Raspberry Pi Forums

Hi guys, I'm so pleased with myself I've got the pi up and running. Evetually got it on the internet with help here. Solved the problem of the repeating keyboard keys, this was acomplished by putting the keyboard usb wireless adaptor in the pi board slot. I'm actually posting this with the Pi.

I'm now stuck on a little problem of my own making. When first starting this, the latest distro of wheezy on the initial cofig screen, I clicked for it to boot straight into the gui, this means, I'm booting straight into the root account, ie: the raspberrypi account. What I want to do is boot into, I think it's called the console, so I can choose the user. Any help would be great, as I can't seem to find the answer here, that might be just my bad searching skills.

Hi guys, I found the answer to this little problem. To boot straight into the the shell, so you can put in the login name and password, then type startx, to start the gui.

You start the intial config script:

run the root terminal and type in:
cd /

then:

/usr/bin/raspi-config


this will start the script so you can change the bootup and other things.

I have now to work out how to switch from the pi user to the ones I make. Oh well!
