7.10 restarts in terminal

"kinit: No resume image, doing normal boot...." is not abnormal. It just says "no hibernation file, let's go for a normal boot".

Gutsy should give you a failsafe graphical inteface, that's really weird

IF you try a "sudo gdm", what's happening?

'sudo gdm' gives me:

gdm[6663]: WARNING: GDM already running. Aborting!
GDM already running. Aborting!

Thanks for your help.

I tried 'sudo gdm' again, and the screen blinked two or three times and then returned to the terminal prompt. Trying 'sudo gdm' shortly after returns the 'already running' message.

If I try 'sudo gdmsetup' I get the error:

(gdmsetup:6674): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:

I looked for this error on the gnome website and I found a similar error solved by:

"The DISPLAY envorinment variable in ~root/.profile was being set to `/bin/uname -n`:0.0 , which was causing the .xsession errors when trying to login as root in GUI. I have removed the line after which i am able to login as root in GUI. "

this is here: http://gnomesupport.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=12946

However, my .profile file doesn't seem to read the same as above.

Try
sudo /etc/init.d/gmd restart

HTH

sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart

* Stopping GNOME Display Manager... [OK]

* Starting GNOME Display Manager... [OK]

The screen blinks three times as before and returns to the terminal.

Whenever I try to launch anything graphical from the terminal I get the response:

Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:

and sometimes this is followed by:

xterm Xt error: Can't open display:
xterm: DISPLAY is not set

Success!

Thanks a million elart.it.
