BETA 4 Network Install KONSOLE-TERMINAL problem
I have been experimenting with the the Beta 4 network install that uses KDE 3.2. All seems to go well, until I log in as a user. The user desktop seems to work fine, except for Konsole (or a terminal in Gnome - same problem). Konsole loads OK, but has no prompt! In other words, I am unable to input any commands. Konsole works in root, but not in any user account. I did not have this problem with BETA 3 - I have it installed on multiple machines. Is this a bug or a feature? Do I need to modify a config file somewhere? Thanks! Robert -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Installation of Sarge on IBMs with i845 video chipset?
I work at a school where we have multiple IBM 8310 desktop computers for student and teacher use. I have been attempting to install Sarge (using the network install), but have had difficulty with the i845 video chipset. I understand that there are some modules to load, and perhaps issues regarding the kernal and the version of xfree86. Does anyone know where I might find step-by-step instructions for this process? Will Sid load the i845 stuff automatically? Can I get what I need by using apt-get, or do I need to download files from Intel? I know that Knoppix works on these machines without any configuration problems, but I want to run pure Debian on all machines. Your help is much appreciated Robert Maynord -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Potato and Helix-Gnome
Dear debian-user List Friends: I have been following the Potato and Helix-Gnome discussions, and decided to try the setup. I downloaded last weeks version of Potato, and it works fine. I purchased the Helix-Gnome disk, and it works - at least with Red Hat. I have unsuccessfully tried the Potato-Helix combination on two completely different computers, so the problem must be mine. I begin with the the Potato installation, and when it gets to the apt-get section, I include the Helix-Gnome CD. Potato sees the Helix-Gnome CD fine, and I select the three Helix-Gnome boxes in the apt-get simple selection area. I then continue the installation, and all works fine until apt-get begins the actual installation of the packages. Then the messages (describing which packages are to be installed) appear at different starting points on the screen. The last message is: Do you want to continue? [Y/n] At this point the computer freezes and will not respond to a typed Y (enter) or any other keyboard action. My hope is to use the Debian/Helix-Gnome combination on computers at an elementary school. Any help on this problem would be very much appreciated!!! p.s. I have also tried installing Helix-Gnome after completing a Potato-only installation. Potato installs fine. But when I begin the Helix-Gnome part, directly from the CD as per Helix-Gnome instructions, the same screen freezing occurs.
Potato and Helix-Gnome - Solved!
Dear Debian list: Thanks for your responses! I finally solved the Potato and Helix-Gnome installation problem. I found that if I do NOT use the simple package choice in apt-get, but use the advanced instead, it works. I am able to use the Helix-Gnome CD with no problem. Except: There appears to be an IRQ conflict. My mouse hops all around the perimeter of the screen, with no useful connections on the menus. I have tried using XF86Setup to configure my PS/2 mouse to /dev/psaux. The mouse works fine in the X test setup - just not in Gnome! I will continue with the troubleshooting Thanks again! Robert
PS/2 Mouse in Gnome SOLUTION!
Dear Bill, Syrus, Kent and Friends: Thanks for your suggestions regarding the PS/2 mouse. Through working with your suggestions, I finally discovered the solution specific to my situation. In the gpm.conf file, I changed the repeat_type= so that there is NO repeat type (a blank space). Now it works. Thanks again! Robert
