trapped in failsafe mode
accidently, i restarted my notebook in "failsafe suse 10.1" or "secure mode" or what it is called in english, instead for "windows", the option i was heading for. now the machine exclusively starts into failsafe mode, with "startx" i can run a graphical interface, but i can not restart from there, all i can do is to end the session. but that is not enough, of course, i need to have windows. additionally i have to push the "off"-button everytime i want to turn off the computer. right now i am in the mountains, not having any significant internet access. would be great if someone could help me... how do i restart to give me the options i had before?
thank you very much & regards ungua |
Do:
cat /etc/inittab | grep initdefault If the result is: id:5:initdefault: Then you should be fine. If it is: id:3:initdefault: Do sudo vi /etc/inittab Press i to change to insert mode, and change the 3 to a 5 on the line above. Press "Esc" to get out of Edit Mode, then hold shift and press ZZ. Reboot and you should be good |
thank you for your answer! the same night i found that "suspend -f" would do just as fine. :)
