[parisc-linux] missing tasksel option 'x-window system' on parisc box

[Jörg Benndorf]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 262 bytes --]

I got the six cd iso files using jigdo. After installation tasksel offers no option to install the x window system.
Is there a howto document covering this issue -or- would someone mind to help me get x runnning on a 712 box.
Anyone to help? Thanks, Joerg.

Thank you for your hint but this doesn't seem to work - always prompts
"unmet dependencies" / "is not going to be installed" / "is not
installable".
Any other idea or am i missing an apt http/ftp source?

I am using ftp.belnet.be as source (no CDs) and doing apt-cache search
window returns x-window-system, so it should work. Anyways, I think
"x-window-system" is a virtual package. So you should be able to install all
it's sub-components manually. Such as xserver-common, ... .

Even if i use ftp.belnet.be as a single source my system does not allow me
to install x-window-system.
So i tried to get xserver-common - success! So i have to look for all
packages needed to run x...
Hopefully i will find them inside the x-howto.
Thank you again for your help.
Joerg.

The problem is that the package "fvwm" is in "x-window-system". But 
"fvwm" depend on the package "menu" which (i think) is not avaible for 
debian/stable. Either you are struggling with "apt" to force the 
installation with unmet dependencies or you use debian/testing. There is 
a "menu"-package.
I hope it helps,
