seraph741 Posted August 19, 2006 Report Share Posted August 19, 2006 I have been running Mandriva for about a week now, and all of a sudden, I try booting today and it goes into a Command Line only? Where is KDE? I recently installed ATI drivers, but i have rebooted after that and it worked. What's going on? Is there a file somewhere that I need to change to get it into the KDE environment? TIA, i really need some help, i'm new! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arctic Posted August 19, 2006 Report Share Posted August 19, 2006 At the command prompt, log in as root. Type root and enter the root password. Now type XFdrake and set up your graphic card again. Once this is done, log out as root ("exit"), log in as normal user and test with startx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seraph741 Posted August 19, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2006 thank!, i will try that, but i ran startx before tryingto reconfigure my video card. I get this error: Unidentified Monitor aticonfig-Monitor[0] Fatal Server Error: no screen found so, it was the drivers i installed. I looked at the xorg.conf file to see whats up, and ati is in a bunch of places so i don't know what to change. i will try your method, thanks, and if any1 else has any tips, it would be really appreciated.
