No, still here, and will be here for another 10 hours or so.

What was going wrong? What were the errors?

Kind regards,

Eric

Lorax 11-29-2009 05:59 AM
Oh, only 10 hours?

Update, seemed to work fine.

Upgrade, seeded to work fine.

Install, not so hot. Same errors as before: "couldn't find kde-base" etc...

The correct syntax is
Code:
apt-get install kdebase

Let's take it a bit further. Go back to your Debian console, login as root and do the following:
Code:
cd /etc/apt
cat sources.list
That file should contain something like this:
Code:
deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian stable main contrib non-free
deb http://security.debian.org stable/updates main contrib non-free
If it does, all good. If it doesn't then you'll have to add them to that file using an editor:
Code:
nano sources.list
type in what's needed there and exit with CTRL-X, respond yes when asked to save.

Next check if you have xorg-xserver installed:
Code:
dpkg -l 'xserver-xorg'
If it's there, good, if it's not:
Code:
apt-get install xserver-xorg
Next try:
Code:
apt-get install kdebase
Kind regards,

Eric

Thanks repo, I knew it had to be something that simple that I just overlooked it.

Kind regards,

Eric

Sure you'll get it to work, maybe even before you get hooked on cafeine beyond the point of no return ;)

Kind regards,

Eric

Oh Eric, already hooked! Had a second job @ Starcracks just for all my free bean!. Now, I get my Ex, my son's mother, to bring all HERS to me! Mwwaaa haa hahahahah!

Ha, one customer told me once, for as much coffee as I drink, I should take up a late-night computer programming hobby! HAA! Look at me NOW, Dave!

Ok, here goes, brothers...

Lorax 11-29-2009 06:35 AM
Debian and KDE, for now. Then I gotta save all my written notes, so I can do it all again with another. Kubuntcake has my attention...

Ok now.. oh hold pls... brb

Lorax 11-29-2009 07:08 AM
Use the quotes 'xserver-xorg' where indicated, right?

After all that, I logged out, logged back into root, and tried to get in again with startx.
No go. What's next?

EricTRA 11-29-2009 07:10 AM
But you didn't get any errors now installing the packages?

Lorax 11-29-2009 07:24 AM
