ianw1974 Posted May 6, 2005 Report Share Posted May 6, 2005 (edited) This sounds to me like the graphics wasn't configured during setup, and so X wasn't installed, and which is why you can't get into KDE. You would still be able to login to the system with your username or the root user from the CLI prompt. If you're new to Linux, then best thing would be go through the install again (don't upgrade - new install), and then when you come to one of the screens listing config for screen, network, etc, etc, check that the graphics is marked as configured, and not configured. My laptop does this on install, so I have to ensure it's configured for everything to work straight after install. On reinstall, make sure that LILO is installed in the MBR and nowhere else. Did Linux detect your video card OK? Edited May 6, 2005 by ianw1974 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
