Libranet-2.7-classic -> Pure Debian/sid kde broken
Ok, I ventured out in a new direction. My (nongeek) wife got tired of the
whole windows/virus/worm thing and asked me to put Linux on her machine. I
figured she would need a more "refined" user experience than I (who
prefers the heavy eye-candy of Enlightenment), so I went with KDE. A friend
of mine suggested I try Libranet, assuring me that I could go to straight
Debian after install, and raving about how nice the installer was (which I
agree with...Its a very nice installer).
So I got Libranet installed, copied /etc/apt/sources.list from one of my
sid boxes, apt-get updated and dist-upgraded to sid. So far so good.
The problem I'm having is that now when I log into this box, kde isn't
available. I did a dpkg -l grepping for kde, and had to install the
packages (which were in varying states of uninstalled) manually. Currently
I have the following packages installed but it still won't start kde (or
or even offer it in the gdm2 menu.
[proxima /home/storm]# dpkg -l | grep kde
