Hello,
I first upgraded from potato to woody, with only the essential
: console tools.
I then decided to install XFree86 (with dselect).
But after downloading, and configuring some packages, my
screen got frozen on the xserver-common / xserver-xfree86 script
configuration.
I could'nt go back to a prompt, no more term was available (I
tried ALT+F1..F7, CTRL+ALT+F1..F7)...
I tried CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE.
Nothing. I had to reboot, I've done it.
I repeated this steps several times, but it always ended the
same way.
I then tried to remove the packages => errors, reboot,
errors, reboot.
I finally tried with dpkg (after a RTFM of man dpkg :-)
:
dpkg --ignore-depends=xserver-xfree86 --purge
xserver-xfree86
but it returned :
dpkg: error processing xserver-xfree86
subprocess pre-removal script returned error exit status
10
and I had to reboot again :-((((
What should I do ?
Thanks for helping me.
Laurent PETIT.
PS: I still have a 2.2.17 Kernel (it may be important ?), My
graphic card is an ATI Rage Pro.
