Hi, I thought I'd experiment with fluxbox as my window manager and installed a bunch of suggested packages.
This broke my X server. When rebooting, gdm failed to start; I got a message about missing a font for 'cursor'. installing xcursor-themes fixed my system. Regardless of whether this package is claimed to not compatible with xorg 7.0. it still exists in the repository. Whether the software doesn't work for the latest X server is peripheral to this bug: it's whether dependencies are met. Making xcursor-themes a dependency installs the necessary update- alternatives option. Please fix this so other users don't have a nasty shock when restarting X11. -- cant install artwiz-cursor package in breezy..showing a "subprocess pre-installation script returned error exit status 2" https://launchpad.net/bugs/4211 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
