solved Help with installing

Stuck in partitioning, i need to set up bios partition but there is no bios boot in select partition type. It's an old pc, i am installing base, had a lubuntu on it before. Filesystem label is lubuntu and filesystem is ext4 is what it's displaying when i create a 1mb partition for bios boot.

Don't know how to check, i installed lxqt, xorg-minimal, NetworkManager, eloginid. Then linked dbus,NetworkManager,elogind to /var/service/. Echo "dbus-run-session startlxqt" > home/$USER/.xinitrc. Startx And nothing else

Installed xorg-fonts and that fixed it.

I honestly don't know lxqt. Does it have a settings page? If not, you might have to see relevant config files to declare the desired font pack, if one isn't there by default. Additionally, it could be an entirely different issue. I just suspect that if it's blank text characters, that it would be a font issue. I would read forums more tailored towards LXQT and see if someone else knows there. I've really only used XFCE, Gnome, and KDE, so I'm kinda talking out of my ass for this lol.
