reassign 628870 udev thanks Quoting Manjul Apratim (mapratim@physics.rutgers.edu): > Package: installation-reports > Severity: important > > > After performing a fresh install of Debian Testing (using debootstrap), udev is unable to detect input devices. After installing the X-server as well as the gnome suite, issuing a `startx' at TTY1 resulted in a graphical X session starting, but without the functioning of the mouse/touchpad/keyboard. As such, a hard reboot is the only option. The user may think that configuring Xorg is the solution, but the solution that works is to remove the /run directory. This is a bug in either udev or the installer itself. This also seems to be related to the following bug: > > http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=620995 I reassign this to udev so that the udev maintainer takes appropriate action (merging bugs, closing the bug report as "already known", etc.). Please note, however, that /run introduction triggers several actions on several packages, and the "chance" that you went into a bad combination of packages versions (some supporting /run; some not), is quite high.... Try installing unstable: there are chances that it wold behave better in that regard.
