You will need to give the list more information....<br>
<br>
1. "Sabayon Live CD" is ambiguous according to the download page:<br>
<a href="http://www.sabayon.org/download/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://www.sabayon.org/downloa<wbr>d/</a><br>
"There are many different Sabayon variants"<br>
<br>
So What exactly did you install?<br>
<br>
2. What have you tried? What update? What upgrade?<br>
Have you used Ctrl-Alt-F1 ? Do you get a login prompt?<br>
What specific video card do you have any why would you think that's relevant?<br>
What does "cannot get back to my desktop" mean? Do you not get a login prompt?<br>
Or do you just not get a graphical environment?<br>
What clues do you get from the dmesg command?<br>
What is in /var/log? Especially /var/log/Xorg.0.log.<br>
(less /var/log/Xorg.0.log)<br>
What does lsmod say? (It lists the loaded kernel modules)<br>
uname -a ?<br>
<br>
3. Sabayon is Gentoo based<br>
So not the most common of environments. A large percentage of repos are either rpm or deb based.<br>
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.<br>
<br>
With that said, post more details and you'll get more help!<br>
<br>
<br>
Looks like sabayon uses lightdm and systemd. linux 4.9.0.<br>
I downloaded the server iso and booted it up. Looks pretty normal...<br>
Let us know your specific issues.<br>

I am new to Linux.<br>
I have installed Sabayon live CD to my hard drive with an accurate checksum.<br>
I did the update and the upgrade and cannot get back to my desktop.<br>
I have an ATI Radeon GPU.<br>
I have spent a lot of time researching the forum and just cannot find a solution.<br>
I hope someone can help me out.<br>
Sincerely,<br>
