""></p>
<p>Ignore the popup (press Cancel).</p>
<p>Click "OK" on the other popup, and then you will have the virtual
machine set up.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Based on your error report, I suspect you might have been tripped
up somewhere else, and we will need to help you with your
debugging a bit more.</p>
<p><br>
</p>

<div>Hi Felicity,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I can't edit the OSGeo Live docs, or post any screenshots
right now, but hopefully I can give you some pointers to
proceed, and I agree that this section in the documentation
needs expanding.<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The OSGeo system is fully "up" when the Welcome window
appears. Once you've read as much or as little of the welcome
information as you would like, dismiss it with the OK button.
To start a terminal session, click the terminal icon on the
start bar (to the right of the firefox icon, called
LXTerminal). You can then type the commands provided in the
quickstart docs (as they appear after the user@osgeolive:~$
prompt).</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Hope that helps</div>

<div>I can't for the life of me get up and running. <br>
<br>
On this page <a href="https://live.osgeo.org/en/quickstart/virtualization_quickstart.html" target="_blank">https://live.osgeo.org/en/quickstart/virtualization_quickstart.html</a>,
I need a screenshot in the "Running the Virtual Machine"
section after the text "Once the OSGeo system comes up".
What should I expect to see here?<br>
