Any ideas out there? We need more info.
'grub' is a name of the boot loader and is a name of the program in /usr/sbin/grub that updates the boot loader. 'gnome' is a desktop environment that normally uses gdm, gnome themes and sawfish, or metacity window managers. What I think you are saying is that you used to be able to login to the gnome desktop with gdm, but now your x window system is not working and your system is only showing a console login (a black screen). If this is the case, you need to reconfigure X window and this will fix the issue. If any of this is wrong, please explain how. -- | .''`. == Debian GNU/Linux == | my web site: | | : :' : The Universal |mysite.verizon.net/kevin.mark/| | `. `' Operating System | go to counter.li.org and | | `- http://www.debian.org/ | be counted! #238656 | | my keyserver: subkeys.pgp.net | my NPO: cfsg.org | |join the new debian-community.org to help Debian! | |_______ Unless I ask to be CCd, assume I am subscribed _______| -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
