Guest spoody_goon Posted October 3, 2004 Report Share Posted October 3, 2004 I upgraded from 10 official to 10.1 CE and I forgot to set up the graphics server before finishing and not I don't have a connection to x server. Is there a way to get to x-server set up without having to go through the update again? Maybe by using the rescue disk? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ixthusdan Posted October 4, 2004 Report Share Posted October 4, 2004 Boot to the commandline, log in, su to root, type "mcc", and you'll have a pseudo graphic access to the Mandrake Control Center, from which you can configure your graphics section. (It may be MCC, all caps. I'm not in linux at the moment!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest sasmu Posted October 6, 2004 Report Share Posted October 6, 2004 I have a similar problem, but XFdrake can't seem to install the packages. It seems to be timing out. My guess is it's the proxy setting (or lack there of). I tried setting them with drakproxy but that seemed to have no effect. How do I find out what packages I need to install?

What's more likely is that your server (if your grabbing from ftp) is fully loaded and won't allow any more connections when you try. This happens to me w/ carroll. as a matter of fact, i can usually only get stuff from it in the night time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
