Note about hardware: I am trying to get it installed on a decTOP (AMD x86). The 'net posted instructions worked up to a point (I mastered the install-from-stick, but ended up with a [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ prompt instead of an edubuntu screen.
sudo cat /etc/lsb-release produces DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu DISTRIB_RELEASE=6.06 DISTRIB_CODENAME=dapper DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 6.06.1 LTS" I tried sudu startx (as recommended by some other bulletin boards) but the messages from STARTX are: Series of: (EE) xf86OpenSerial: cannot open deivce /dev/wacom No such file or directory Error opening /dev/wacom : Success No core pointer ends with: Fatal server error: failed to initialize core devices XIO fatal IO error 104 (Connection reset by peer) on X server ":0.0" after 0 requests (0 known processed) with 0 events remaining. So, I tried sudo update-rc.d gdm defaults and was told update-rc.d: /etc/init.d/gdm: file doesn exist. I checked the folder and sure enough... not there. Finally, I re-installed from the stick again and avoided a couple of problems with previous install: 1) had the ethernet cable plugged in, so networking is installed 2) used default partitioning 3) installed all the additional software packages when prompted The LTSP package install step still fails, so I bypassed it - and from other list postings, this seems to be a common bug. I don't plan to use this setup as a thin client, so should not be a problem for me unless...there's something I am missing. So the process went better, except that I am still at the TTY1 prompt per my last post. help! ____________________________________________________________ GET FREE SMILEYS FOR YOUR IM & EMAIL - Learn more at http://www.inbox.com/smileys Works with AIM®, MSN® Messenger, Yahoo!® Messenger, ICQ®, Google Talk™ and most webmails -- edubuntu-users mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/edubuntu-users
