Gui
ok, i just installed mandrake LE2005 PPC on an ibook and the install went fine, I installed KDE/GNOME and when the it boots it starts in command prompt, what must i do to load a gui? I would like to load KDE because i'm used to working with it. any help would be greatly appreciated!
|
startx will get you into the default GUI (probably KDE)
You can also: startx /usr/bin/startkde startx /usr/bin/startgnome KC |
thanks a million, but is there any way i can set it up to load a gui from boot?
|
You will have to change your inittab file from a root console it's probably set to 3 you'll want to change it to 5:
Open Konsole from KDE type: $ su <enter> PW etc... # emacs /etc/inittab --SAMPLE-- # Default runlevel. The runlevels used by Mandrakelinux are: # 0 - halt (Do NOT set initdefault to this) # 1 - Single user mode # 2 - Multiuser, without NFS (The same as 3, if you do not have networking) # 3 - Full multiuser mode # 4 - unused # 5 - X11 # 6 - reboot (Do NOT set initdefault to this) # id:3:initdefault: <====[Change this to 5] # System initialization. si::sysinit:/etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit Save file and reboot KC |
its already set to 5, and it boots to commandprompt
|
Is there an error which causes the Display Manager to not start? Assuming you're using Mandriva, you would be using the Mandrake Display Manager -- is that installed properly? Is there an error in the startup of this Display manager which causes the computer to start in command prompt mode?
|
Please post any error messages, and the output of 'dmesg.'
Hopefully this will be just an xorg.conf problem. |
display manager is installed and gives teh OK at boot
