With regards, Morten O. Hansen The original thread has the subject: xserver-xorg install/configuration fails with "null value not permitted". -- Javier Search for xserver-xorg.postinst under /var. I tried the suggested fix and it works. The file is installed with the package. If you use aptitude, install the package, and after several trials of the installation, search for the postinst file. Edit it and then continue until the package get "C" indication. Then you can dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg. So you don't need to wait until the bug is fixed... The described procedure is the one I applied, and it worked pretty good... -- Javier -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I bet you'd find some answers in previous descussions. There was an attempt announced: http://www.braincells.com/debian/index.cgi/search/item=126 But it also specifies no help request, neither any support required. You might want to ask Jaldhar about his progress on this. Why Minix?Do you like kernel development?Minix just have an application in teaching Of course,it's good idea Since minix3, that's no longer true: http://www.minix3.org/ Quoting: "What Is MINIX 3? MINIX 3 is a new open-source operating system designed to be highly reliable, flexible, and secure. It is loosely based somewhat on previous versions of MINIX, but is fundamentally different in many key ways. MINIX 1 and 2 were intended as teaching tools; MINIX 3 adds the new goal of being usable as a serious system on resource-limited and embedded computers and for applications requiring high reliability" As you can see, it's no longer just an OS teaching tools. To me it sounds like the option while hurd-ng is still not converging to a uKernel decision. -- Javier -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
