ChrisM Posted November 13, 2004 Report Share Posted November 13, 2004 (edited) Don't know why, but this evening I've noticed that PC isn't booting into graphical interface. I get to a screen where i have to input username and pswd and then the command startx. When I logout I then get to a user command line, in which I have to [su] shutdown -r now (or shutdown -h now) How do I get back to a graphical boot up/shut down. In MCC Boot theme is set at graphical Bootlaoder is LILO with graphical menu Monitor is recognised screen res is set at 1024x768 Any ideas, any thoughts why this might have occured anyway - I've not been amending any settings. EDIT: MCC>AUTOLOGIN>launch the graphical environment when your system starts This is very first time I've been in here. Still no idea why I lost X in the first place.

arctic Posted November 14, 2004 Report Share Posted November 14, 2004 next time: run XFdrake to set up your gui, edit the /etc/inittab. change the display mode from init3 (text mode) to init5 (gui). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
