Slackware issues.
I've installed slackware like 10 times, I got lilo to give it the MBR it boots and all that... but I type startx after selecting gnome as the display and it says command not found. HELP
|
Which version of Slackware is it?
|
9

hangon, you type startx AFTER starting gnome ? o_O
|
No before.
|
you have to configure X first, as root, run:
xf86config and then as your user, type "startx". If GNOME doesnt come up, run "xwmconfig" as root to change your default WM. |
Doesnt work.
|
You sure you actually installed the Gnome packages?
|
Well, to get it to work, you just have to execute the solution. ;)
Why not tell us WHAT HAPPENS. We cant help you with just "it doesnt work". |
it said,
xf86config invalid command... and then it still says startx isnt a command... |
I have GNOME and KDE installed... I can't even select KDE... now I don't even get that I'm back to where it says No Boot Signature in partition on boot now
|
Silly question, but still: are you typing these command as root? If not, that might be why they're not being picked up. Try running them as root.

All I have is root... I'm running them in root..
|
back to the same siutation now...
I'd be happy with GNOME or anything, right now I says i'm root@darkstar and when I say startx its an invalid command so is xf86config. |
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm. That *is* odd. Can you run "xwmconfig" at least? Or does that not work either?
