[TUT] How to automatically startx / GUI in Backtrack 4. - Mark - 03-10-2010

This is a quick tutorial on how to enable the graphical user interface (GUI) in Backtrack 4 automatically when you boot your computer. Also known as starting x or start x.

I've done this on a hard drive install and it worked flawlessly.

1) Log in to Backtrack 4, launch the terminal and type the following:

Code:
nano /root/.bash_profile

You'll be presented with a document on screen, enter the following code:

Code:
startx

Then Ctrl + O to write out / save it.
Then Ctrl + x to exit.

Now, every time you reboot that GUI will be automatically started.

Once you've done this, just reboot and now when you log in the KDE interface (GUI) should have automatically started. :happy
