When I pick SuSE 9.3 in GRUB, it loads into a non graphical user interface. After I log, in what do I have to type to have it load the GUI? Is there anyway to make it load the gui all the time?

Sorry, I just recently switched to Linux and want to learn as much as I can and I am hoping everyone here can help me out. Thank you for everything.

"Is there anyway to make it load the gui all the time?"

One possible problem is that you may have the CLI interface set as the default run level. Edit the file /etc/inittab which is where the default run level is set. You should have two lines that look like this part way down the file:

# The default runlevel is defined here
id:5:initdefault:

level 5 is GUI default run level. If the default run level is set to 3:

# The default runlevel is defined here
id:3:initdefault:

then the CLI is the default run level. If the default run level is 3 change it to 5 and things should work the way you want.

What do I have to type in the "terminal?" Sorry, I am very new to linux.

So i tried what you said, and it said that the default level was already 5, and now when i type startx it says:

Fatal Server Error:
Caught Signal 11. Server Aborting.

What do I do now?

Go to runlevel 3 by typing "init 3" then run sax2 to configure your X server.

Hi suse123456789

I'm not exactly sure about your problem but it sounds like something that happen to me when I recently installed SuSE 9.3 Pro, if that's the case you should check these links to solve your problem.
