I think I will just login and issue startx. Enough is enough.
Ken, I've always booted into runlevel 3. Most days I run startx (which points to startxfce4), but there are times when I want to check mail or do something else with a text file/application so I use consoles. My friend (whose portable I maintain) was using the GUI login for years, but the upgrade to Slackware-14.2's next-to-most-recent kernel seemed to break that. Rather than futz with it I set her up as a sudouser. Now after logging in she runs startx (which she did a few systems/distributions ago), and can shut down the system without logging in as root. Works for both of us. Glad you're back to your real life, Rich _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list PLUG@pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
