I'm stuck again. Booting Up.

(1/2) > >>

tickmike:
With the problems with my monitor last night, I changed PCLos to boot in 'Grub with Text menu'
it's booted to a screen:
[my name@localhost ~]$
 :'(
How do I get to the normal GUI ? (screen)

roseway:
After logging on in the text screen, try typing 'startx'.

tickmike:
Thanks Eric,
Did that, looks like I may have problems after the monitor going last night as it took out my 13 A Ring Main power, Could it have corrupted the distro ? I get :
Fatal server error.
no screens found X10: fatal error 10 104.

Re-install ?

roseway:
Reinstalling is the easy option, but it's certainly possible to repair a broken system. I don't have a PCLinuxOS system to check at the moment, but maybe the installation disk has a 'repair' option?

Floydoid:
I'm pretty sure if you boot up with the PCLOS CD there's a repair option.
