After installing the Angstrom console image, how does one go about installing packages to enable xserver? I got to a point where X would try to start and then it says no screen found. I've searched everywhere and found no answer.
Thank you. p.s. I know it's easier to install the X image, but I have a reason for wanting to install the base. |

The only relevant message I found is
http://lists.linuxtogo.org/pipermail/angst...une/000300.html and it does not answer my question. I don't want to reflash with the x11 fs - I want to manually install required packages to get x11 up and running. p.s. as pointed out before, there is no search function for the archives (I suppose I could have googled the domain).

My points remain, it was discussed and answered a few times on the mailinglist, most recently *yesterday*, and if you had checked the news on the frontpage....

Sorry to beat the dead horse, but I still don't see an answer. I'm an intelligent person, yet I am struggling to find this...
Anyway, forget it. I'll try and figure it out. QUOTE(koen @ Jul 9 2007, 10:44 AM) My points remain, it was discussed and answered a few times on the mailinglist, most recently *yesterday*, and if you had checked the news on the frontpage....

http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/contact has 2 links in the bodytext, so you have 50% chance (practically even more, since the first link is the one you want).
The first news post on the frontpage links to the gmane version of the mailinglists which has... *drumroll* a search function To summarize: you want to consult the mailinglists (archives) for any questions, not any forum, as the contact page makes clear. |

A lot of people seems to have trouble to get this right. Maybe a link to the search function in the contact page would help ? Also, "support" could me more appropriate than "contact", even if it's not the main purpose of the mailing lists. |

For anyone that cares, the message that I have finally come to is here:
http://lists.linuxtogo.org/pipermail/angst...uly/000466.html The meat is: QUOTE # ipkg update Install the X server (specific to the C760 - See http://www.openembedded.org/repo/org.opene...chine/c7x0.conf ) # ipkg install xserver-kdrive-w100 From http://www.openembedded.org/filebrowser/or...kages/angstromI found out which are the packages needed for the X11 image # ipkg install task-base-extended angstrom-x11-base-depends angstrom-gpe-task-base angstrom-gpe-task-settings This will give you a fully working GPE environment. I'm about to try it before the gf gets home... then it's Resident Evil 4 time  QUOTE(koen @ Jul 9 2007, 12:56 PM) http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/contact has 2 links in the bodytext, so you have 50% chance (practically even more, since the first link is the one you want).

Result: Angstrom splash screen displays, then gpe-dm tries to start (or maybe it does), and them I'm dumped to the shell where it says "can't open display :0"
I installed xserver-kdrive There are other kdrive packages... maybe that wasn't the right one. QUOTE(dolcex @ Jul 9 2007, 02:44 PM) For anyone that cares, the message that I have finally come to is here:

The solution for Akita is:
# ipkg update # ipkg upgrade # ipkg install xserver-kdrive-fbdev # ipkg install task-base-extended angstrom-x11-base-depends angstrom-gpe-task-base angstrom-gpe-task-settings esd |

I'll update the Angstrom wiki entry. I notice that you added esd from what was originally recommended. What was the reason? thks |

I don't know why esd was required - but gpe-dm wouldn't start without it.
Seems that Angstrom sites are down at the moment....
