Initial trouble with X
Ok, I had some trouble with X, I will try to remember all since I'm at work
right now.
I tried to get the packages but there was huge dependencies problems
(notably shell-utils 'conflicts' with login, and also pre-depends on 'login'
or 'hurd'... that made me do several mistakes - the removal of basic
packages that rendered my system useless... and I did a fresh install, since
I knew more this time and could avoid several errors).
Also, when I put the ftp.de.debian.org line in sources.list (unstable main)
it reports a huge amount of packages... that prolly belong to Linux
woody... but if I specify binary-hurd-i386 apt tries to open
...debian/dists/unstable/main/binary-hurd-i386/binary-hurd-i386 ... Is that
amount of packages (that include gnome, kde, netscape, Linux kernel,
etc...) normal? If not how do I get it to work?
The solution was to comment out ftp.de.debian.org (after upgrading
everything, the hurd to the correct new version) and make do with
alpha.gnu.org... then I saw all the new X packages and installed them (I
pretty much installed them all, except for Xservers, only installed mine).
I had the following problems:
Making the mouse translator (settrans /dev/mouse etc) it says /dev/mouse,
file not found; I tried to do a MAKEDEV mouse but it gave me an error
(MAKEDEV kbd worked); reading the Japanese page (Yasushi's one) I saw that
with a serial mouse '/dev/mouse not needed'... is the error to be expected?
If not, what must I recompile?
Anyway, the real trouble came later: I set up my XF86Config file, did a
startx and receives an error message saying something like
'xauth: libXmu.so.6 not found'
(about 8 lines of the same error)
I will look in the Packages to see in which one is LibXmu installed.... but
since I installed just about every one I wonder...
Oh, and I sometimes get a 'default pager error: dumping blablabla', that
keeps appearing in my screen (like a $yes) and I have to reboot the system,
sometimes with the reset button)
I'm sorry if there is info that I don't give, I was just hopping that either
someone had the same problem and had a solution or if someone ever heard of
this problems.
