How to start in INIT5 after instalation with INIT3

RickMura · January 31, 2014, 6:14am

Hi all

In instalation process, I’ve choose init with level 3, but, when I try to run startx with a normal user I’ve a error message, running startx with root user it’s ok.

So, I would like to use startx or change xdm to kdm with INIT5.

How can I do any of 2 options?

Tks.

But, how can I change the INIT to automatic run kdm on boot process?

Tks.

This will return current target

systemctl get-default

Note: ‘runlevel3.target’ is a symbolic link to ‘multi-user.target’ and ‘runlevel5.target’ is a symbolic link to ‘graphical.target’

Set graphical.target as default with

systemctl set-default graphical.target

You may need to edit /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager to make sure kdm starts automatically

DISPLAYMANAGER="kdm"

You can also use YaST->System->Services Manager (even in text mode) to set the default target/runlevel.
