Starting the Xserver automatically

While playing around, I noticed that the /etc/inittab is missing.

The reason for that is that Ubuntu is using Upstart instead of the Sys-V Init.

In order to change the default runlevel you have to:

Thanks a lot KM. Just to say that this has worked fine for me, but I used "nano" instead of "vi", in case it helps anyone. Of course this saves having to mess about with the sudoers file in wich I'm quite lost at the moment. I'll have to get at that some day.

Well if people can't figure out that it doesn't depend on the editor I think this guide can't help them anymore either

I think I've done something wrong, cause now the steps on what to do have gone. And there's my thanks wich don't help much. How do I fix it?

[KMDave]

Well how did you install it? On the hard drive, usb stick?

What have you done in the meantime?

Hi, this time I copied bt4 to my hdd. I used to have bt3 beta because of the gui installer and a little help of ubuntus' grub menu. Also had bt3 final, on usb.

Did you apply any changes? Did you run an apt-get?

Hi there, my 2nd reply in this thread must was a bit confusing, as I thought I'd messed the tut up. I'm doing OK this time, adding some apps, vuze, and amarok basically, and they're working. As long as I don't upgrade, cause that crashes kdm, as you pointed out.

It is not directly breaking it, there has been a note on how to fix the issue with the apt-get update by muts, might just look for the link and put it into my first post.

Hi, I've been customizing my bt4 hdd install, and appart from minor contrarities it has been OK 'till just now. I don't know if it's to do with this being a beta or the way I installed it. Anyway my problem is that I now get these two messages, and can't startup.
"Could not start kstartupconfig. Check your installation." I press OK and it shows this,
"Call to lnusertemp failed (temporary directories full?). Check your installation.
How do I go about this one? I'm still very basic, so any help will be appreciated.
