Installing X in Grml-Small0.4 HD install
Hi,
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:
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of grml-autoconfig: grml-autoconfig depends on acpid | apmd; however: Package acpid is not configured yet. Package apmd is not installed. dpkg: error processing grml-autoconfig (--configure): dependency problems - leaving unconfigured dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of grml-etc: grml-etc depends on grml-autoconfig; however: Package grml-autoconfig is not configured yet. dpkg: error processing grml-etc (--configure): dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of grml-x: grml-x depends on grml-etc (>= 0.5-20); however: Package grml-etc is not configured yet. Errors were encountered while processing: acpid grml-autoconfig grml-etc grml-x
Q1: How can I overcome the "acpid: invoke-rc.d: initscript acpid, action "start" failed" problem?
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?
thanks

Do you have at least the packages xfonts-100dpi, xfonts-75dpi, xfonts-base and xserver-xorg installed?

No, that gives me the same error message as well. In fact, I found that the /etc/init.d/acpid already has the a-x mode. While trying to find what's wrong, I've tried the following but all failed:
invoke-rc.d acpid start /etc/init.d/acpid start
Tracing into /etc/init.d/acpid, I noticed that it is this code that returns error:
start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --exec /usr/sbin/acpid -- -c \ /etc/acpi/events -s /var/run/acpid.socket
Any idea?
Oh, forgot to mention, I'm testing within vmware.

That fixed the problem. Thanks!

a-x? The script should *not* have any execution bits set so the 'if [ -x "/etc/init.d/acpid" ]; then' from /var/lib/dpkg/info/acpid.p* does not match.
Are you really sure you executed my lines above? Please provide output of:
ls -la /etc/init.d/acpid apt-get install acpid

For sure, cause your system (VMware) wants to prevent you from using something that doesn't make any sense. ;)

Forget powermanagement inside VMware. :)

Oh, I thought the acpid is used for monitor/display driver detection.
Then, can we break up the following dependency somewhere, so that grml-etc/grml-x etc can be successfully installed/configured under VMware plz? Maybe grml-autoconfig suggests (not depends on) acpid/apmd?

Definitely no.

I'm not yet sure whether that's what I want, but I'll think about that.
Just use 'chmod -x /etc/init.d/acpid' and keep acpid installed inside your VMware virtual machine in the meanwhile.

Oh, no, that's not necessary any more.

Please forgive my silliness. I totally misunderstood what the script was for by then.

YEP! that'd do the trick. So breaking up the dependency is not necessary any more.
All problem solved. Thanks a lot!
