Hi,

when I boot linux I get log in screen asking password username

if it takes you to GUI login screen, means your initab file is properly configured, as for as you are unable to login in GUI, you better first check whether X process is running by:

Code: Select all

#ps -ef | grep X 

if it is running & you are still unable to login then first kill this process and try to reconfigure your X settings, by:

Code: Select all

 #system-config-display

you can try different resolutions, or hardware in this wizard.

Cheers
