Re: [PLUG] Some how my system boots into text mode

I might add to that, if gdm is what you have installed for a display manager, try this as well: # systemctl unmask gdm.service # systemctl enable gdm.service # systemctl start gdm.service And then also post back to the list this if it's still not working: # systemctl status gdm.service --

you could try uninstalling and purging GDM if that doesn't want to uninstall too many other important things, then reinstall. Or, leave GDM installed, install LightDM, and enable and default it if not On Thu, May 31, 2018 at 11:14 AM, carl day wrote: > Not running fedora26, mine is arch. > Is

Johnathan, Rich, Thomas, Thanks for the replies. I added an isolated "5" to the grub.cfg. Rebooted. No effect. I think I will just login and issue startx. Enough is enough. Thanks for the suggestions. Regards to all, Ken On Wed, May 30, 2018 at 6:17 PM, Rich Shepard wrote: > On Wed, 30

While it is always nice to know why and understand things properly - time has value too. Wouldn't it be faster to reinstall the box and call it a day? If you back up /etc and /usr/lib/...systemd - diff might point to the cause later. -T On Wed, May 30, 2018, 5:01 PM Ken Stephens wrote: >

Rich, Ben, Johnathan, Rich, No active inittab. Inittab is not used on a systemd system. It did have a note on how to set "runlevels". #systemctl get-default graphical.target Which is what I want to get. But, it does not get me there. Ben, Reinstalled gdm. Rebooted. Still comes up in a

Re: [PLUG] Some how my system boots into text mode

Ken, What happens when you 'sudo /sbin/init 5' in order to get to graphical multi-user mode? Ben, I disagree about GRUB. The line that loads the kernel can have a run level value assigned. I have a unit in the lab that I boot to multi-user command line by adding a literal 3 to the kernel. If

Re: [PLUG] Some how my system boots into text mode

Ken, First of all, GRUB doesn't have any say in "booting a graphical login mode". The most grub can do is set the framebuffer and KMS settings, and even then X can override and set its own display settings. - Leave GRUB alone. You run the risk of breaking your boot for no reason. Second. The

Are you sure you didn't change GRUB to enter run level 3? Check your grub.conf file (or whatever it is called), and check for a solo "3" and change it to a "5", which is the run level for UI. On Wed, May 30, 2018 at 11:01 AM, Ken Stephens wrote: > Ali, > > Thanks, but there is no

I am puzzled. Ages ago I did something to stop my Fedora 26 system from booting into graphical login mode. I wish I could remember or identify what I did, but age and time have intervened. #systemctl status default.target ● graphical.target - Graphical Interface Loaded: loaded
