Hi folks,
I enter this post as my last ditch effort to get debian (2. 2r4) going here. I
m installing the binary cd's. All goes well up to the x install, whereby I
get the message "transSocket unix connect cannot connect ernno 111" This
will repeat over and over till I finally tire and have to do a crtl-alt-del.
Upon reboot x cannot be found (as it wasn't installed).
Look above this error message; what you've quoted is pretty much the
generic "I can't start X for some reason" error message; what's above it
is where you'll likely find the real problem.
If you have a fast internet connection, you might consider changing your
/etc/apt/sources file to point to testing (woody) or unstable (sid) and
do an "apt-get update" followed by "apt-get upgrade" to upgrade from
Potato to Woody or Sid. I think there's a fairly large jump in X between
Potato and Woody (like, from X ver3 to ver4?), and I found that I had
less trouble getting X working from sid than from potato. But if you
want to stick with Potato, like I said above, look at the messages
before the error message you quoted.
