No GUI after Debian-xfce install
 

Hello,

I´ve installed Debian using the special XFCE/LXDE install CD from here

However, after the first boot-up, there is no GUI. Instead, I´m asked for my username and password - see the screenshot

How can I enter the GUI (in this case xfce)?

login as root and type startx
you can install gdm

Done that, however, still no GUI - I get an error message - see the screenshot

Did you installed all packages?
like xserver, xorg....

if your connection works:

I pressumed that the packages (xserver, xorg etc) were installed with the xfce instal CD. It look this was not the case.

So I typed [/QUOTE] and got the following error message.

Then, when I typed I got the following error message

It looks I can´t retrive the packages for some reason, however my connection seems to be working: check the
ifconfig -a output and cat /etc/resolve.conf and route -n outputs.

it is
/etc/resolv.conf

make sure it contains the DNS fom your provider


Can you
ping 212.100.160.51
ping www.google.com

How about lspci so we can see what network interface you have..
and ifconfig -a

Your issue, in this install and the previous install both appear to be network related.

ping www.google.com output is here
ping 212.100.160.51 output is here

How can I tell the DNS is my provider´s?

so the connection is OK
can you retype

Done that.

Please see the screenshots below.

First it displays this screen for a few seconds. Then, it displays this screen.

try
put the cd in the drive
to add the cdrom to the sources list

Done that, however nothing has changed - I still get the same error messages and cannot apt-get update successfully.

does
apt-get install xserver-xorg-core xorg gdm
gives any errors ?

First, I get this screen, after a few seconds I get this screen.

edit /etc/apt/sources.list
and comment out everything except the cd
is the cd in the drive ?
and try again.
