Spirit_Artist_9676 : 03/12/05 02:30 PM : Incident created -   I have installed Discovery 2006 it goes through startup and ends with.... Mandriva Linux release 2006.0 (Official) for i586 Kernel 2.6 .12-12mdk on an i686 / tty1 Localhost login: The only time I can actually get to the desktop is if I put in the Live Disc. How do I get it to run properly via the desktop? Thanks....

At the prompt ( Localhost login: ), login as 'root' and type 'XFdrake' to reconfigure X (XFdrake is case sensitive). Once X is configured, reboot the system. ----------- Note: If this answer resolves your problem, please remember to close this incident.

At "localhost login:" prompt, log in with your standard username and password. then type : startx to start graphical interface. You can change the default runlevel by editing /etc/inittab file : become root : su - enter your root password when required. then open the /etc/inittab file with vi for example and change the following line : id:3:initdefault: to : id:5:initdefault: and save the file After reboot, you will go directly to the graphical interface. Nota : If you have choosen paranoid level of security, graphical interface will not start. you can change level of security with msec : as root, type : msec 3
