im so lost how to get it to work, help!
Are you in a graphics mode when you type
startx? That only works from a text terminal.
One way to get there is to type
Ctrl-Alt-F1, log in as
root, then type
init 3 After that you should be able to use
startxBy the way - if you haven't created a normal user - you should. The
root login should be used for system administrative functions only. This is to prevent account hijacking by malicious software.
