Hello,
I just installed Fedora core 6 with the default packages (no change), but when I press the alt+F7 keys the Graphical environment is not loaded. how can I load it????????

1st of all
Do you got a login screen?
YES/NO
(also a prompt on a black screen would be nice)
2nd In case 1st is answered with yes
and you're able to login as root
what shows and go on to step 3
3rd check your /etc/inittab
- at the point default runlevel 3 would be no GUI and 5 would be with X
4th if you see that in step 3 you have got inittab checked change 3 to 5 otherwise
if step 2 the runlevel determine thing said 3 then just enter init 5
if still no login in screen check
cat /var/log/X.org.log for any errors
or just enter
as step 5.
startx


Post your errors and outputs and so on here

My be your monitor is not supporting linux so try to reduce the screen size to 600*480 and then try.

have you tried the startx command?

thank you all for help. it worked by writing the startx command. but now there is another small problem!!! when I try to launch the add/remove applications it gives an error message - "cannot retrieve package information" and by clicking OK, it closes the window!!! I don't know what is the problem??????????????????

open a terminal
enter su -
enter your root password
then
yum install pirut

after that it will work

I tried the above command (yum install pirut) but it didn't work. It needs internet connection and I don't have internet connection in Linux. I want to open add/remove application, but that is the problem.
in the error message it says it might be because of the problems of network connection. I don't know how to fix it... please help me............!

You need a network connection to run add/remove programs and to install stuff with yum

So it means that i cannot add or remove packages in graphical mode!!!!!!!?????????? if it is the case so i will become very sad. so sad. very

bad. if there is any way to add or remove packages from graphical mode please tell me?????????? help me please??????!!!

SO FUNNY, NO MONEY, MY SUNNY.........
SO SAD, VERY BAD MY DAD...............................

you have to install packages with the rpm command, its not that hard, just do
rpm -i <packagename>
