upgrade to lenny report
Hi all,
This morning I upgraded my etch desktop to lenny.
All went ok but with 3 small issues.
1) Exim was refusing to start up due to no zero size on the paniclog file.
The file was reporting a configuration error on specific line, but not on the config
file that I use. Removing the lines from the paniclog made the exim4 to be started
again
2) X couldn't be start up due to a missing nv driver. xserver-xorg-video-nv was not
installed during the upgrade. I need to check the upgrade log to find out why, I use script for
capturing the upgrade.
Installing that package and restarting gdm solved the problem.
3) The gdm login screen is a bit more left that it should be.
I don't have that issue inside Gnome. I haven't managed to solve that one.
I use fb driver during boot in order to have 1280x1024 resolution at console.
When I configured fb.modes file (1 year ago), I hacked a bit the 1280x1024-60 mode
because the screen was a bit to left. Inside Gnome I have 1280x1024 at 75.
Since the problem at GDM login screen matched the problem at the console, I thought
that I could change the boot line at grub to use video=nvidiafb:1280x1024@75. But,
after the boot fbset -s says 1280x1024-60 and GDM login screen is still a bit to
left.
I could change the setting on my monitor (Sony SDM-HS75P), but that would break the
console screen and the screen inside Gnome, which they are fine.
Nevertheless, I am happy that I have the same setup 5 years now :-)
Cheers,
Pavlos
