[Din_1]

i am installed 11.23ver in my new blade server after installing i tried connect to GUI mode from local windows PC but i am getting the below error

The desktop messaging system could not be started

To correct the problem:
1. Choose {ok} to return to the login screen

2. Sellect failsafe from login screens optin menu and log in

3. Check to see that the desktop is properly installed, the hostname is correct (etc/hosts) and that the network is poroperly configured

Pls any help in to resolce the issue

Hi Din,

Try to use an ssh or a telnet to login to the box.

Check if the hostname and IP-address are correctly configured.

# nslookup ip-of-host
# nslookup host-name
check the following file
/etc/hosts
/etc/nswitch.conf
/etc/resolv.conf

everything i tried but i cannot login through GUI

[Robert-Jan Goossens]

With what user are you trying to login (root)?

Is this user allowed to login directly? (sshd.config or /etc/securetty)
