localhost
 

Hi,
I run this in my Red hat
/sbin/int 3

But after this, it (I mean the OS) then leads me to the Kernel (2.6.32-200.13.1.el5uek.on an i686) for localhost. After I login as “root”, how can I switch back to the previous mode of the OS?

Many thanks

Hi,

not 100% sure what you are asking, but perhaps you are wanting to get back to the default runlevel (should be 5 on RHEL). You can do that with the following command as root:
HTH,

Evo2.

PS. Did you make a typo with "/sbin/int"?

Good day all,
Thanks. Yes, by 'telinit ..' I can switch back to the normal login of the OS (not Kernel).

Why does it go to the Kernel for localhost login when every time I start the OS?

There is no typo for '/sbin/init'. Thanks

Can you explain more about "it (I mean the OS) then leads me to the Kernel (2.6.32-200.13.1.el5uek.on an i686) for localhost"? What do you actually see on the screen?

Thanks. It brings me to the Kernel with the prompt of localhost login. Then I can login as "root" user.

What are the actual words on the screen leading up to the login prompt?

I am running Red hat inside a VM that resides in Win 7 Professional. How can I capture the screenshot within the VM at that moment? Thanks.

A camera

No other way? Thanks

run the VM in windowed mode, hit print screen, open paint (in windows) paste the copied print screen, and save it.

If you want to boot in the GUI (graphical user interface) you need to alter
And change the runlevel
If you want to start the GUI after boot, login as root and type:
Kind regards

Thanks all.
Repo,
What should be altered for “/etc/innittab”?

Why do I get this?
[root@localhost ~]# startx
xauth: creating new authority file /root/.serverauth.4503


Fatal server error:
Server is already active for display 0
If this server is no longer running, remove /tmp/.X0-lock
and start again.

You can't have two instances of the X server running at the same time.
You first have to stop the first one.
Do you have a login manager running, like kdm, gdm....?

change
reboot

Kind regards

Thanks. Why do I get these?
[root@localhost ~]# cd /etc
[root@localhost etc]# dir innit*.*
dir: innit*.*: No such file or directory
[root@localhost etc]#

My bad, it's inittab
Kind regards
