Re: Debian Installer 7.0 RC3 release
This time I had a smooth install and chose to install the desktop
environment and found out something accidentally that was interesting.
The first install I did when the computer booted up I forgot to connect
the screen to the computer but gnome started up anyway and gave me a
gnome fallback notification. So, I then attached the screen and
rebooted the machine but this time no gnome fallback notification. This
time things went silent after bluetooth tried installing so I hit
control-alt-backspace a few times and then hit control-alt-f7 and the
talking gnome login screen came up. I moved the cursor onto my login
image account and hit enter and was prompted for a password and decided
to tab around a little first. I found a cancel button and login buttons
and a combobox where system default, gnome, and gnome classic were
available. I chose system default and keyed in password and did a login
and got a welcome from orca. I was then able to run gnome-terminal and
figured after that I should report results. For now, it's a bit
difficult getting the gnome login screen to come up maybe I don't know
the correct timing but other than that, I think this one is ready for
prime time!
