Guest anon Posted May 26, 2005 Report Share Posted May 26, 2005 After it boots, login with your user name and password then type: startx Post the error messages if that doesn't work. If it does work then go to the boot menu in MCC and see if the "start gui at boot" has become unchecked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AussieJohn Posted May 26, 2005 Report Share Posted May 26, 2005 I think your video driver has been corrupted and you will have to reinstall it. You may have other funny little surprises to come. This could have been the result of a quick power interruption, one which was not long enough to shut down your computer but long enough to cause problems. That is why I have used a UPS since the first day I started with computers. I regard it as a fundamental piece of my computer and NOT as a nice optional device. Reinstalling the video driver should get you through and it is not hard to do. Cheers. John. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarecrow Posted May 26, 2005 Report Share Posted May 26, 2005 Strange that it can't load a default font... anyway, do an URPMI sources refresh, and then urpmi xorg-X11-75dpi-fonts xorg-X11-100dpi-fonts After that run "mcc" and it's X configurator again, and if the test works, "startx".
