:: connexion to graphic interface ::

hello,


I have just installed mandrake 10.1, when it starts it posts me the following message:

" Mandrakelinux release 10.1 (community) for i586
Kernel 2.6.8.1-10mdk on an i686/tty1
localhost login:
"

please help me to solve this probléme because until now I do not have connect to the graphic interface.

And I am beginner one linux.

Thank you

you should login, and then run

Code:

---

startx

---

if that works edit your /etc/inittab and change the line that reads

Code:

---

id:3:initdefault:

---

to

Code:

---

id:5:initdefault:

---

If it doesn't work, post the error you get here.

Try configuring the Mandrake X configuration program

Code:

---

drakexcfg

---

I think the command is, but I'm not sure, I'm sure somone will correct me if I'm wrong ;)

i have this message error:

-bash: drakexcfg: command not found.

Try

Code:

---

xdrake

---

if that doesn't work try

Code:

---

drakconf

---

and go to the display configuration bit ;)

xdrake is bad command.

when à try with drakconf, it post me the control center and aske me to choose one element of the list:

- Boot loader
- clavier (keyboard)
- Display
- Firewal
- Automatic installation
- network & internet
- partitions
- mouse
- users and groups

I choose "display" and it aske me the first CD of installation, i did it

but whene i robot i have the same problem. lol

Try and boot the cd (makeing sure the cd is higher than the hard drive in the BIOS) and selecting repair.

Somthing has gone belly up on your instalation, though since this is the Community edition, which is a beta relese you might consider upgrading to official or Mandriva 2005LE even.

ok

thanks a lot :)

I use Acer TravelMate 230 but because my monitor break down I use external monitor of Compaq 710 and Linux detects my external monitor. I don't understand why my monitor works fine during Linux installation but it can not boot to user interface.

What can I do to solve this problem, I really want to use Linux and I try many distributions but it happends the same. Maybe because of my hardware or drivers I don't understand but when I install MS Windows it works fine.
