Cannot get to a GUI X-Windows error?
|
|
|
| I have gone through the installation process with Debian/GNU 3.0 r4
i386 on a circa 1998 Compaq Presario Desktop that I recently
ressurected. When I boot the computer now, I comes up to a command
prompt WITH NO GUI.
I get the following error message which I have tried to retype since I
do not know how to do any type of error logs or cut and paste...
x: unable to load wrapper config file /etc/xll/xwrapper.config
http://www.xfree86.org/cvs
xfree86 v 4.1.0.1/x window system (protocol version 11, revision 0,
vendor release 6510) realese date: 21 dec 2001
Module loader present
(==) Log file: "/var/log/xfree86.o.log"
That is the end of the message.
I think I know that it is a problem with x-windows. At some point I
got it to come up with some ugly old looking x-windows where I used my
arrow keys as the mouse and my video card was in color and every other
piece of hardware was in black and white. I did not get very far with
this. The interface was clunky and it did not help the situation.
What should I do?!? I really want to learn but please keep in mind
that I do not know the Unix language. If your advice is going to be
some sort of Unix command, I would need it to be spelled out for me
please. Thanks in advance.

dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86
(tab completion is nice, you can type dpkg-rec<TAB>, but you still have to spell
xserver-xfree86.)
