I am running debian 6.0.6 on a Toshiba laptop that is approximately two years old. The command python --version reported 2.6.x. I wanted to upgrade to 3.3.2, so I did the following things, some of which were apparently mistakes.
(1) I downloaded the .tgz for 3.3.2. from python.org, typed ./configure, make, and make install. This did not seem to produce any serious warnings. (2) python --version said I was still using 2.6.x, so [probably a Big Mistake] I typed apt-get remove python I think I made the further mistake of saying "go ahead" when there was a warning. (3) Then I repeated step (1), expecting this would simply replace the older python with the newer one. At this point, python --version was still saying 2.6.x, but python3 --version said 3.3.2. However, after shutting down my machine, it became clear that Something Bad had happened. (Bad #1) after entering username and password, I get tty instead of graphics. (Bad #2) the wireless connection has stopped working. There are probably other Bad Things as well, but I decided at this point to ask the experts for help. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
