You seem new to a command line environment, so I suggest starting the GUI by entering
startx
Also, I changed subject line, as it was of the type that people tend to ignore.

If you mean that you didn't finish the setup, such as setting keyboard, locale, etc then you need to run "raspi-config".

At a command line prompt type in sudo raspi-config
If the desktop is already running, then open LXTerminal to get a command line.

Interesting. I think the current one is on the "the type that people tend to ignore" list. One can only guess what it was before.

Care to share???

as memory serves it was something in the line of "I need help urgently".

true, this one isn't -much- better! :lol:

p.s. I looked it up, it actually was "I need help badly" :roll:

but with just two sentences to work with it was difficult to guess a better subject line.

Thanks for checking it for me.

You do what you can with what you've got.

I'm just the guy; I provide help badly.
