Hi, We bought the debian potato Linux CD package, and installed it on a new IDE hard drive. There is error message came up during installing selected packages. The message is as below:
Errors were encountered while processing: /cdrom//dists/potato/main/binary-i386/tex/tetex-base_1.0-10.deb E: Seb-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code(1) Some errors occurred while unpacking. I'm going to confirm the packages that were installed. This may result in duplicate errors or errors caused by missing dependencies. This is OK, Only the errors above this message are important. Please fix them and run [I]nstall again. Press enter to continue. How can I fix them? Then, for while, One notice window appears as like: Debian Configuration Configuring One or more packages failed to install. This is probably due to bugs in the packages. (Sorry; debian's not perfect!) Simply trying to install those packages again may work around the problem, or at least move the installation process along a little further. If you decide not to try again, bear in mind that some packages on your system will be in a broken state until you manually resolve the problem. Packages failed to install. Retry? <Yes> <No> I selected <Yes>, process is continued. one more error came up: Errors were encountered while processing: /csrom//dists/potato/main/binary-i386/x11/ttf-arphic-bsmi00lp_2.10-1.deb E: Seb-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code(1) Some errors occurred while unpacking. I'm going to confirm the packages that were installed. This may result in duplicate errors or errors caused by missing dependencies. This is OK, Only the errors above this message are important. Please fix them and run [I]nstall again. Press enter to continue. then, the same notice window appears again. After selected <Yes>, the process go through to the end. If I select 'Y' when asked " if you want to setup VGA16 X server as default" and "do you want create xf86config file". The screen will show: This may take a while Press [Enter] to continue... If I press [Enter], screen will be black for a while, and the following messages are came up. _X11TransSocketUNIXConnect: Can't connect : errno=111 _X11TransSocketUNIXConnect: Can't connect : errno=111 _X11TransSocketUNIXConnect: Can't connect : errno=111 _X11TransSocketUNIXConnect: Can't connect : errno=111 _X11TransSocketUNIXConnect: Can't connect : errno=111 _X11TransSocketUNIXConnect: Can't connect : errno=111 _X11TransSocketUNIXConnect: Can't connect : errno=111 _X11TransSocketUNIXConnect: Can't connect : errno=111 _X11TransSocketUNIXConnect: Can't connect : errno=111 The /etc/X11/XF86Config file was not created Press [Enter] to switch to graphics mode This may take a while... Press [Enter] to continue... If I press [Enter], the above message will repeat again and again. if I do not create xf86config file here, but do it after login, the error message will appear as below when the command 'startx' is executed. X: exec of /usr/bin/X11/XF86_MAch64 failed _X11TransSocketUNIXConnect: Can't connect: errno = 111 giving up. xinit: Connection refused (errno 111): unable to connect to X server xinit: No such process (errno 3): Server error. I tried several times to re-created the xf86config file, and selected the exact monitor and Video card's data. The same thing happened. I wondering this is a bug or just happened in my machine? How to solve this problem. Could you give me any advise or suggestion. Thanks Tim Xu
