--continued I was able to build an iso file - my686-2-xorg_cd1.iso
It booted fine. I configured a network interface and started up sshd I think I rebooted here. Then more configuration - it now asks for X11 Configuration I chose XcfgT2 Running X config - gave me a black screen. Ctrl-Alt-Del did not get me out. However, since the sshd was running, I was able to login and look at ps ax I killed off all of the stone configuration processes - but my console window was still black. ----- I continued the configuration from my ssh window. I selected twn as window manager It is located at /usr/X11R7/bin/twn and it exists Looking at the /etc/inittab file, it was set to boot to level 2 (not X11). At the end, it looks like the startx command is X:5:respawn:/usr/X11/bin/startxdm I finished the configuration. ---- root@(none):~# shutdown -r now Broadcast message from root (ttyp0) (Sun Jan 24 18:36:03 2010): The system is going down for reboot NOW! shutdown: /dev/initctl: No such file or directory init: /dev/initctl: No such file or directory root@(none):~# --- Hmm, maybe it won't come up if I 'power off' (virtually) -- --- Power off and then on ---- Yes !! - it flashed something about the graphical.. not being ready yet and then did a normal boot to localhost login: ---- The acid test is to try for level 5 - going into windows mode. init 5 /usr/X11/bin/startxdm: line 20: /usr/X11/bin/xdm: No such file or directory INIT: Id "X" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes ----- Looks like I pruned too much in building this image. Since it is looking for xdm, and xdm was one of those whacked packages, I will go back to the my686-2 build image and copy over the project/xorg/xdm directory and see what can be done with that package. I loaded t2-trunk into the my686-2-xorg_cd1.iso system and will copy things over to my686-2 from there. If I do a svn update in my686-2, everything will be restored - which is not what I want, so will try to restore one package at a time - until I get a running X11 system. The current t2-trunk version in my686-2-xorg is At revision 35388 ----------------------------------------------------------- If you wish to unsubscribe from this mailing, send mail to [email protected] with a subject of: unsubscribe t2
