Hello all,
Is there an alternative/easier way to reconfigure X than using 'dpkg- reconfigure xserver-xorg'?
I volunteer at a non-profit (ByteWorks[1]) which accepts donatations of older computers, refurbishes them, and gives them to youth who have gone through the Earn-a-Computer program. We've been experimenting with cloning Edubuntu on those machines and it works fairly well. The only time the process is a bit cumbersome is when the video card or monitor changes.
One the dive has been imaged with the clone, our process involves booting Edubuntu, changing to a virtual console if the video doesn't work (Ctrl-Alt-F1), running 'dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg', and then '/etc/init.d/gdm restart'. In the extreme case where even the keyboard doesn't work, we power off and reboot into "recovery mode". While that process works, I was wondering if we were overlooking another/easier way.
Thanks in advance for any help, tips, and pointers to references. [1] http://stlouis.missouri.org/bworks/ Regards, - Robert [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://stlouis.missouri.org/bworks/ -- edubuntu-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/edubuntu-users
