Danny, You will need to give the list more information.... 1. "Sabayon Live CD" is ambiguous according to the download page: http://www.sabayon.org/download/ "There are many different Sabayon variants" So What exactly did you install? 2. What have you tried? What update? What upgrade? Have you used Ctrl-Alt-F1 ? Do you get a login prompt? What specific video card do you have any why would you think that's relevant? What does "cannot get back to my desktop" mean? Do you not get a login prompt? Or do you just not get a graphical environment? What clues do you get from the dmesg command? What is in /var/log? Especially /var/log/Xorg.0.log. (less /var/log/Xorg.0.log) What does lsmod say? (It lists the loaded kernel modules) uname -a ? 3. Sabayon is Gentoo based So not the most common of environments. A large percentage of repos are either rpm or deb based. As a result, you might get much more useful help from the Sabayon forums than from a generic Linux forum. A gentoo forum might also be more helpful. With that said, post more details and you'll get more help! Looks like sabayon uses lightdm and systemd. linux 4.9.0. I downloaded the server iso and booted it up. Looks pretty normal... Let us know your specific issues. https://wiki.sabayon.org/index.php?title=HOWTO:_Get_AMD/ATI_or_Nvidia_Video_Cards_working_in_Sabayon Gerry On Sun, 25 Feb 2018, Danny Johnson wrote: > I am new to Linux. > I have installed Sabayon live CD to my hard drive with an accurate checksum. > I did the update and the upgrade and cannot get back to my desktop. > I have an ATI Radeon GPU. > I have spent a lot of time researching the forum and just cannot find a solution. > I hope someone can help me out. > Sincerely, > Danny J. > >
