[Barrelfish-users] requesting for Help

[Reto Achermann]

Hi Ben,

As Mothy already said, you should see 'fish', the shell, after 
Barrelfish booted all cores etc.

You will see 'fish v0.2 -- pleased to meet you!'

Barrelfish does not have a GUI like Windows or Gnome. Just to make this 
clear, Barrelfish is not like Ubuntu or Linux at all.

If you keep seeing the error, please provide us with the faulting 
instruction pointer, where it occurs in the code (file & line), address 
and which domain/process it occurs in.
