My graphical boot (rhgb) has somehow gone awry. Instead of either the
image of the workstation or the window showing the boot messages, all I
get is a black screen with the X-Windows "X" cursor in the center. It's
like the graphical boot program has lost a configuration file and it
doen't know what to display. My attempts to troubleshoot the problem
have run into a sort of brick wall. There does not seem to be much
information on rhgb available. Can someone offer a suggestion as to what
I might have done or how I might find out what I've done?
Look in the file : /etc/inittab
If the line beginning with "x" ends with : /etc/X11/prefdm
Then look in that file to see what configuration files are used to determine what is supposed to start.
The problem may be a file has had its privileges changed and is no longer readable, or a program name has changed during an "upgrade".
Me too had same problem when with FC1 when i tried to upgarde the gnome from 2.4 to 2.6 from tgz files .
In my case i have damange the Display mangeer setting GDM so i was not
geting regular
rhgb prg output .
so i had tried my luck as i have alter the line in inittab as
"x:5:respawn:kill -9 39;kdm "
Yikes! That is quite the presumption.
as my rhgb was havin process id of 39 at boot sequcence and i have used kdm instead of gdm as i was having problem with GDM
so morle of story is check you DM diskplay manager setting (KDM, GDM )
The proper way to switch your GUI, is to edit :
/etc/sysconfig/desktop
change it to : ---cut--- DESKTOP="KDE" DISPLAYMANAGER=KDE ---end---
Good luck.
