quint Posted May 4, 2004 Share Posted May 4, 2004 Hi all,Well, I wanted to do something "bold & daring" (aka stupid), so I installed the "2.6.5-5tex" kernel in "PCLOSv5"; after tackling one dependency issue after another, I finally managed to get it installed, and configured, properly. Internet works, sound is a minor issue, it's quite fast, and everything works well...except - I now do not have any "konsole", "xterm", or "terminal" of any kind, when logged-in as "quint"! I do, however, if I log-in as "root". Any ideas, help, input, will be most appreciated.I'm just glad that I kept the "2.4.23-2.tmb.2mdk" kernel. I did find out something interesting: the "PCLOS LILO", will only allow 28 distros'. TIA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teacher Posted May 4, 2004 Share Posted May 4, 2004 Can you add them back in at the MCC? Can you handle the 28 limitation? Dare I ask how you discovered this one? :DJulia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruno Posted May 4, 2004 Share Posted May 4, 2004 Hi QuintFrom what I understand the 2.6.5-4 and 2.6.5-5 tex kernels had some problems . . . . :(What if you do Alt+F2 and try to start "konsole" from the "run-box" ? Or using synaptic to uninstall Xterm ( not konsole ) and install it again, finishing off with a "update-menus -v" ?Here is what I found on the 2.6.5-5 kernel: kernel 2.6.5-2texstar, with the two latest releases 2.6.5-4Tex and 2.6.5-5Tex I got very low framerates and no hardware acceleration. And a bit later: I'm writing this from my PCLOS desktop running Phoenix kernel-2.6.6-rc3 It works for me too , 3D acceleration and all. BrunoPS: I would be hesitating using the Lilo from a beta to boot all the distros on my drive . . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have tried what you said, but no luck yet; it's just strange that logging in as "root", and it works fine. Oh, well, it was an interesting experiment for me...the "2.4.23 kernel" is fine, either as "root" or "quint"...I'll stick with that. Thanks again for your help. I wonder if I apply the "patch" to "2.6.6-rc3 kernel", if that would help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can't be a permission problem . . . nor a modules issue . . . . give it some time, either I come up with an idea, either there will be a new updfate that corrects the problem ( Or PV6 :'( )The 2.6.6-rc3 might be a good idea . . . : w00t: Bruno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After some gardening/composting chores, I'm going to re-compile this kernel, just to see what happens. Julia quote:It's all a big experiment anyway, right???
