Boot problem

**neo_vi** · 09-08-2008

In grub its showing
Suse
Suse linux (XE)
windows
Suse linux (Fail safe mode)

When i try to boot linux with any of the options above, i'm getting only the terminal. I can't see a GUI.
There were no fatal errors during Boot.
I tried ctrl+alt+F1, It doesn't solve the problem.
How can i fix it?

Execute startx command and post exact error message here, if any.

Sorry ! My mistake.
Its startx not statx.

Code:

startx

**neo_vi** · 09-09-2008

Result of the startx command

Code:

tee: /root/.X.err :Read only file system.
There is no link  /var/X11R6/bin/X to the correct X server binary.
Please configure the correct X server with SaX/SaX2, which will create the missing link. I'm aborting now.

what shud i do?

Execute this

Code:

sax2

Reconfigure display settings. Execute startx command again.
In case it doesn't work, post the output of this

Code:

/sbin/lspci | grep -i vga

sax2

Code:

/usr/sbin/sax.sh line 355 /var/log/sax/log :No such file or directory
Sax: initializing please wait 
sax: your current configuration will not be read in.
sax: no X-server is running
sax: will start own server if needed

Were you logged in as root before running sax2??

If you were it looks like the install was not complete.

How much space did you allow Suse to have on the hard drive??

**devils casper** · 09-10-2008

Post the output of df -h command here.

Code:

df -h
