maxgravitt Posted August 6, 2004 Report Share Posted August 6, 2004 When I boot into Mandrake 10, it does not boot all the way into KDE as it used to. Instead, I get a blue background for 3 quadrants of the monitor and the bottom right quadrant is a command prompt. I am able to enter commands into the command prompt, but I am unable to start KDE from here. I was even able to run Unreal Tournament from this command prompt and it worked fine, so I don't think it is a fundamental problem with my graphics card or monitor, etc. Has anyone seen this issue and/or have any advice for its resolution? thanks in advance!!

arctic Posted August 6, 2004 Report Share Posted August 6, 2004 try the following: log in as root, then run "XFdrake" and set up your display-mode. it seems as if your gui got disabled somehow. then reboot, maybe it works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then, I clicked "Test" and I saw the colored background fine. However, when I logout and reboot, I still get the same problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If no, have you tried another user? root? have you from init 3 mv -f ~/.kde ~./kdeOLD and tried? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
