X Error-Respawning too fast
Hi,
Whenever I try to log in as a different user (other than root) all I get is a blinking screen and a message is displayed after around 5 minutes "X is respawning too fast..." And then I have to reeboot my machine to get back as root Any ideas:rolleyes: Thankx in advance... |
I think you are trying to go to runlevel 5, which by default starts graphical login screen. And for some reason it fails to start X and keep respawning. Change your runlevel to 3, make sure that your X is configured and you can start it from command line by typing "xinit" or "startx". After this you can put back your old runlevel.
( To change default runlevel edit /etc/inittab and change the line id:5:initdefault: to id:3:initdefault: ) --Sarin ( Sorry, May be I am wrong. I think in that case it should have said something about level 5 ) |
OK...
I will try that ...but can you please explain to me what are run levels and why they are important Thankx in advance... |
