It is now behaving differently. Previously it failed to load the X windows environment, gave the error message and switched to the text login screen where I could log into linux. Now I can't seem to break into the loop! Previous Log file attached. Any suggestions how I break into the loop? It's merrily looping as I write this note! Roger Harden Yikes. Is it doing exactly the same thing as it was before you added that line? Or was it behaving differently? It might be useful to see the log file again :) On Thursday 30 January 2003 5:21 pm, Roger Harden wrote: > John Tapsell - thanks for your reply.
