No GUI in Mandriva 2006 under VMWare
I installed Mandriva 2006 under VMWare Server, and set up the GUI to be both KDE and GNOME.
However, when I start Mandriva, all I get is the text-based login screen. How can I set it up to automatically use KDE upon bootup? |
man inittab
Change the default runlevel from 3 to 5 Something like cp inittab inittab.bak sed s/id:3:initdefault:/id:5:initdefault:/g inittab.bak > inittab might even fix it |

Facing same problem

Im very newbie in linux and installed Mandriva Free 2006 (3 CDs) Today and was facing the same problem and let me check with the solution. Thank U (in both the situation) (working & not Working) |
When I had the problem, I fixed it by doing this:
1. Log in as root on the screen. 2. type "runlevel5" and hit Enter. 3. type "startx" and hit Enter. Also, how much RAM do you have in your computer? That may play a factor in your problem. |
640 Mb Ram
