text-baesd login

Hi there,

I have a problem. Every time I start up or reboot my machine, I always end up a text-based login page. So I have to use ctr+alt+F7 to switch the Gui login page. What should I do to make it automatically switch to Gui login?

Btw, I am using Fedora 6, runlevel is 5, and Gui works fine. Thanks

Take a look at /etc/inittab. Look for this:

Code:

# The default runlevel is defined here
id:3:initdefault:

If you see that, your system is set to boot into runlevel 3 (text mode, multi user). Change the 3 to a 5 and save the file. That changes the default runlevel to 5 (gui mode, multi user).
