jessie net-inst plus repository packages messed up #10

Closed lustremedia closed 8 years ago

lustremedia commented 8 years ago

Hi I installed a fresh net-inst 8.3 jessie base system, then used the repository method to get bunsen on the machine. However I do not see any tabs neither is there any sign of conky or terminator, just a blank desktop image. right click menu works but there are also only a view items on there, and no browser (error when trying to open) I must add that I have not installed any meta packages. Is this normal?

The system seems to be crippled.

Would you recomend to use this script to maybe ease the pain?

Hi lustremedia, at present there are no BunsenLabs metapackages, and it looks as if you are missing the default set of needed packages.

If all you have done so far is to install a Debian Jessie netinstall and add the BunsenLabs packages then, yes, the netinstall script is one option. I would suggest perhaps first removing the BL packages you have installed so far and removing the BL repository entries you have added, get back to a "clean" netinstall and run the script from there.

Alternatively, the two files pkgs-norecs and pkgs-recs contain a list of what you need - you could just install them manually on your current system and reboot.

Thanks for the answer John. I ran the netinstall script after removing all packages but it failed utterly and did not give me a virtuous netinstall. Thus I went through a new install then used the netinstall script and then the system came up nice and crisp. Works great and I am writing from the bunsen as of now, and I love it!

Glad it worked out for you!
