installing qingy
Ok, i've heard and seen alot about qingy so i decided to give it a try. I downloaded it, compiled it, no problem there. Then the guide at the website says:
Code:
You also have to modify your /etc/inittab file. You should find in it a section that goes like this:
# TERMINALS
c1:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 tty1 linux
c2:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 tty2 linux
c3:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 tty3 linux
c4:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 tty4 linux
c5:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 tty5 linux
c6:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 tty6 linux
and modify it as follows:
# TERMINALS
c1:12345:respawn:/sbin/qingy tty1
c2:12345:respawn:/sbin/qingy tty2
c3:12345:respawn:/sbin/qingy tty3
c4:12345:respawn:/sbin/qingy tty4
c5:12345:respawn:/sbin/qingy tty5
c6:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 tty6 linux
So i look into my inittab, the closest thing that resembles that is:
Code:
1:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty1
2:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty2
3:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty3
4:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty4
5:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty5
6:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty6
so i change that to:
Code:
1:2345:respawn:/sbin/qingy 38400 tty1
2:23:respawn:/sbin/qingy 38400 tty2
3:23:respawn:/sbin/qingy 38400 tty3
4:23:respawn:/sbin/qingy 38400 tty4
5:23:respawn:/sbin/qingy 38400 tty5
6:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty6
Then the manual says:
Code:
After that you can either reboot your system or use the following commands (as root):
init Q
killall agetty
where agetty is the name of your previous *getty. After this, either logout or change terminal to see qingy in all it's glory!
So i reboot, and voila! KDM pops up, no qingy. Has anyone gotten qingy to work in debian (i'm sure someone has)? Could you tell me what i've done wrong? Thanks. |
