I just installed Debian sarge from a dvd. During the install there were no problems, but I don't get a graphical interface. I log on and tried startx but it tells me it does not know the command.
Can somebody help me out with this?

thanks

You may not have selected a graphical desktop environment during the install process.

You could try running:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install gnome

or

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install kde

then try startx again.

I tried the apt-get install kde, and indeed, it installed the complete kde stuff. Afterwards it even tells me I've got mail.
But when I try to execute startx I get the next error:

/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/xserverrc: line 2 : /usr/bin/X11/X unknown file or directory

/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/xserverrc: line 2 : /usr/bin/X11/X cannot execute unknown file or directory

xinit : no such file or directory (errno2) : unable to connect to xserver
xinit : no such process (errno3) Server Error

Try this (as root):

Code: Select all

apt-get install x-window-system-core

And then try to start X again.

Where can I find more info on the configuration because I get questions about keyboard etc.

thanks
