+ +%TOC% + +## First steps after Install. + +So you have managed to get past the first ./native-install runs in single-user mode? + +Time to get to work. + +### [[Hurd/GetNetworkRunning]] + +Check if your NIC was detected by GNU Mach: + + # devprobe eth0 + +_devprobe_ (run as user _root_) will print _eth0_ on successful detection. If it doesn't, your NIC was not detected correctly. You can then try to do the following (also as user _root_) for getting details: + + # cat /dev/klog > ~/klog + [Wait a second, then press `Ctrl-C'.] + +Now examine the _~/klog_ file. + +If the NIC was detected: + + # settrans -fgap /servers/socket/2 /hurd/pfinet -i eth0 -a 192.168.1.3 -g 192.168.1.1 -m 255.255.255.0 + +### Setup grub + +You surely want grub to have a nice menu entry able to boot GNU, instead of typing a boring arcane. There are Debian-specific scripts that may help you. See the [[GrubNotes]] for this. + +### Setup apt-get + +Sometimes getting apt-get to work is not straightforward. Good mirrors to put in `/etc/apt/sources.list` are (as of Jan 2007): + + deb http://mirrors.kernel.org/debian unstable main contrib + deb-src http://mirrors.kernel.org/debian unstable main contrib + deb http://ftp.gnuab.org/debian unreleased main + deb-src http://ftp.gnuab.org/debian unreleased main + +apt-get update a couple of times if some file fails to download. + +If when doing your first apt-get, dpkg complains of missing programs, [try to cheat it this way](http://lists.debian.org/debian-hurd/1999/05/msg00187.html): + + # ln -s /sbin/ldconfig /bin/ldconfig + # ln -s /bin/true /bin/update-rc.d + # ln -s /bin/true /bin/start-stop-daemon + # ln -s /bin/true /bin/install-info + # ln -s /bin/true /bin/update-alternatives + +Installing packages without having a network connection is described [[Distrib/DebianAptOffline]]. + +### [[Hurd/RandomDevice]] + +You often need scp and ssh. Sadly the Debian GNU/Hurd does not come with any default random package installed. See [[Hurd/RandomDevice]] for details, the following is just a quick recap. + + cd && mkdir tmp && cd tmp + wget http://kilobug.free.fr/hurd/random-64.tar.gz + tar xvfz random-64.tar.gz + cp random /hurd/ + + settrans -c /dev/random /hurd/random \ + --seed-file /var/run/random-seed --secure + settrans -c /dev/urandom /hurd/random \ + --seed-file /var/run/urandom-seed --fast + chmod 0644 /dev/random /dev/urandom + + apt-get install ssh + +### [[Hurd/HurdConsole]] + +The latest Hurd package in Debian, plus the /native-install script, creates all necessary device nodes and other magic. You just need to edit /etc/default/hurd-console to tune the parameters and tell it to start at bootup. + +You can also call the Hurd console manually with the proper arguments: + + console -d vga -d pc_kbd --repeat=kbd -d pc_mouse --repeat=mouse \ + -d generic_speaker -c /dev/vcs + + cd /dev + ln -s cons/kbd . + ln -s cons/mouse . + +### [[Hurd/DebianXorg]] + +You first must have setup the virtual console. See above. + +Assuming you've installed WindowMaker and have tried running startx already: + + [/etc/X11/XF86Config-4] + + Section "Module" + # Load "dri" + # Load "speedo" + . + . + . + EndSection + + Section "InputDevice" + Identifier "Configured Mouse" + Driver "mouse" + Option "CorePointer" + Option "Device" "/dev/mouse" + Option "Protocol" "osmouse" + EndSection + +Make sure not to have the "Emulate3Buttons" and "ZAxisMapping" settings set, as they lead to problems with e.g. dragging windows around. + + [/etc/profile] + LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/X11R6/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH + +### What about package XYZ? + +See if you can find a useful tip in [[PackageTroubleshooting]]. + +-- [[Main/JoachimNilsson]] - 17 Apr 2005 + +How about making an afterinstall man page � la !OpenBSD afterboot man page? Anyone could easily convert the current text into an afterinstall.8 page. If nobody else feels up to it I could do it. + +-- [[Main/JoachimNilsson]] - 22 Jul 2005 -- cgit v1.2.3
