Hi.

Did you install a desktop (GUI) as part of the installation? Normally, when you do (as part of a manual installation, at least), the default run level is set to 5 ("X11").

You can change the default run level manually in /etc/inittab (from 3 to 5) but, of course, that only makes sense if you did install a desktop.

A simple way to find out if you installed a desktop (short of looking in ~/anaconda-ks.cfg) is to type init 5 . If that starts the GUI, you're quids in, otherwise you'll need to install some additional packages.

Hi

Please tell us which mode you had completed your installation (text / GUI mode) and which option you had choose in installation time like desktop, server, cluster etc. I believe you were missed GUI dependency package in installation time. Please try to update default run-level with 5 in /etc/inittab file or in command promt try to run

startx

command.

Thank you
