slackware login command line isnt working

bob jones15 · 03-21-2006, 07:03 AM

I log in as root then i type #startx and several variations of #startx. eg. startx, #start x, # startx and #xorgconfig. The command line isn't running them it, is not saying that the command doesn't exist but it doesnt do anything. Also i used adduser but it didn't work either.
thanks

I surely hope you did not really type that "#" in front of "startx" did you?

bob I say it as forum user I have no rights but there's no need to double post, just post in one forum yes posting in this forum slackware problem is better but still don't double post.
