I've done Grml-Small v0.4 HD install, and now I want to install X to it. when I 'apt-get install grml-x', I was informed that 'acpid grml-autoconfig grml-etc hwinfo libhal1 libhd13 rungetty' packages will be installed.
The problem is the acpid:
Setting up acpid (1.0.4-7.1) ... Loading ACPI modules.... Starting Advanced Configuration and Power Interface daemon...acpid: invoke-rc.d: initscript acpid, action "start" failed.
As the consequence:
[...]
Q1: How can I overcome the "acpid: invoke-rc.d: initscript acpid, action "start" failed" problem?
Try:
chmod -x /etc/init.d/acpid apt-get install acpid
I continued on ("grml-x -force -nostart fluxbox"), but startx failed with font fixed not found. I used to solve such problem by installing xfonts-75dpi, but noticed that there is no such xfonts-75dpi packages any more. So,
Q2: How to solve the "font fixed not found" problem?
Do you have at least the packages xfonts-100dpi, xfonts-75dpi, xfonts-base and xserver-xorg installed?
