Unable to run kde or gnome

["Martin, Larry D" <LDMartin@co.pg.md.us>]

I have installed Debian (2.6.32-5-s390x Sun Sep 23 08:59:07 UTC 2012) on a z9 – LPAR mode.

 

I can login but cannot get either gnome or kde to work.  Whenever I issue startx, I get:

 

xf860OpenConsole: Cannot open /dev/tty0 (No such file or directory).

 

I have tried to research this via Google but have not found any answer that works.  In /dev I do have a tty but no tty0.

 

Also, what editor do I have available in line mode?

 

Thanks,   ……….Larry
