Bug#260109: SOLUTION problem 1 => kde and gnome and any app 5 minutes start up each
Hello,
Thanks for your message.
Unfortunately, the actual problem is more subtle.
If you examine the bug report from start at
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=260109
You could see that, following instructions to install using pppoe, I DID NOT
configure the network , because it assumes that you are connecting through a
dhcp server.
So, installed without network until the phase 1 end.
At the phase 2 start, opened a second console to call pppoeconf, and after
returned to the main installer screen to proceed.
I guess that this file is only configured at network install phase.
BUT it remains incomplete for other methods, without any advice.
I suggest that this bare minimal file should be configured default even
without explicitly entering the network configure phase (dhcp centric).
This problem is very frustrating for a new user.
It turns a freshly installed debian almost of no practical use for a desktop
newbie.
No error messages are clearly showed. No hints.
This problem is likely to happen for who freshly install without dhcp server
(pppoe or ppp), skipping the network configuration phase.
Also, this will solve only one of the problems reported.
There are still issues with wrong installed kernel, wrongly detected PCI video
slot, wrong mouse, wrong video card, wrong monitor, incomplete detection of
the cdrw-dvd drive, brazilian portuguese abnt2 keyboard, some menu tweakings
(mouse port, keyboard codes), and explanations for the newbie (why desktop
needs a MTA, and what is libpango?).
Best regards.
Andre Felipe
