Debian Installation :: Startx Not Working With 8.0 Xfce Netinstall PPC

May 22, 2015

I downloaded and installed the debian 8 ppc netinstall on my powerbook G4. upon the option of which desktop environment I wanted, I de-selected debian desktop environment (I only selected printer and utilities.) After finishing the install I am prompted with terminal. I logged in and did the following:

Code: Select allnano /etc/apt/sources.list

to include

Code: Select alldeb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian jessie main contrib non-free
deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian jessie main contrib non-free
deb http://security.debian.org/ jessie/updates main contrib non-free
deb-src http://security.debian.org/ jessie/updates main contrib non-free

then did

Code: Select allsudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

then

Code: Select allsudo apt-get install xfce4 xfce4-goodies

then

Code: Select allsudo apt-get install lightdm

and finally

Code: Select allsudo apt-get install synaptic apt-xapian-index gdebi gksu menu
sudo reboot

after reboot the login screen pops up. I log in, and a terminal pops up over the login screen. I think the issue is startx is not working?

I'm hoping to install XFCE 4.8 after a fresh install of Debian via the netinstall. Do I just change the source.list file to point to testing and then install xfce4?

Debian Hardware :: BCM5700 Not Working For Netinstall

Apr 14, 2015

I figured I'd rather do a netinstall for Debian, but it cannot find my network card. This has been the issue for Ubuntu as well. I did find this, but I haven't installed Debian yet: [URL] .... Not to mention it's 5 years old, and the links are obviously dead. I'm somewhat inexperienced with Linux in general, and I've searched for incorporating driver modules into the install but couldn't figure it out.

Where can I find the driver, and how can I incorporate it into the install? I wanted to do the netinstall to have Debian as minimal as possible.

Debian Installation :: Compiling Drivers For A Netinstall?

Jul 18, 2010

I would really like to try and do a Netinstall on my laptop with it. I know I could just download the CD's/a DVD, but I would rather customize it for my laptop, and I've heard that's the fastest way. The problem is that I have to compile the drivers for both my wireless and my wired internet. I have guides to compile both the wireless [URL] and wired [URL] internet. I was wondering if there was a way to compile these drivers in a Netinstall (preferably the wireless, but wired if necessary)?

Debian Installation :: Squeeze - Netinstall Don't Support Reiserfs /home?

Feb 10, 2011

I installed the Squeeze with CD-ROM netinstall. My /home is in /dev/hda6, reiserfs format, and I want to preserve it, I didn't make backup, and there is not the reiserfs option in the partition editor of the netinstall, so that it would be formated the home, otherwise it is not used as home, and I can not even mount it. I try to edit /etc/fstab with the UUID of the device hda6 as home. I have just found reiserfs in http://packages.deb.at/squeeze/i386/rei ... i/download.

Debian Installation :: Grab Multi Arch Netinstall Of Both Lenny 5.0.5 And Latest Frozen Squeeze

Aug 7, 2010

It seems as though every time that I want to grab a multi-arch, netinstall ISO from the site (not very often) I have an insane amount of trouble navigating the site and finding what I want. I mean there's no freaking "downloads" section that is split into testing and stable with links to the mirrors and such. I want to grab a multi-arch netinstall of both Lenny 5.0.5 and the latest, frozen Squeeze. I cannot find either. In other words, I'd have to burn six CDs instead of two. Not happening. Can somebody point me to the images that I am seeking?

Debian :: Missing UI Elements After Netinstall

May 1, 2016

Every single theme has at least one or more broken UI element. In Arc, I'm missing highlighting in the context menu, and in Numix, some application's backgrounds are just completely black. All of these themes don't give me a urlbar. I'm also missing a lot of boxes. There is no box around the word "submit" in reddit, and neither around "cancel". If you go into the search bar, I'm missing the checkbox for "limit my search to /r/...". I know these themes work, because I had them working in my last install of Debian. Except, last time I used the XFCE iso instead of the netinst. Even default themes, like Raleigh, are not working correctly. I installed all the necessary packages like the gtk2 murrine engine, but if the default themes aren't working then something is definitely missing.

Debian :: Squeeze Netinstall With Non-free Firmware?

Apr 4, 2011

I installed Squeeze on a server today, and struggled a bit because the network card needed non-free firmware (Broadcom something). The server had no floppy, so I had to go and get a pen drive and put firmware from non-free on it to get it to work.

I agree on the political issues on this, but sometimes it's non-free or nothing.

So I was wondering if someone know of a patched netinstall, or know how to make one? Then I could give the pen drive away to something more useful that keeping non-free firmware. Warnings and questions about the non-free would also be nice.

How could I change it?The only resolutions that are available right now are 1280x1024, 1024x768, 800x600, 640x780. I have a 19" wide screen, so the resolution should be 1440x900. I couldn't find xorg.conf since it seems new xorg doesn't need it anymore.

Debian :: XFCE Display Scrambles Randomly After Installation

Dec 26, 2015

I recently installed Debian 8.2.0 on an older machine (circa 2008, AMD Athlon Dual Core 5000B Processor, Nvidia nforce MCP61P Chipset, Nvidia Geforce 6150SE nForce 430 onboard video).

The install went smoothly, but occasionally the screen scrambles (see example below)

I have to force restart every time this occurs, and I'm not entirely sure what causes it. It used to only happen if I launched iceweasel too soon after login, but now it happens at any random time (in the middle of doing an image search, or right at the end of a 6 hour work session without any hiccups. I have only found topics on "screen blanking", and similar issues when using brightness controls on laptops, but nothing specifically like this.

Debian Installation :: Install Only XFCE With Graphical Installer

Apr 27, 2015

I'd like to do a fresh install of newly released Jessie with only Xfce in a graphical installer. When I come to the point where i have to select the DE to install, there are options: Debian desktop environment, and then ...GNOME, ...Xfce, ...Lxde etc.

I guess that with the first option, it's like in Wheezy - it installs the default, which is gnome. But if i choose the ...xfce option, do i have to keep the 'debian desktop environment' option checked, or will that just install gnome alongside Xfce? Do i have to check only Xfce as an option?

Fedora Installation :: Best Install Method - LiveCD Or Netinstall?

Aug 25, 2011

I have finally decided to bite the bullet and upgrade my current Linux system from Fedora Core 2 to Fedora 15. When checking the download page and from reading another thread there is apparently no isos' available for an set of install CDs. An iso is only available for DVD. Since my machine does not have a DVD drive that is obviously not an option. In the past I have only installed from a set CDs and I'm not sure which install method is the best to use. I do have a DSL internet connection and will probably need to increase my partitions sizes. Which install method do you recommend and why?
