    Return to GUI

    i do Ctrl-alt-F1 and get to cmd line login on black screen. i log in and get to command prompt rocky@ray~$. Ctrl-alt-F7 will return me the GUI as it should. However, is there not a command that will do it, eg, startx? Startx gives me an error that "Server is already active for Display 0".

    so what cmd will do the equivalent of Ctrl-Alt-F7 when a cmd line is present. and of course, i want to do this off line
