Solution: Re: Problems getting D-Link DFE-530TX+ working
From Bob Proulx
I cannot think of any reason changing kernels would affect the
installation of the X server which is in the xserver-xfree86 package.
I guess that what steef had said, that since I had been using the
security packages with the bf24
install there might have been an error getting XServer. Since the
default install didn't have a
working eth0 card, I couldn't get to the security packages and had no
problem installing.
Anyway...
Try this:
apt-get install x-window-system-core xterm
Did this, worked great, everything was downloaded and installed. Thanks :)
... Without getting into a window
manager debate, KDE is one option. ... Put this in your /etc/apt/sources.list file and you can install kde 3.2 from kde.org. Or change that to 3.1.4 if you desire the more tested version...
deb http://download.kde.org/stable/3.2/Debian stable main
Then:
apt-get install arts kdelibs kdebase kdeaddons kdeartwork kdeutils kdemultimedia kdenetwork kdetoys kdm
Again, this worked great! I used 3.1.4 and really think it looks nice.
Thanks so much for the
great response and quit time as well :)
So to sum up, I now have the bf24 install, with ethernet card working
(no additional setup
required) and with XWindows and KDE installed as per Bob's instructions.
Steve
