Comments/Problems:
I can't mount a cd as you can see later in
.bash_history.
Sarge now comes up with gui login. Root is the only
user which gets the system going.
When I get bash by Ctrl-Alt-F5/F1 or F7 and login I
can't see a gui. Startx gives Server Error ...
remove /tmp/.X0-lock.
At root I tried init 3, got nothing. The init 5, still
nothing.
At bash I tried startx -- :1 and got a hang that said
"waiting for server..."
Google found some help but most of it was just idle
chatter like remove /tmp/.X0-lock
instead of specific instructions.
Can you tell me the keystrokes to cure the problem?
Thanks,
The machine is worthless as root only
without a user gui to connect to the Internet.
I can get on the Internet as root but via cabel only
not via ppp.
To send this I have to boot on Knoppix. If there is a
tar command
to write what I have to my DVDwriter and commands to
reload this
and fix it, I would like to know what to do. This is
my first
Debian install although I have been through Knoppix
3.2 to 3.6 for
over a year.
Disk 1-5 of the latest Sarge were downloaded and
burned. They wouldn't boot so booted with month old
Sarge 100 MB
net install disk then used Disk 1 to 4 as instructed.
Maybe I did something wrong in or after install. Here
