First steps after installation.
So you have managed to get past the first `native-install` runs in single-user
mode?
Time to get to work.
[[toc ]]
### Get Networking Running
[[Network]].
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
In order to use DHCP, you need to install the `dhcp-client` package and run `dhclient eth0` etc.
# 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.debian-ports.org/debian unreleased main
deb-src http://ftp.debian-ports.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, get root in a login shell (`su -`).
Installing packages without having a network connection is described
[[Distrib/DebianAptOffline]].
# [[translator/Random]]
You often need `scp` and `ssh`. There is now a `random-egd` package available which uses
a random translator by Ryan Hunter and the entropy gathering daemon as entropy source.
See [[Translator/random]] for more information.
# [[Console]]
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/xorg.conf]
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.
# What about package XYZ?
See if you can find a useful tip in [[package_troubleshooting]].
