fix x windows
Hi,
Distro Fedora 5 I want to use gnome and cannot. I need help badly. X windows does not start up. something called xterm? or xtm, something like. all I know is that a long login box appears and when I log in I get a prompt to load Defualt --> load--break, default/failsafe--(buttons), and then I have to drop the terminal on the screen. and I cannot use the command startx, my initab is at 5 but when I start. I am deperate. I can load gnome-panel and then I have to drop and drag the top and the bottom. All this came about, when I notice one day an error message that said gnome could not load icons, please help. |
What is the actual error when you type startx from the command line ? I kind of think your getting twm (you refered to it as both xterm and xtm).
Does the file .xinitrc in your home directory contain the line exec gnome-session. If it doesn't, enter the following command Code:
echo "exec gnome-session" > ~/.xinitrc |
