it starts with boot tty and not with normal login with a graphical login environment

slayer21 · 07-08-2023, 02:03 PM

my friends i need your help sos!

I experimented with different commands in the terminal from a tutorial for greater security and privacy without actually knowing many things and in a manual mechanical way and it starts with boot tty in terminal format and I can't get the graphical login to enter the graphical desktop environment with the icons the windows and stuff. help me because i have a file for work and i can't get in

Which distro?
What commands?
You don’t give much to go on.
Did you try the startx command.

Are you using the most recent release of Fedora? If not, which are you using. Posting the commands you used would be helpful. Can you still boot Fedora and access a terminal? If you can, you should be able to access the file and copy it to another device if you know where on the filesystem it is located.

I have fedora cinnamon installed. I tried to make some settings for greater security without being an expert and I followed manual steps from a tutorial. Basically I scanned for vulnerabilities like OpenSCAP (https://static.open-scap.org/ssg-gui...ide-index.html) and the results it produced gave me instructions on how to make more security, more encrypted and after a reboot, it comes out in terminal format something like tty and while I write the username and password it does not proceed to enter a graphical desktop environment but remains there as a terminal

What happens if you type startx?

when I gave the startx command it gave me the following:

xauth: file /root/.serverauth.2135 does not exist

xinit: unable to run server ''/usr/bin/X'': No such file or directory

xinit: giving up
xinit: unable to connect to X server :Connection refused
xinit: server error

That's a purely technical error. It's supposed to say that.

Now that's significant! Something you did has caused X to become inaccessible. Just check quickly that /usr/bin/X exists and is a symbolic link to /usr/bin/Xorg. Also that you haven't encrypted this partition in a way that might make these files invisible.

I wish you had asked here before following online tutorials. Not all these people on YouTube know what they are talking about.

you are right. next time I will ask before I take any action. I am upset. What command should I write and bring it back?

what happens if you do:
sudo startx
or
sudo su -
startx

it produces the same results as what I wrote above

Did you check for /usr/bin/Xorg and its symbolic link /usr/bin/X as I suggested? There has to be a reason why these files are not being found. Perhaps the hardening procedure you carried out has made them inaccessible.

with what commands do I check them? in the meantime, when in this environment I give the ls command, it lists all my files normally, which means that they have not been deleted and that they simply exist, I cannot enter a graphical desktop environment and I am trapped in this form terminal

Code:

cd /usr/bin
ls -l X
ls -l Xorg

Paste the results here between code tags.

from this guide, through this programmer, I scanned for vulnerabilities and then it gave me the corresponding results and instructions through commands for greater security, encryption and the like. From what I understand, it boots through root and I haven't understood what this tty is and it won't let me to login through a graphical environment and enter the desktop work surface.probably the problem may be related to the Restrict Root Logins category
