- When the system boots it attempts to connect to the network through
eth0. This is fine when I'm on campus and plugged into the network, but when I'm at home it adds about a minute onto the bootup time and achieves nothing (I've not network at home). Is there a way of making this optional at bootup?
I have actually done this but for the life of me I cannot remember how you do it. So all I can say is that it is definitely possible lots of help I know
- One of the packages didn't configure properly at installation time:
noflushd. I tried # dpkg-reconfigure noflushd and got this:
debconf: unable to initialize frontend: Kde debconf: (Can't locate Qt.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/perl/5.8.3 /usr/local/share/perl/5.8.3 /usr/lib/perl5 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/perl/5.8 /usr/share/perl/5.8 /usr/local/lib/site_perl .) at /usr/share/perl5/Debconf/FrontEnd/Kde/Wizard.pm line 7.) debconf: falling back to frontend: Dialog /usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure: noflushd is broken or not fully installed
The error message suggests that your perl is missing Qt modules. First I'd run your prefered debian apt front end and see if there are any perl Qt packages to install. I used to use dselect but on X there are nicer ones. If you cannot find any you should be able to use CPAN to install the Qt module into perl. Something along these lines: As root do: # perl -MCPAN -e shell cpan> install Qt ..... ..... cpan>quit
Then you can try running the reconfigure again. It is best if you can install it as a debian package as there may be library dependancies that the CPAN install may fail to observe or fail on.
Best of luck
