I have installed the latest version of Arch linux and it boots to the grub menu where i select arch linux.
It then proceeds to boot fine then goes to a command line. I log in as root but how do i start the GUI?
Thanks

Firstly install X.

pacman -S xorg

To install KDE:

pacman -S kde

For GNOME:


pacman -S gnome



startx
Will start X (GUI) if you have it installed.

I suspect if you have to ask, Arch probably isn't for you. Try Ubuntu or OpenSuse instead.
