Hi i have Fedora Core 6 installed on my macbook core duo 1.83ghz with 1 gb of ram via parallels. the problem is when i try to boot into fedora instead of going into the desktop for some strange reason it keeps booting into the command line. also are parallels tools avaliable for linux? i ask because the screen is all screwed up when i boot into linux i get the scroll bars and half of the page is missing so in order to see anything i have to remove the mouse from the window and then use the bars to fix the window but then i can't see anything else thats going on in the screen. anyone know whats going on?
Did you send request to Parallels Support Team on http://www.parallels.com/support/request/ They will help you to solve this problem.
Dammit, I had this and managed to fix it. Same issue - was booting into command prompt and running the GUI just came up with an error. I looked up the error and found out I had to run a del command and then it worked. When you type "startx" what error message do you get? If you do, google it and you'll find the del command you need to run to make it work. That worked for me. Wish I'd documented it now - sorry.
so startx boots into the gui? i am new to linux so im trying to learn all i can. i did get an error message saying that it couldn't find the install on the virtual hd when it was first booting up.
startx I experianced this problem too. When I logged in and entered the startx command it threw an error wanting me to delete a hidden file named .X0-lock in /tmp. Once I did this Fedora booted into gnome without issue. If you're new to Linux just login as root and type this: cd /tmp rm .X0-lock startx That's it!
