Hello

I upgraded from M8 to M8.2 with the CD (keeping the partitions and the /home)

Fine and everything OK... except from : I have an English keyboard !! (instead of a French one, of course)

How can I correct please ? Thank you.

During the installation I chose the right keyboard

dpkg-reconfigure locales

has no effect

It's theoratically done : In /etc/x11/xorg.conf

I replaced"us" by"fr" in"xkblayout"

You will need to change /etc/default/locale to read: LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8
and /etc/profile to add at the end
export LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8

OK thanks

It's done, thanks

Hello

During apt-upgrade

I am blocked in"sysv-rc configuration"

"unable to migrate to dependency boot system", etc etc

in a blue non-graphical or semi graphical window in the terminal.

Impossible to move anything. There is an OK but it's not an open zone. Impossible to do OK and execute the following part.

Can you help me please ?

It occurs for the second time (at each installation)

Pierre, there are two ways to solve this (this should be sticky somewhere):

Following Debian Testing, the upgrade now wants users to use Dependency Based Boot via insserv (it is faster).
This happens automatically on upgrade, except it doesn't on antiX-M8.2 (and earlier) because of the lsb errors in ejecrcd and mepis-network.

Solution 1:
1. Remove /etc/init.d/ejecrcd file as root with the file manager and remove mepis-network (apt-get purge mepis-network)
2. In a rooot terminal dpkg-reconfigure sysv-rc and choose yes.

Solution 2:
1. In /etc/init.d edit the ejecrcd file to look like this and rename in ejectcd. Same with mepis-network
2. In a rooot terminal dpkg-reconfigure sysv-rc and choose yes.

There are too many problems in this distrib... __{{emoticon}}__

It's because it's based on Debian (testing) so sometimes when things change on Debian then we must tweak antiX.
Do like its said in the first option (if you don't need mepis-network - there's Wicd and Ceni for that too):
-Delete /etc/init.d/ejecrcd
-apt-get purge mepis-network

Then you can try Then when you want to upgrade, do Sometimes that will remove an application you need then you will have to reinstall it. antiX is very good, Pierre, only we should be careful when upgrading because it's based on Debian testing.

Thanks

it is very good. There are a lot of installation problems. __{{emoticon}}__

I'll continue to-morrow.

P., to click 'ok' at dpkg-reconfigure sysv-rc you must press the 'tab' key and then 'enter'.

Yes I think you should correct the 8.2 installation before I try another time...

Seriously :

Thanks, I did it but the zone is not opened.

I'll try it again to-morrow

It is confirmed."Tab" doesn't go to the OK zone... which doesn't exist ! It is closed...
