Redhat 6.3 X Windows does not start upon booting
I created a fresh VM (vmware) and installed RH 6.3 with the gnome desktop, graphical utilites and X11-dev libs. I can start gnome manually but the desktop is bar, no menu bars. The inittab got set to "3" when I change it to 5 it hangs.
Appreciate any help. thanks. |
the first thing is to see if you need any updates
do a text only boot ( int 3 ) log in as root and run Code:
yum update then make sure you have the FULL install of gnome from the list outputed by this command Code:
yum grouplist |
have you allocated enough ram to your vm ?
make sure that your virtual machine is having at 1 GB ram.
try to create other virtual machine & at the time of installation, choose "Desktop" type of installation. because default is "basic" which will not provide you GUI. if this new machine is starting properly that would mean that you have not installed all the packages required in your previous machine. this will help you to pinpoint exact problem |
