Greets;
How do I set SuSE to boot into run level 5 (init 5). I should know this but its been a while..:)
Actually Im wrong. Checking the logs the system does boot into run level 5 whoever kdm does not appear to be started as the boot sequence ends in a terminal session. Providing the standard startx then starts a kde session.
Not sure how to correct this as there must be a missing link to something somewhere..:) Any clues would be appreciated.
The clues should be found in /var/log/kdm.log
/var/log/Xorg.0.log
Would be my first stop, as the major source of issues resulting in no graphical display.
My guess is that on an upgrade YaST doesn't modify /etc/X11.xorg.conf, hence there is no appropriate config for the X server to work with. Need to use the sax tool to configure for the hardware, i.e.
# init 3 # sax
Do the config.
# init 5
Except he said startx was working, so the X config should be fine. The problem will likely be localized to kdm
"whoever kdm does not appear to be started as the boot sequence ends in a terminal session" Hmm. I read this as meaning he had a vt console after the boot sequence ended, but when you follow it with this sentence: "Providing the standard startx then starts a kde session." I now realise that I'm not sure what his symptoms actually are. So, following that moment of nirvana, I'll just shut up :-) -- Steve Boddy
