Loading gnome from boot?
Hello again....
i have just one stupid question.... After i installed slackware 10 last night, all i get after i boot the machine is the "command prompt" ( Ps. what is that called) and i can do some simple commands in there but i wan gnome to load...HOW DO YOU DO THAT how do you load gnome after your computer starts so that you can use the GUI instead of the good ol prompt? slackware:newbie: to slackware |
either type startx at the prompt or change your init level from 3 to 4 in the /etc/inittab file to boot directly into gnome.
|
edit /etc/rc.local and add a line that reads startx

1. System boots up and you end up in bash : eg user@host:dir
2. run xorgconfig to configure your monitor/video adapter/mouse/kbd settings eg: Code:
root@darkstart:/root#/usr/X11R6/bin/xorgconfig eg: mcedit /etc/inittab change the line 'id:3:initdefault:' to 'id:4:initdefault:' Save your changes and exit the editor. 4. run 'xwmconfig' to select your default window manager 5. /sbin/reboot When your system boots you'll have a nice windows like interface asking for user&pass |
