Hey again

A friend of mine have some problems. Then he starts Suse linux 9.2 pro he can log on but then he has logged on there only come a console. The desktop wil not load! I am not sure what desktop he are running.
The problem come after he was updating suse. And now the desktop will not load.

Is there a command to load the desktop or what els can he do to fix it?

Have you checked the runlevel?
As root

Code:

# runlevel

will give you what runlevel you're in... In Suse that should be 5. The output schould be something like

Code:

# runlevel
N 5

If you get any other number than 5 you can try

Code:

# init 5

if that doesn't work run.

Code:

# init 3; SaX2

which will let you reconfigure X with the Suse tool.

hope that helps
