Hi All, I installed the new SpiderWeb 2.2.2 on Fienix today. It works on my X1000 but it doesn't start on my X5000. I tried Wicknix's package as well but it doesn't work on my X5000 with Fienix either. The strange thing is, that the new SpiderWeb 2.2.2 works on ubuntu MATE 16.04.6 on my X5000 witho...

Were you also unable to Ctrl + Alt + F1 to login to console?

Well that's not fantastic news.

Is your Ethernet cord plugged into a port up by your USB ports, or down further where the PCI slots are? Down by the PCI slots. I don't have a spare USB port. If I want to plug something in, I have to take out the Wi-fi dongle up top. So is that the on-board networking? Just started using Interweb ...

Nothing. Just sits at the login prompt. When I type in fienix for the user, i never get a password prompt. Eventually the screen clears and I have a flashing cursor in the upperleft and corner for just a short bit then it turns solid and nothing else. CTRL + ALT + F1 does nothing at that point eith...

Interweb version 20200607 is (finally) available in the Fienix software repositories.

Just booted with the xorg.conf file copied to the Amiga on the Lake stick. Booted right up to the graphical login in Fienix. Success finally!

Now to start loading some software!

Many thanks for all the help everyone.

Excellent, glad to hear you've got it working! Enjoy!

Right now my monitor is attached thru DVI. I have tried HDMI as well. A little further progress. I have both the downloaded image on a usb stick (usb 2.0) and the updated image from Amiga On The Lake. With my usb stick, it boots albeit slow and I have finally after many tries gotten it to give me a...
