Unable to get GUI while starting the system...
 

Hi,

I am using Fedora Core 5 operating system from many days. Everything was working fine up till now. But few days before, my system stopped responding to any action. so, I rebooted the system. From that time, I am unable to get the GUI of the system.
I do not get the GUI automatically, when I start the system. When I start the system, each and every process gets started normally, But After that I do not get the graphical user login page.
For getting the GUI, I had to login in single user mode and then use startx command to get the GUI.
Can anyone tell me what is this problem, and how to solve it.

Thanks

Edit the file /etc/inittab
change runlevel to 5

i'e in line "id:5:initdefault:"

Hi Shashidhara,

Thanks for your reply. I checked /etc/inittab. The run level is already 5.
The problem is that, When I start the system, It shows me all the services started (i.e. [OK]). But after that, instead of displaying graphical login page, I get a black screen and the mouse pointer. Actually It should display the graphical login page.

Thanks

A black screen - but you have a mouse pointer? Hmm. On boot, don't do anything like run 'startx', instead, check your logs in /var/log and see if you can find clues as to why X or your desktop manager isn't initializing properly.
