Operating Systems Linux ArchLinux - GUI (DE) set to boot up Post 302481170 by Corona688 on Thursday 16th of December 2010 11:59:03 PM

Well, does it even have one installed? Linux doesn't operate in "console mode" or "window mode", a GUI's just a program like any other -- it's quite possible you didn't install one.

Or maybe you meant that you have one, but it doesn't autostart. Hard to tell from your question, but since you say you're new, I'm guessing not.

Google suggests this. They're actually doing the opposite but it shows how Arch does it -- init 5 for GUI, init 3 for console

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

NAME
Tk_InitConsoleChannels - Install the console channels as standard channels SYNOPSIS
#include <tk.h> Tk_InitConsoleChannels(interp) ARGUMENTS
Tcl_Interp *interp (in) Interpreter in which the console channels are created. _________________________________________________________________ DESCRIPTION
Tk_InitConsoleChannels is invoked to create a set of console channels and install them as the standard channels. All I/O on these channels will be discarded until Tk_CreateConsoleWindow is called to attach the console to a text widget. This function is for use by shell applications based on Tk, like wish, on platforms which have no standard channels in graphical mode, like Win32. The interp argument is the interpreter in which to create and install the console channels. NOTE: If this function is used it has to be called before the first call to Tcl_RegisterChannel, directly, or indirectly through other channel functions. Because otherwise the standard channels will be already initialized to the system defaults, which will be nonsensical for the case Tk_InitConsoleChannels is for. SEE ALSO
