Hello, I have 2 RedHat 7.0 installations, the first is a Deluxe Workstation installation and currently I am in the process of installing the standard edition. The problem that I have encountered is after I have installed all of the software and the machine is in the process of booting, it stops at the command login and attempts to start the graphically login, the screen flickers several times and then I receive the following error.. According to /var/run/gdm.pid, gdm was already running (949), but seems to have been murdered mysteriously. During the Deluxe workstation installation I has able to get around the error by reinstalling and not selecting KDE. This does not fix the problem with the standard edition installation. Your help is appreciated, John Meier - john Web Programmer/Analyst Spectra Grafx Studios - (712) 255-6007 http://www.SpectraGrafx.com
I was able to get around the bug by performing a custom installation, when I got to the "X Configuration" Screen, do MOT select the "Customize X Configuration" or the "Use Graphical Login" item. After the installation has completed and the machine boots to the Console Login, I changed to a Graphical Login (Page 384, Redhat Getting Started Guide) by editing the /etc/inittab file and bumping up the run level from 3 to 5 by changing the following line id:3:initdefault to id:5:initdefault Rebooted the machine and everything worked fine.
