I installed Mandrake 10.1 three or four times trying to get it work this past hour. As always, it comes UP with a black command prompt telling me to login and password etc... I want to get straight to the KDE Desktop! What do I do?

Okay.
login and type startx, and see what happens.

**scopexg5** · 01-31-2005

yes i've tried that. It gives me some kind of X.org error.

i've also tried - not configuring the graphical settings in the setup. It also gives me an error when I try startx.

Can you post the exact error message?

**scopexg5** · 01-31-2005

execve failed for /etc/xll/x (errno2) giving up
xinit : no such file or directory (errno2) : unable to connect to X Server
xinit : no such process (errno3): server error

Did you install the full X during installation, and did you configure it? Have you tried running drakxconf?

**scopexg5** · 02-01-2005

I don't think it prompted me with install or any settings for X.....can you post a tutorial? And how do I run drakxconf

**lakerdonald** · 02-01-2005

Login to CLI (Command Line) as root and type:

Code:

drakxconf

**scopexg5** · 02-01-2005

OK, now I'm in the drakxconf with a couple settings to ocnfigure like Auto Install...etc. Now what Do I do?

Well try to configure the X Server by choosing the Hardware etc. That's right for you. or if you want something even more straightforward, you can try running:

Code:

xorgconfig
