Hello people,
recently I've been trying to get on to the net using an adsl usb modem.
This may be relevant because of course config files get altered. But
everything was going swimmingly (except not actually being able to get
on the net with the modem!) when I rebooted from windows to try out some
new bits of information and the nvidia splash screen kept popping up.
So I said to myself, go back to the old nvidia config without Open gl
and see hwat happens. So I got out he manula for Ltools and had a look
at the XF86config file and I had backed up the origianl file so canged
that around. However I still can't login, this time no splash screen
pops up but the monitor turns off and on and in between there is a
message on the prompt about null tty (but its so quick I can't read it
fast enough)
Now I know I can access the files with Ltools but I don't know what to
change)
Any ideas!
Try booting in single user mode, then run
system-config-display --reconfig
to fix your X setup. If you don't know how to boot in single user mode:
1. Select your kernel from the grub display and hit "e".
2. Scroll down to the line that starts with "kernel" and hit "e" again.
3. Add " single" to the end of the line (yes, a space, then the word
"single") and hit ENTER.
4. Hit "b" to boot.
The system will boot up to a "#" root command prompt. Run the
"system-config-display --reconfig" command at the "#" prompt. When
you're done, type in "exit" at the "#" prompt and the system should
reboot back to GUI mode.
