no kde, xserver installed...

[cider]

i'm new to kubuntu so i apologize if thats already beeing answered and just give me a pointer to read....

i just (tried) to install drapper drake. since this is a notebook
without cdrom, i downloaded the installer from the hd-media directory
as well as the drapper 6 iso image. after installation, i login in into the
console, but nothing happens... no second stage installation for the graphical stuff...

what am i doing wrong ?

thx in advance

Re: no kde, xserver installed...

hmm...
what is ur laptop config? do post it here...

but by the thumb, why not try

$sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg

followed by

$sudo startx

if it says XServer already up and running, then try a reboot...

Hi,

I'm not sure how to do it because I was never in a case like this.
I think you should just type :
sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
and it will install all needed xorg files and kde...

Hope it helped

Yes. This works. But apt-get will complain about kubunutu-docs not being configured, no matter how many times you attempt to install kubuntu-docs or kubuntu-desktop.

i think what sky says will probably work out in cider's lappy...

Re: no kde, xserver installed...

gentlemen,
thx for all your replys.

in the meantime i found the "setup-task" in aptidude myself and as sky predicted, this
installed all the necessary files.

is this due to the alpha status of dapper ? is there any place to report that as bug ?
i mean if i hadn't had so much good experiences with breezy in the short time i played/used it, i would have just wiped out my hd. this is not what linux newbies want to see or do...

can't remebmer where, but i had the same problem as ralvy with the kubuntu-doc packages...

yet another question... i installed the eclipse-cdt package which put about 200MB !!! on my hd.
i.e. it installed jdt, mozilla, tomcat and a lot of other, (unneeded?) stuff. come on ! i just wanted the platfrom and the cdt plugin not the eclipse sdk! anyway i deciced to uninstall eclipse again, but it will only remove the eclipse and not the mozilla and tomcat etc... how can i enforce that all packages will be (recursiv) removed ? btw, i tried this with the adeptpackage-manager and used "remove" and "purge"


thx again for your help.

apology if anything above sounds rude... i didn't want to offend anyone in this great community here
