Re: Upgrade from Sarge to Etch problems

Hello again,

I've managed to fix most of the problems, it seems there was some trouble
with some packages that were installed (like fglrx-driver and
nspluginwrapper) that
had some dependency conflicts that prevented gdm and some other programs to
work correctly (I was in the middle of the upgrade). The minimal install
comment
was from the release notes, they call one of the steps that way, it was an
upgrade. The problem I have now is with eth0 and eth1. There was only one
eth (eth0) before
the upgrade. I read the part that said that udev could rename the
interfaces, but the fact is that I don't recall reading anything about
adding a new interface, so I'm looking
into it.

With the Network Connection applet there is another issue: it says
SIOCGIFFLAGS error: No such device (I'm not really sure what device it's
talking about anyway)
and it mentions contacting my system administrator (read: me).

Doug:

I don't really understand what you mean when you talk about reconfiguring
debconf (if by that you mean #dpkg-reconfigure debconf) and using redline or
what you said about a serial console (if you could elaborate I'd be very
grateful).

Thanks
