Your who -r output says the last runlevel was S (the capital letter), not 5 (the numeral). Per "man 8 init": Runlevel S is not really meant to be used directly, but more for the scripts that are executed when entering runlevel 1. For more information on this, see the manpages for shutdown(8) and inittab(5). When the system is in runlevel S, it hasn't fully booted. X just hasn't been started yet at that point. -- Dave Sherohman -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
