shihchiun Posted April 25, 2004 Share Posted April 25, 2004 i installed fedora, everything seems to have gone well. i reboot, and choose fedora (which oddly is the only choice) and it starts up. then i get a prompt to login. not the graphical one like in red hat, but a command line one. what am i supposed to do here?

eevoo Posted April 25, 2004 Share Posted April 25, 2004 Log in like you normaly would, once in type startx and you'll be in more familiar territory. In /etc/inittab look for id:3:initdefault: and change it to id:5:initdefault: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shihchiun Posted April 25, 2004 Author Share Posted April 25, 2004 hmm, thanks. i'll have to try this later. i wish it would have said this somewhere on the site though.. it would have saved me a lot of aggravation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eevoo Posted April 26, 2004 Share Posted April 26, 2004 Usually it should boot up in runlevel 5, there maybe something wrong with your X config,check it, as bolerodan said, before you try to run it, or it will just give you errors. If it gives you any errors during startup dealing with X it would cause it to drop into runlevel 3. You'll have to run configX or Xconfig, I think it is, to config it right from the terminal.

markwolfe Veteran Posted April 26, 2004 Veteran Share Posted April 26, 2004 Redhat is a little funny in how they do some of these things... There is redhat-config-xfree86[/green] in RedHat and Fedora. I am not sure if they even have a full "text only" xf86config app.... :unsure: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
