| 00:54.47 | brap | God someone help me I'm about to just give up on having debian on this eMac |
| 00:55.02 | sloopy | brap: whats wrong? |
| 00:55.49 | brap | When I type startx I just get a black screen only errors I can find in the log is it says it cannot find the fonts which I dont really know if that's why its screwing up or not |
| 00:58.46 | brap | If I was doing it on a PC I wouldnt have any problems but I know nothing about macs so I dunno what to do |
| 01:01.33 | SG1 | brap, are you sure thats the *only* error? |
| 01:01.38 | sloopy | once it boots into linux it is the same... |
| 01:01.56 | sloopy | check for other errors... |
| 01:02.10 | sloopy | brap: and which machine is it? |
| 01:02.34 | brap | an eMac with a radeon 7500 card |
| 01:03.15 | brap | (EE) can't load pex5 or xie or something are the only other errors I see |
| 01:05.04 | SG1 | brap, can you post the log somewhere? |
| 01:09.17 | denken | brap: how exactly did you install x windows on this machine? |
| 01:09.33 | denken | and yes, post the error log to pastebin.org |
| 01:16.09 | brap | http://www.people.virginia.edu/~nmcquay/XFree86.0.log |
| 01:17.16 | denken | dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86 |
| 01:17.33 | denken | about the tenth step or so, it will prompt you to select the list of x extensions to load |
| 01:17.35 | brap | did that |
| 01:17.38 | denken | make sure xie is selected in there |
| 01:17.47 | brap | I didnt see it listed |
| 01:18.08 | denken | how exactly did you install x windows on this machine? |
| 01:19.39 | brap | http://www.double-helix.org/linux/debian/ati-radeon-7000-deb.php |
| 01:19.42 | brap | via those instructions |
| 01:19.49 | brap | only x thing I see is xtt |
| 01:20.18 | denken | so your running unstable now? |
| 01:20.31 | brap | lol yeah |
| 01:20.51 | denken | you dont need unstable on an emac. testing will do... |
| 01:21.01 | denken | i would do a woody install, then dist-upgrade to testing |
| 01:21.05 | denken | works on all my ppc machines |
| 01:21.22 | denken | including my titanium powerbook g4 which is newer hardware than an emac |
| 01:21.37 | brap | Ok I'm gonna reinstall woody then upgrade to testing and then what? |
| 01:21.51 | denken | then it will work :) |
| 01:22.07 | brap | heh k |
| 01:22.42 | denken | just an fyi, i had to reinstlal debian-ppc AT LEAST ten times before i got the damned thing right. just have patience youll get it working |
| 01:22.48 | denken | ppc is a nice arch to work on in linux |
| 01:29.22 | brap | afk while I'm reinstalling |
