GUI doesn't start

Faceless42001 · 08-16-2004, 05:49 AM

I just installed Slackware 10 and everything went fine.

I chose FluxBox as my default gui but it just starts in text mode. I don't get any errors or anything, it just doesn't come on.

I tried to run 'startx' but that doesn't seem to exist.

Any ideas?

Thanks

whatabout a command called xinit ? if it exists, try

man xinit

that's a beginning, at least..

Try logging in as root and enter init 4
Then edit /etc/inittab and change initdefault to 4
