fedora booting in text mode
 

Hi all,

My procps package wasn't working anymore since an update so I decided to reinstall it:

sudo yum remove procps
sudo yum install procps

bad way to do it, since with the remove all packages that depended on procpc also got removed. I have been trying to fix it, and managed to get most working.

However, my pc boots in text mode, searching around told me to edit the /etc/inittab, and the number was a 3. I changed it into 5, but it is not working.

When I am in text mode, I can enter startx to start xserver, and then my ip is wrong. with a /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup eth0 my internet is working. Anyone has any idea if im missing some package, or do I need to edit a script?

Thanks in advance,

Jurrian

Erm,

well for the eth0 one, do a "chkconfig --list network", that I suspect will be the first place to check for that.

As for the init level 3 default...

I take it what you changed was

id:3:initdefault:

to

id:5:initdefault:

?

here is the output of chkconfig:

Suppose one of them needs to be on, how can i achieve that?

And that's exactly what I changed.
EDIT
just fixed the booting, it now boots in graphical mode, I think its because I installed some more lib-gnome*, but not sure. Anyway, after logging in I am not able to see my desktop yet, it's just a blank blue screen..

Another edit:

fixed all booting problems. I remembered I had saved the list of removed dependy's, and reinstalled them with a sudo yum install `cat log`. I am going to start a new thread for the eth0 that's not working, since this title is a bit strange for that problem:)

Thanks your help
