Fedora 9 will ONLY boot into single user mode...
 
I just installed Fedora 9 on to my home computer. I have an Nvidia card so I had to enable the Livna repo and get the kmod-nvidia driver installed from Single user mode. I completely updated the system from there as well. After doing all of that, it will ONLY boot into single user mode and I have to type in
Code:
startx
to get into Gnome. In addition to that, NetworkManager does not work once inside of Gnome. I have to type
Code:
service network restart
to get network functionality going again.

Any idea how to get it to boot straight to Gnome?

Check /etc/inittab that you have 5 as your default runlevel:
Quote:
id:5:initdefault:
Then run
Code:
init 5
and hopefully next time you reboot you will go straight to runlevel 5.

Alright, it boots into Gnome just fine now. However, I'm still having a problem with the Networkmanager. It is set to run through System<Administration<Services... but it isn't coming up still. I have to issue the command
Code:
service network restart
Any ideas?

You can read this for hints.

Alright, I got it. Network Manager was not set to control the device. You can change this by going into the properties of the device by going to
Code:
system-config-network
then go into the properties and make sure that the box is ticked that say "Controlled by Network Manager".
