Booting into command line or GUI
15Dec07
One of the machines on which I’ve installed Fedora boots directly into the GUI, the other into the command line. On the latter, I have to type startx before I get to the GUI, which is inconvenient. The reason it has defaulted to this arrangement is that I had to use the text-based installer to get Linux up and running because it didn’t have the correct driver for the graphics card (which has subsequently been installed separately).
So how should I fix this, making Fedora boot straight into the GUI? The answer is in the /etc/inittab file, where I simply change the default runlevel to 5 (from 3).
