Ok I just installed Synaptic on 8.10 which gave me a couple more gnome
goodies. It now allows me to type so I can log in.
However it's pretty much identical behavior as 9.04 now. I can type and
move the mouse though. On 9.04 it's a full black screen, but on 8.10
it's a brown screen and the top left corner is a black terminal
session. I think 9.04 changed the default background color from brown
to black....

I think something is missing?
I followed the instructions and got 9.04 up and running but gdm kept
failing on log in. Did a clean install and did the following
sudo apt-get install libldap-2.4-2 libmotif3 module-assistant tk8.4
tomcat5.5 sun-java6-jre \
ldap-utils dhcp3-server nscd gawk iputils-ping
pdksh unzip alien libgdbm3 \
libx11-6 libfreetype6 libsasl2-2 libxt6 zlib1g
gdm devscripts xkb-data-legacy \
xfonts-base atftpd xfonts-100dpi xfonts-75dpi
xfonts-cyrillic wget ed
That get's me a gdm greeter screen but when I attempt to login the
screen goes completely black. I can see the mouse cursor but can't move
it and at the top left hand corner it shows aa...@srssubuntu: as though
i'm in a full screen terminal session. Though it's a really small font
that I can tell means x is sort of working correctly. I can't type
either.
If I do the same thing for Ubuntu 8.10 server and go to the same step I
get a gdm greeter screen on which i can see the mouse cursor, but I can
not type or move the mouse. Ubuntu 8.10 and 9.04 Desktop releases both
work beautifully on this same hardware setup.
Man I feel like a noob right now :)
Been using Ubuntu since the 5.x series but I've never messed with
Server and what it takes to get gdm up and running on it.

Hi Aaron,

Trying to follow the wiki instructions for Ubuntu 8.10 since it appears others
have gotten it to work including the author of the wiki
Right of the bat though I run into problem with the apt-get command when
xkb-data-legacy can't be found in the repos.
Package xkb-data-legacy is not available, but is referred to by another
package.This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
E: Package xkb-data-legacy has no installation candidate
it seems that this is not required ... things worked fine which
whatever kbd data gets installed by jaunty ...
cheers

I even edited my apt sources and uncommented the repos that were commented out
in case that deb is in one of those repos.
Maybe I'll have to do an install of 8.10 server and get it configured and do
an apt dist-upgrade?
I also checked launchpad in case someone had setup a ppa for that but I didn't
see any thing.
Oh well I guess that's what I get for trying this so soon on an unsupported
release :)
