Hello. I couldn't do an apt-get update/upgrade for some time due to my cache size. Finally read a post and fixed the problem. (I upgraded over 1000 packages yesterday.) After rebooting, I get the text login. I logged in and ran startx, butI couldn't start the xserver. I got the error (something like this)

file/directory not found /usr/bin/X11/X

which is in the file /etc/X11/xinit/xserverrc

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh

# $Id: xserverrc 189 2005-06-11 00:04:27Z branden $

exec /usr/bin/X11/X -nolisten tcp
I have no idea what to do about this one.

Also, before I knew goggles was available at mepislovers, I added their repos as suggested at the goggles website. After the update/upgrade, or during, apt couldn't connect to the repos. So I commented it out and tried to do an update. Apt complained about needing to update or reinstall musicmanager but couldn't find the sources (or something like that). I tried apt-get clean, autoclean, autoremove; I also tried remove and purge; I also tried the -f option. I just can't get apt to realize that I don't want that app on my system.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks.

apt-get install xinit
apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-all

Sorry, just noticed this is antiX-M8.

Probably you need to edit /etc/slim.conf to

Code: Select all

# Path, X server and arguments (if needed)
# Note: -xauth $authfile is automatically appended
default_path        ./:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin
default_xserver     /usr/bin/X
xserver_arguments   -dpi 96 -nolisten tcp

# Commands for halt, login, etc.
halt_cmd            /sbin/shutdown -h now
reboot_cmd          /sbin/shutdown -r now
console_cmd         /usr/bin/urxvt -C -fg white -bg black +sb -T"Console login" -e /bin/sh -c"/bin/cat /etc/issue; exec /bin/login"
#suspend_cmd        /usr/sbin/suspend

# Full path to the xauth binary
xauth_path         /usr/bin/xauth
