Hello to all
My name is Half1 and I am a new member.
first I want to say that I'm happy to be part of the LinuxQuestion.org
I installed Red Hat 7.5, the installation took place without problems. After rebooting the Start was directly from the Harddisk and exiting the Prompt, I inserted root and then the password, the result was:
localhost login: root
Password:.....
[root@localhost ≈]#
I`m sorry i can`t Post picture attachments!
with login using User and Password or via Root and Password happen the same!Than I tried with the bash startx but nothing happens. I confess that I am not the God of computer science and a help would be welcome
thank you all
my dear friend thank you for your disinterested answer, I have my account on Red Hat! Forums are there to help so I ask...
I've been using Linux for some time now. I quit for years now again I compare with Linux Distro.Red hat today has a graphical interface (excellent)
The steps to login are correct and I honestly do not understand why I do not enter the system
Sorry would be better if I could post the screenshot!

Rep:
Assuming that graphical mode IS installed open /var/log/Xorg.0.log and see what it says. If you don't have this file X is not trying to start and probably not installed.
To switch to a graphical environment, you might need to install extra software from a repository. You can access Red Hat Enterprise Linux repositories with your Red Hat Network subscription through the Internet or use a Red Hat Enterprise Linux installation DVD as a repository.
I inserted root and then the password, the result was:
localhost login: root
Password:.....
[root@localhost ≈]#
this is correct!
it is a text prompt.
you can enter commands.
but first of all, i need to ask: do you need to log in as root? the answer is likely NO.
log in as your usual user, which you created during install. then you will get a similar (but not the same) text prompt. try to enter 'startx'.
PS: please use code tags for posting code from now on. thank you.
