| Post subject: | Install xmacro, system stops booting |
Greetings! On my previous installations of KnoppMyth (some R5A30 version) I used xmacroplay-keys (part of xmacro) to simulate escape to the current window when I pressed exit on my remote, this way I could exit programs such as zsnes with the remote. I decided to upgrade to R5C7. That installation is great. I add the testing/unstable archives to my sources.list and install xmacro with apt. When I reboot, the system hangs and never does anything. I connected a monitor and this is what I see: pages of: "mount: Device or resource busy", then: /linuxrc: Out of file descriptors /etc/init: Out of file descriptors Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! And then the system is toast. I've reinstalled four times, and the system just craps out after the install of xmacro. What can I do to make xmacro work without problems, or is there another suggestion for rigging my remote's exit key to be escape in all programs (without adding each to lircrc)? Thanks |

If you're going to use apt-get it's strongly recommended that you use the stable repositories. See my R5C7 upgrade hints for details. Also, do not use the -y option. You really want to look at the list of dependancies which it's proposing to install or remove and make an informed choice. Sometimes the correct choice is "Yikes! No way!"

Thanks! I added only your recommended apt sources, and downloading the .deb from debian.org, that didn't require libc6, which might have been causing the problems |
