If you can do it while logging in as root, then use "su - your-username" while in console, then try startx as your normal user and see if you can login. If so, then that works OK. Maybe try rebooting again and instead of putting a 3 there, just keep it as it, and delete the rhgb part and then let it boot. You might also try removing some of your services that you don't need and boot up that way and see if one of those is doing it. If you don't know how, while booted into run level 3 as you are currently doing, you can run "chkconfig --level 35 service-name off" and then you can boot up. Hope this helps, -- Mike Chambers Madisonville, KY "Best little town on Earth!" -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Great news! I disabled every service under run level 5 and it boots up flawlessly!! I just need to know what basic set of services I should start adding.
