Can't boot Wary Puppy Linux anymore, login: root (automatic login)
Hey guys, I had Wary Puppy 5.2.2 working and I used Gparter to give my drive a "boot flag" because I thought that would load up Wary Puppy right away instead of loading what I think is the grub loader.
Now I'm on a screen that says: Wary Puppy Linux Linux 2.6.32-uni [i686 arch] puppypc10613 login: root (automatic login) # I can type stuff in now but I have no idea how to get back to the normal Wary Puppy Linux and taking that bootflag off. Any help is appreciated. By the way I have Wary Puppy linux on a full install, XP shouldn't be on the system anymore ( I know people say don't do this but it's what I did). Thanks again. -theadolescent |

Thanks, I typed that in, and it says
Starting X, specs in /etx/X11/xorg.conf, startup apps /root/.xinitrc... Exited from X. Type "xwin [fvwm95:jwm]" to restart X ([ ] mean optional). (To shutdown PC type "poweroff", to reboot PC type "reboot") If X failed to start, type "xorgwizard" to set up x. I tried xorgwizard, put in necessary information. Then I get If X did not work, type "xorgwizard" to run video wizard again. After that, type "xwin" to run X graphics mode. Note, if X works but need sminor adjustment to the display, run the Video Wizard from within X (in the Setup menu) -- module "xvidtune" may be used, with caution, to finetune the display dimensions. I type in xwin, then I get Starting X, specs in /etx/X11/xorg.conf, startup apps /root/.xinitrc... Exited from X. Type "xwin [fvwm95:jwm]" to restart X ([ ] mean optional). (To shutdown PC type "poweroff", to reboot PC type "reboot") If X failed to start, type "xorgwizard" to set up x. again |

startgdmd did not work, startx is what got it to attempt to start

bad typo if you have gnome3 & gdm it would be startgdm3 |
Oh, okay.
startgdm3 doesn't work either. |
