Hey all, Just got linux mandrake 9.2 installed on my system, and it was working fine just yesterday. I remember opening the konsole program and typing in the code to become root user ( I think) su, then login and password and such. Then I shut off my computer. Now when I try to dual boot into linux, a black screen comes up asking for localhost user and password, and I enter it and nothing really happensm it wont take me into the interactive startup! Please help, Im getting kinda stressed over it, and I dont know if I am screwed
Thanks you soooo much, that startx cmd worked.
I am so used to Windows, using their file explorer and all, how do I get to the file to change the level to 4? Thanks.
