Hello, I am new to SliTaz. I just installed it and now when I go to boot up, (BTW I am using SliTaz 3.0) it takes me to a black screen where I can type in commands and login. So I enter my username and password. Then it takes me to another black screen that looks like a terminal and I type startx, when I do that it says a bunch of stuff I do not understand. It says things about the Display Variable being wrong or it cannot boot into it. It will not open anything. I cannot get to my desktop. What do I do?
Can't Boot

offlineKey MasterTo help us narrow it down, can you please answer the follow:
1. Can you write down the exact error message and post it here?
2. What kind of system are you using?
3. What type of video card does your system have?
4. Has this always happened with SliTaz or did the LiveCD work?Posted 13 years ago # -

offlineKey MasterIf the machine is connected to internet:
Login to console as root:
su
password: root
#tazx
Choose: Xorg Install or reconfigure Xorg
Choose: intel
tazx should download/install intel driver, then run X -configure which autoconfigures /etc/X11/xorg.confPosted 13 years ago # -

offlineKey MasterI think I see the problem. It detected the settings for the other computer, so it hasn't been setup for yours just yet. Luckily it just means we have to force it to detect your display again.
First thing we need to do is get rid of the xorg.conf your using:
1. After you log in type su, press enter/return and enter your root password.
2. Type rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf and press enter/return
And that should get rid of the old one so your system can detect the new settings.
Now let's try detecting your settings so the system is configured right before you reboot (still at the same screen):
3. Type /etc/init.d/hwconf.sh and press enter/return
This should run the same hardware detection you get when you boot your PC. Next we'll just make sure you have everything loaded that you might need:
4. Type tazhw detect-pci and press enter/return
5. Type tazhw detect-usb and press enter/return
6. Type tazhw detect-modules and press enter/return
And that should do it, now just restart your PC and see if it works.Posted 13 years ago # -
