Question About Linux Command????????????

[pcmasterx]

What is the command that you type from the terminal of linux that allows you to boot into graphical linux?

[mairving]

Usually it is startx.

[obdulio]

To start the graphical interface from commando line: startx

To boot in graphical mode, edit the file /etc/inittab and change the line which says:
initdefault:3:
to
initdefault:5:

Hope that helps.

Most of the time that is true but not all of the time. In the version of slackware (7.1) that I am running, run level 4 is X11, run level 5 is not used so it defaults to run level 3 which is the default mode. Also to me it is nearly always better to start in non-graphical mode in case of problems with X.

u really should get a friend that'll be able to help u with this sort of stuff. try getting caim working (command-line aim) and gaim once u have X working right.
i also second the motion to boot into text-mode and then start X once u'r in.
