Hallo @ all!
I know this isn't the right place 4 linux stuffs but, hey, here
@ MZone I feel @ home
I have succeffully downloaded the first cd ISO image of Debian Sarge 2.6.8 and I've installed it in my Peggy. The problem is that I'm not able to run Xwindow. During the base config
I also selected to install XWin packages in aptitude, then I've installed also KDE.
I launch XF86config w/o problems to create the config file but when I try startx I get a message similar to this: "No X server in path...".
It seems to me that something is missing in the installation. Does any1 can tell me what I'm doing wrong? Must I download also other cd ISO iamges or must I configure something else to have X running?
Thanx in advance for your help guys!

Give me link where I can download linux debian? tks

Hello maurensen,

you don't have /usr/X11/bin in the path. Make sure that the following lines are in ~/.profile:

PATH=/usr/X11/bin:$PATH
export PATH

Also the DISPLAY variable should be set. You can check this with "echo $DISPLAY". If an empty line is returned, the variable is not set and you have to write two more lines to ~/.profile:

DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0.0
export DISPLAY

Finally check out, that the ~/.profile is used at login time. Therefore anentry like this should be found in /etc/profile:

if [ -f $HOME/.profile ]; then
source $HOME/.profile
fi

Hope this will help you.

Greetings, psd

Thanx psd,
I've tried your suggestions but X doesn't want to start...
In global path always had /usr/bin/X11 and I added entries in profile
but I get always the same error message: X not found.
I also noticed I haven't .xinitrc & .xserverc files...
In the 1st debian CD some package related to X is missing?
Maybe I should download the 2nd ISO image or is a config problem?
Bah, it seems I'm very unluky with my l*nux installations ad in my YDL4.0 the sound from internal Peg chip is corrupted and under debian I can't have X to work Lukily MOS works OK!!!

@yashin71,

i've installed this image:

http://cdimage.debian.org/pub/cdimage-testing/sarge_d-i/powerpc/current/sarge-powerpc-netinst.iso

and then installed additional packages from cd.

Hmm, i have no peg an no debian here right now, but i think the needed packages should be in the netinst.iso.
Did you check the rights of the X server (/usr/X11/bin/X is a link to the server)? It should be rws--x--x if I remember correctly.

Thanx 4 the reply psd!
Unfortunately I don't remeber which image I've dowloaded for install, I'll try to re-download your link and try to install the rest of packages via the CD ISO image.
& yes, the problem is that no has been created to X server but the X11 directory full of files exists.
I don't understend why during package installation the X link was not created by the installer itself...

@Maurensen
I had the same trouble when I installed only the 1st CD, then I repeated the installation using the 1, 2 and 3d cd and all it's ok now.

@ossian 1961
Thanx 4 the tip, I'll try to download the other 2 CDs and I'll reinstall Debian.

Grazie mille ancora della dritta, spero alla fine di riuscire a far funzionare debain xkè con YDL ho problemi di corruzione dell'audio. Spero nel fine settimana di riuscire a fare il download.

@Others
thanx 4 the replies, I hope to have some spare time in this week-end & try all your suggestions!
10x!

Here I'm again!
Thanx to Ossian I've downloaded the other 2 cds from debian distro and now I'm posting from my Peg running X win under debian!
Thanx again!

Glad to hear that. I use debian to connect 'cause I can't be able to use MiamiDX with my ADSL ethernet modem in MOS.

Why aren't you able to connect via MOS??
I have Alice ADSL internet connection and works great under MOS!

I have Tiscali ADSL connection via ethernet( no via USB) but I don't know how configure MiamiDX then I think I must configure the eth port with DHCP but I don't know how. Have you an ethernet or usb modem?

I have an ethernet connection that works with MIAMI. If you want I can send you my config so you can try with your username & password. I think it should work also with Tiscali.

per provare ti posso mandare la mia config ma hai miami deluxe. Se non ce l'hai scrivimi in privato qui su MZ xkè la posta non la scarico molto spesso.

Grab yourself a router - you won't regret it.

You'll get easy connectivity to your Peg (be it with Miami using DHCP or Genesis with static LAN ip), a good firewall and some connectivity for several devices within your LAN.

I can recommend the smc 4007 barricade. It' s ~35 EUR and comes with 4 ports, a firewall, DHCP and more. But I guess most of these devices today offer a satisfying service.

@maurensen
I have MiamiDX but I don't know how to config it, if you can send me yr config I'll try it with Tiscali.
