Unable to boot new 15.0 install. (EUFI?)

Re: Installation problem

I think it may be a bit more complicated than that. I have what sounds like a similar problem and have tried many times. But my BIOS does support UEFI and I have a standard SATA drive on the PCI bus.

kde installation failed to match settings to display manager

I installed Salix 14.2 XFCE to a PC a couple of months ago. Gslapt was then used to install KDE, and the DM login screen was then used to set KDE as the default desktop.

KDEs 'System Settings' was then used to enable autologin. This failed to have any effect. A perusal of '/etc/kde/kdm/kdmrc ...

I do like this one. Alejandro had it basically right, but the lightening improved it. Not too 'busy' so items laid on it will be ...

Re: Can't get (e)udev rule to work.

.
'Shuffles back into forum with head hanging low, trying to look 'invisible'...
That got it. I corrected it, ran 'udevadm control --reload-rules && udevadm trigger' and a /dev/usb2nmea0 entry appeared. Duhhh.... How did I miss that? Thanks for your time, anyway.

Re: Can't get (e)udev rule to work.

Symlink not created.

I have just run ' grep -rnT 6001 *rule* ' & ' grep -rnT 6001 *rule* ' on the rules directories. Only the following showed up in addition to my entry, but it is commented out. Anyway I did check for '/dev/gps*' but no such entry is being created.

Re: Can't get (e)udev rule to work.

ATTRS changed to ATTR, and no change. Even after rebooting.

Do you know how udev would behave if just one statement in the rule was garbage? Would it carry on and process the statements that made sense, or ignore the rule totally?

Re: Can't get (e)udev rule to work.

Hi gapan,
The system has had a couple of weeks of rebooting since . I have tried the file in both directories, even simultaneously at times. (Yep, grasping at straws.)
