Ultra Noob-stuck on Login screen after first reboot-Fedora9
Hi-I need someone to walk me thru Login fix. I successfully installed Fedora 9, when I reboot, I get text Login prompt: computer name login: however, during set up, I never establisherd a local user, and password. Therefore, whatever I type at the prompt yields: incorrect login errfor. I can however, login as root, b ut have no idea what to do from here.
Thanks, Laurence |
ok just press ALT+F2
login as root then Code:
useradd ted Code:
passwd ted ALT+F7 or simple reboot and you should be able to login as ted |
Hi-Ok I logged in as root, set up "ted" as user and password, rebooted, I now get a $ prompt: When I try "startX" I get a fatal error message and no GUI

Still stuck -Can't startx
Thanks all-I can now login with new user and password, but can't startx: fatal error, no screens found, unable to find valid framebuffer device, unable to connect to xserver. I was asked to consult log files for warnings, but don't know how to do this.

tail -100 /var/log/Xorg.0.log
BTW please post a link to your old thread, so I see what you are talking about. |
Issue this command
Code:
X -configure And you'll get an Info on how to start as test with this new xorg.conf if it works just copy it over the old one that is located /etc/X11/xorg.conf --> Code:
X -config /root/xorg.conf.new |
I don't know how to post link. However, It's in Linux-newbie Login failure thread with Isaliveart
|
BTW: There about 3 Threads started from you "Ultra noob-Login failure" and this one and another
|
I can now login as local user, but startx command yields fatal error: as above
|
Thanks-I have to go out-I'll do as you say when I return -Sorry for ineptitude- BTW how do I copy over new X -config? must I go into a text editor-I literally have never done this stuff before-Thanks
