trouble loading GUI in Fedora Linux
 

I have installed Fedora in my hard disk,but the GUI is not working.I can still work using my command line,but my mouse is not working.Is there any way out without re-installation?

Well, may some details could help.....
Anyway, if you are connected you can:

• install a gm (it need a lot of MB to be downloaded):
  
  Code:

  ---

  yum installgroup kde

  ---

• try to start the x server:
  
  Code:

  ---

  startx

  ---

If you will be lucky you should get it....

Good luck!

Some infos would help us to help you, for example the version of Fedora you installed and which graphics hardware you are using.

Yes, exactly. From my experience with Fedora, however, some updates remove half the system for dependencies (Debian-based distros, you also experience this problem). If you happen to run into a problem like this, my advice is: Grab a Fedora Live CD, repartition your hard drive, and reinstall Fedora.

If you have the command line working, and Internet access, do a yum install mc to get a pseudo-gui file manager/editor.

Then press the ctrl-alt-f2 key combination to get a second log in tty, and log in a a normal user before you try the startx. (Running a GUI as root is an avoidable security risk.) If that works, and you get a GUI, open a terminal window and do a cat /etc/inittab and look at the last line. It should look like this:If the number is 3 instead of 5, change it to a 5. (You can use the mc editor to do that, or, if you're in the GUI, try su -c 'gedit /etc/inittab' to edit the file as "root".

On the other hand, if startx fails, tell us the error that will be displayed on your screen.

I do not have a internet connection in linux................

You should know what you do while running development/unstable systems. If you make an update that will remove half of your system because of a dependency-problem, then simply don't press "Y". If you do so, then blame yourself, not the system. Development/unstable versions are not for the mindless.
