etch and several problems
Hello
I have done a fresh install of etch today and once installed I did a
apt-get update then apt-get upgrade. Set up the whole system like I like
it and then rebooted. Got to the
Begin root file something in the boot process and it froze eventually
dropped me into some type of useless bash prompt. So after some
reasearch on google found some info on initramfs possibly being the
culprit. So I reinstalled again and did the above mentioned apt process
and saw that initramfs was in the upgradeable package list so I aborted.
Figured I would leave it for a few days. Then I went into gnome to setup
my keyboard and selected my keyboard in the keyboard setup and all of a
sudden X went balistic flashing in and out. Keeps dropping me back to
gdm. What the heck is going on!! I know etch is technically "testing" so
I assume I cant blame anyone else but myself but this is getting
ridiculous lately. Everytime I update and upgrade I am worried about
things breaking and sure enough they do. I love debian but do not want
to drop down to stable. Maybe its time to look into mepis or ubuntu.
Anyone have problems like this as well lately. I thought I saw some mail
on the list with similiar problems. What does one do to combat this, I
cant have my system breaking every other day where I have to reinstall
or spend hours trying to figure out what went wrong, thanks.
