Re: [SunRay-Users] Ubuntu 9.04 and xkb-data-legacy

[Aaron Wilson]

I think something is missing? I followed the instructions and got 9.04 up and running but gdm kept failing on log in. Did a clean install and did the following  sudo apt-get install libldap-2.4-2 libmotif3 module-assistant tk8.4 tomcat5.5 sun-java6-jre \                       ldap-utils dhcp3-server nscd gawk iputils-ping pdksh unzip alien libgdbm3 \                       libx11-6 libfreetype6 libsasl2-2 libxt6 zlib1g gdm devscripts xkb-data-legacy \                       xfonts-base atftpd xfonts-100dpi xfonts-75dpi xfonts-cyrillic wget ed That get's me a gdm greeter screen but when I attempt to login the screen goes completely black. I can see the mouse cursor but can't move it and at the top left hand corner it shows aa...@srssubuntu: as though i'm in a full screen terminal session. Though it's a really small font that I can tell means x is sort of working correctly. I can't type either. If I do the same thing for Ubuntu 8.10 server and go to the same step I get a gdm greeter screen on which i can see the mouse cursor, but I can not type or move the mouse. Ubuntu 8.10 and 9.04 Desktop releases both work beautifully on this same hardware setup. Man I feel like a noob right now  :) Been using Ubuntu since the 5.x series but I've never messed with Server and what it takes to get gdm up and running on it.

Package xkb-data-legacy is not available, but is referred to by another package.This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source E: Package xkb-data-legacy has no installation candidate it seems that this is not required ... things worked fine which whatever kbd data gets installed by jaunty ... cheers tobi I even edited my apt sources and uncommented the repos that were commented out in case that deb is in one of those repos. Maybe I'll have to do an install of 8.10 server and get it configured and do an apt dist-upgrade? I also checked launchpad in case someone had setup a ppa for that but I didn't see any thing. Oh well I guess that's what I get for trying this so soon on an unsupported release :) Aaron _______________________________________________ SunRay-Users mailing list SunRay-Users@filibeto.org http://www.filibeto.org/mailman/listinfo/sunray-users -- Aaron Wilson Ernie Ball, Inc.
