Hi Potax, its exciting you're trying this out on EeePC! First, my question is what your settings were during installation of lenny: did you uncheck "Desktop" and only select "Standard" (and maybe "laptop")?. I suspect that if the installation of the 'puredyne package' has succeeded *and* you didn't install "Desktop" during lenny-installation procedure, you will _not_ have xorg installed on your machine yet. This should of course happen. I'll add a ticket for inclusion of 'xorg' as a dependency into the 'puredyne' metapackage.
to solve this I recommend to sudo aptitude update sudo aptitude install xorg gdm with a little luck, X11 (the base for graphical desktop) will be configured right the first time and gdm will appear, a graphical login manager. You can then choose to open the xfce4 session down in the left corner or something... let us know how this runs on your eeepc, or if you encounter more problems. karsten On Fri, Jul 25, 2008 at 5:45 PM, potax flan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > hello, > > following the instructions here: > http://devel.goto10.org/puredyne/wiki/DocInstallSystem > > i just installed debian lenny and the puredyne packages to use puredyne as > the main system on my eeepc. i am fairly new to linux though. right now, > even though everything went apparently well, i only have a command line. how > do i start the GUI? and more important: how do i set it up so that GUI > always starts when i boot the machine? > > please help a newbie > thank you! > > > --- > [email protected] > irc.goto10.org #pure:dyne >
