Debian Initial Setup (Thru VmWare)
So I got the Debian Sarge Netinstall iso today and installed it through VMWare Player (www.easyvmx.com is a very good site for this :P)
Anyways, I installed the OS, did the initial config, had Aptitude grab all of the packages from the net, and all of that. But then I restart the computer and instead of loading xfree and/or the GUI, it gives me a command prompt with 'debian login:' When installing, I used 'vmware' as my monitor driver. Now, what can I do from here to get the GUI working? Preferrable without having to reinstall. I've had some previous experince with Linux, but I figured this is a fairly basic question so I went with the newbie thread. |
this might be obvious, but what happens when you run startx?

This is why it's in the newbie forum, I guess :D Thanks a lot Guess I'm just spoiled with Mandrake setting it up to automatically start? |
Here's a hopefully less newbish question: Why is the maximum resolution that KDE will let me set at 800x680?
Especially when I specified during setup that I want 1152x768. EDIT: Interestingly enough, updating the kernel to 2.6 helped. |
