Hello!

NOTE: I am on VirtualBox

I am a newbie and I have just finally managed to install Arch Linux. I have also installed Xorg, the Plasma KDE desktop environment and the LightDM display manager.

The issue is with the latter, which I have enabled to start on boot, but I have neglected to install the proper display drivers. It fails to start and I'm stuck. I have tried to solve this by finding a way to run a rescue terminal or just disabling the lightdm service again, but every post I see or wiki page says to run certain commands on a terminal, but my problem is I can't get to a terminal! I've tried through the liveCD but even after mounting the boot partition and trying different commands there, nothing really works.

I obviously don't have the right Linux knowledge for this and an easy solution is to just reinstall the whole thing, but I was hoping for a more elegant solution. Thank you guys!
