Redhat 9 No login window
My problem is... I turn on the my computer, Redhat9 goes through all the normal booting processes, and when its done booting and i should have a login screen, I dont...
Ive tried all the Ctrl+Alt F's and no luck, not even a text login. It doesnt have internet access so I cant putty in until after I login. I have a knoppix, but i dont know what i should do with it to fix this. If anyone has any suggestions or somthing I should do, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks a Ton - Brad |
i think i that u are booting in a text runlevel
what do u get after booting process is over if u get to login prompt then after logging what do u get when u run startx regards |
Thats pretty much my problem, after the booting process if over, i get a blank screen.
|
so u have not been able to run redhat 9 even for 1st time?
regards |
i have logged in many times, but now its not working
|
try this
when the system starts after u selct redhat 9 to boot u get to choose interactive mode choose that mode by pressing "i" then u can select what service u want to start and what not to do not start the service before which ur screen goes blank and see if this works regards |
Ok, i have that option but it doesnt reckognise that im pressing "I" so.. i dont know why thats happening, should i edit commands before booting? If so what? Thanks.
|
if u should get a message
press I for interactive mode press 'i' for 4-5 times so that i hit the right mode then u wil get to interactive mode i have always gone through this many times |
I see what you mean, but still no interactive startup, even if i press "I" like crazy...
I see the text login window for a few seconds but then it goes away? |
ok do this
bootup from abother CD or OS mount ur redhat root partition then edit the /etc/inittab file and change ur runlevel from "5" to "3" then u can start in text mode and after loggin in to text mode run startx and look for error messages regards |
