How does the OS UI will look like

because if it is competing with windows it should look very nice.

Take a look at the screenshots

... or download the ISO and give it a try.

In the long term, a UI that is as glitzy as Windows or Mac or a mature desktop Linux would be a "nice". But (IMO) it would take 10's or 100's of man-years of effort to compete directly with these platforms, so I don't see this as a realistic goal for JNode. IMO, there are lots of other more realistic (and interesting) goals for JNode.

grub menu for gui disabled

Submitted by Fabien D on Tue, 02/05/2008 - 18:42.

For that release, we have disabled the grub menu for gui.
When you are on the command line type
- "gc" (for now, it's recommended to run it before starting gui)
- then "startawt" to start the gui

No Graphics Driver

Submitted by Peter on Thu, 02/07/2008 - 21:09.

That means there is no driver for your graphics card.
So you will only see the VGA Version, which is very basic, has wrong colors, and no cursor (since all other drivers use hardware cursors).

So you could either not use the GUI mode of Jnode, write support for your card, writing a vesa driver,...

No comfortable options but you're welcome to help Smiling
