suggest we mark this as solved.

As I appear to be the only with an APU, I will in the next few days remaster the openbox iso to
A) change my bootcodes
B) Maybe add some stuff like alsa-utils binutils and so on

I am not yet ready to think of installing....so do not use a virtual machine.

Thanks for reading


Thierry:
Nice job.

Many thanks for yours inputs.

BR,
Thierry

aus9:
the kernel module tricked me....

Openbox iso does not have the amdgpu video driver installed.

I had to, using root powers

--- Code: ---cards install xorg-xf86-video-amdgpu
  xorg-xf86-video-amdgpu 22.0.0-1   59.64 KB (73.16 KB/s) 100 % - 0 s
Retrieve info about the 435 packages: 100 %
   ADD: (gui) xorg-xf86-video-amdgpu 22.0.0-1, 10 files: 100 %[11:12 x86_64 5.18.14-NuTyX root@gor]
post-install: start
  /sbin/ldconfig -r /
post-install: finish
--- End code ---

this conflicts with package list that claims that
 xorg-xf86-video-amdgpu 22.0.0   is installed.
ref
https://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=nutyx&pkglist=true&version=22.07.0#pkglist

I do not enough about cards or this distro.....as to what packages to what distro desktop were listed at distrowatch.

My fault for not checking....and this will resolve, hopefully if I do an install and then reboot to check

aus9:
installed into a spare partition and currently using a chainloader to get to grub menu

I have done something wrong as it then hanged with a msg of respawn after 5 minutes ....I waited and it repeated.

So I booted into other distro -> chroot and commented out the line in /etc/inittab for the xdm-nutyx
I also installed via chroot a number of packages including the amdgpu video driver and lightdm, as I am used to lightdm and not lxdm

but on reboot...only gave me a console prompt. I have to relearn sysV!

anyhow started lightdm and we have success

EDIT this is a grub2 entry installed into the PBR of sda3, I will modify it to make it explicit now.
I actually use another distro with grub2 in MBR chainloading to NuTyx

grub2 menu now reads

--- Quote --- menuentry "NuTyX Quiet" {
  set root=(hd0,msdos3)
   linux /boot/kernel-stable root=/dev/sda3 ro quiet mem_encrypt=off
   initrd /boot/initrd-stable
}
--- End quote ---

EDIT
A simple edit of /etc/inittab and reboot gave me lightdm

--- Quote ---x:5:respawn:/usr/bin/lightdm
--- End quote ---
