Re: just installed Kubuntu 6.10 how do i get a gui
i'm quite new to linux too, but have been playing with it for a while, so if i'm wrong, don't make a big deal out of it and please correct me.
When i do not get a gui after a fresh intall, i always try the combination ctrl - alt - f7 or ctrl - alt - f8. that is when you already of X running. If X is not running, then type startx at the command prompt. This should get at least the gui login screen up.
hope this help -
Re: just installed Kubuntu 6.10 how do i get a gui
yes, startx should work. If not, something in your Xorg.conf could be wrong.
at the prompt type :-
Code:Sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
that will prompt you to go throug all your video stuff, and enable you to configure it to a working state.Comment
