Starting X (KDE) from chroot possible?

2005-11-12 Thread Frank
(I hope nobody is going to complain, that this question involves the word Ubuntu. The question is not directly related to that.) I decided to install an (K)ubuntu chroot on my Debian AMD64 system, because that solves two issues for me: - the few 32bit-only applications can be run (flash, OOo,

As I learned on the ACPI mailing list, vbetool indeed cannot operate on an x86_64 kernel, because that one does not provide vm86. If anybody is interested, here is the thread: http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=8933707forum_id=6102 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL

Hi Christoph, you are correct, I forgot to install the xbase-fonts package. Should have been a dependency though, if the xserver doesn't start without it. But that is certainly not Debian's bug, but Ubuntu's. Thank you, Frank Christoph Fassbach, 12. November 2005 20:21: | Hi Frank, | | are you

Hello again; We just got confirmation from someone at freenode that this problem exists with other chips as well (saa7134, in this case), so it's not chip dependent. It seems to be confined to x86_64 and 2.6.15, though. On Fri, 2005-11-11 at 23:21 +0900, Junichi Uekawa wrote: Hi,
