Hello. I installed Trisquel in a virtualized environment using KVM using the net installer. When I start up the virtual machine I get a BusyBox prompt, even though I get the graphical loading screen with the blinking Trisquel logo. How can I install a graphical desktop environment like LXDE?. Will I have to reinstall Trisquel from scratch or I can do so from the BusyBox prompt?.

Regards.

It is a fully-featured terminal environment, not BusyBox. You can install LXDE in this way:
$ sudo apt-get install lxde

However, you may instead want the whole Trisquel Mini experience (based on LXDE):
$ sudo apt-get install trisquel-mini trisquel-mini-recommended

Or you can only install the base of Trisquel Mini, which includes LXDE, and later choose by yourself the user applications (the Web browser, the office suite, the email client, the PDF viewer, the instant messenger, etc.):
$ sudo apt-get install trisquel-mini

No, it's BusyBox, that's what it says, at least. I have neither sudo nor apt-get installed. Apparently, it's only the built-in commands that are available. Is there a way to recover this installation?.

A Trisquel system without apt-get?! That is weird! Personally, I would forget about this install and go with http://devel.trisquel.info/makeiso/iso/trisquel-mini_7.0-20140807_amd64.iso (since you seem to want a lightweight desktop system).

I installed using the net installer. I didn't disable apt-get or similar but I will take your suggestion of reinstalling.
