Hi all,
Currently I am using Fedora 11 But Today when I restart my machine ,
it is not able to come with a windows for Login screen.
I found the error message

/etc/x11/prefdm :Line 32 : /user/bin/plymouth ----- No such file or directory found

I want to recover my operating system or atleast data on this machine .
Please give your ideas for resolving this .


Thanks
Nk

If that's what the error really is, edit /etc/X11/prefdm and change that line so that user becomes usr

Please post the output of

`login` root

`tty`

`runlevel`

some useful commands would be `X` `startx` `xorg`

also try `help` `pico /etc/inittab` or `nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf` `cat /var/log/messages` `ed /tmp/xerrs.log` `dmesg`

The folders/dirs may differ .?.

I am running Foxy3.0/1 and at live mode you're able to `(p)mount` `mount /dev/h(s)d** /mnt/s(h)d**` `dd /path/to/file /mnt/USBSTICK/* `cp DIR/FILE TO STORE/` `gparted` and install new OperatingSystem -- perhaps 3xat once (conservative 3xfs${nr} partition + 1x600MB+ swap partition)

don`t forget [TAB]/2x[TAB] for gr --> grub
or `apropos X(f86)` , `info X` , `man X` , `help` at the runlevel 2/3 - prompt.

For Data-Recovering I would advice some PUPPY or former Macpup 4.3
puppy 5.*

also once you can login UPDATE to 13

do a clean install of fedora 13 ( unless you made the boot partition bigger than 800Meg on fedora 11 ## this was not in the documents for 11 so i do not think you did that .)

Prepugrade will be unavailable to you

so do a full clean install of 13( with a 900 mg to 1 gig boot partition ) . Then in 5 months use "preupgrade" to install fedora 14

Well, I'm running Fedora 14 alpha rc3.1, and line 33 of /etc/X11/prefdm is
One could also edit grub.conf and remove rhgb from the kernel line (and lose the graphical boot)

Hi all of You
Thanks for your reply.I run Live CD of Fedora 13 on my machine and recover
all my data by coping on network machine.
