Hi, Pierre. Glad you got it going. The first thing you should do is edit the /etc/apt/sources.list file as said here

Note that nano has its own commands like ctrl+F (one character forward), ctrl+B (one character backwards), ctrl+D (delete the character under the cursor), ctrl+O (save), ctrl+X (exit). If you choose like said in the link above to comment (add a '#' sign at the beginning of the lines) all 'testing' lines, your system will be more stable in future upgrades.
After you have edited /etc/apt/sources.list and exited nano, in Terminal (still under 'root' privileges) typeif you feel more comfortable with Synaptic.

Thanks !

Sorry there was a little problem in the forum...

Hey, did you remind it correctly? __{{emoticon}}__

Sorry, P., but I'm not much technical. If you can't get it going maybe someone can give a hint maybe on booting through the live cd and editing the password. I know in ubuntu you can reset the password at boot time, but I would have to research it again.

Edit - the forum is still with this little bug but you can edit one of your posts if you like.

Thanks !

Well, I am doing it myself alone and I am reinstalling, you are right maybe I made a mistake. __{{emoticon}}__

For the forum, it doesn't matter, thanks ! __{{emoticon}}__

Pierre, if you remember the username, I think you can just edit /etc/slim.conf (through the live cd) to enable auto login. And then we see how we do for you to reset the password.

You would navigate to /etc/slim.conf in your hard disk and find these linesthen you remove the '#' before 'auto_login yes' and 'default_user username' (replace 'username' for your username).

No.

There is really a problem

I reinstalled it (the 8th or 9th time) and it occurs exactly the same thing.

Are you installing using the French language installer and choosing language as fr_FR?
Do you use a French keyboard?

If you do, then make sure the username and root password can be typed as if it is in English.

Hello

yes I thought about it and : I did.

I restart the installation and I'll set non-ambiguous user and password...

Ayé !

I set pierre, pierre and it admitted it...

Pfouou...

Hi everybody and spend a good Sunday !

Sources.list modification done and update proceeding...

You would navigate to /etc/slim.conf in your hard disk and find these lines

Code: Select all

# Automatically login the default user (without entering
# the password. Set to"yes" to enable this feature
#auto_login          yes

# default user, leave blank or remove this line
# for avoid pre-loading the username.
#default_user        username

then you remove the '#' before 'auto_login yes' and 'default_user username' (replace 'username' for your username).

Packages update done.

Modification above done and successfully rebooted with automatic username/password. Used Leafpad instead of nano, more friendly...

Synaptic theorically installed but I don't find it in Fluxbox menus.

Installing Wicd in order to suppress ethernet wire, using terminal.

(previous post continuation)

Wicd theorically installed too, but I don't find it anywhere either. I tried to unconnect ethernet but it didn't succeed in connecting in wifi.

I succeeded in calling websites in ethernet with Iceweasel, very nice !...

System time is set to 11:56 (Bios time, I believe), here in Paris (summer time) it's 10:56. Is there any kind of time synchronization with a server or is it entirely manual ?

Can you help me, please ? Thank you.

Sorry, error...
