problems with login,load graphical interface & configuring static ip
Hello !
i have mandrake 10.0 and i have removed the option for loading graphical interface on startup (Xserver).. insted i get
"localhost login :"
i try to enter using my root account & password..but it says incorrect login,i have also tried other accounts i have on that machine and i get same error!i am sure about the root password.. as in "failsafe" i can access to the shell.
what password do i need inorder to login there?
i have tried 2 access graphical interface from "failsafe" then running "kde" or "X" , but i get error..seems something related to X font server .
How can i reenter graphical interface?
i am trying to give that machine static ip : 192.168.0.10 , when i login in failsafe i try 2 type : ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.10
and it works, but when restarting computer in normal mode the new configuration i have done doesnt apply ...
I have valuable data on that machine..so i cant reinstall mandrake ..
I would thank you a lot for your kind help as its importent to me. .
With Regards
Juni
