Wotcha.
With many others I was having the problem of a "DIST-UPGRADE" wanting
to remove my working kernels.
Using the apt-get optin of "UPGRADE" did not do this.
I suspect that my sources.list entries were the problem, so I commented
out all except TESTING and SECURITY:
# deb file:///cdrom/ sarge main extra local
### BEGIN DEMUDI
# these lines were automatically edited by demudi-base, don't touch!
# aGNUla/DeMuDi APT repository, should be enough for most people
# deb http://apt.agnula.org/demudi/ testing main local extra
# deb http://demudi.agnula.org/packages/demudi/ stable main
deb http://demudi.agnula.org/packages/demudi/ testing main
# deb http://demudi.agnula.org/packages/demudi/ 1.3.0 main
### END DEMUDI
### BEGIN DEBIAN SOURCES
# official Debian archives
deb http://security.debian.org/ stable/updates main contrib non-free
# deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian/ stable main contrib non-free

# the whole Debian pool
# deb http://snapshot.debian.net/archive/2004/07/14/debian/ testing
main contrib non-free
### END DEBIAN SOURCES
Doing this created a "DIST-UPGRADE" that DID NOT try to remove my
kernels. Exception to a viable "DIST-UPGRADE" is that it seemed to
remove anything that began with "demudi-", such as "demudi-recording"
et al.
So at the moment I appear to have a demudi free system...lol.
I also have experienced the issue of not being able to log in as a
regular user, only as root. My username is listed int he selection box
for Gnome, and I am prompted for a password, but I am returned to the
login screen in a few seconds time.
I remember during the upgrade I was told to manually add users to a
group called "users", for what now I don't remember. I did so, and
still no joy. I can still only log in as root.
So, my current questions would be:
1. Did I do right by changing my sources.list file to the current
configuration?
2. How do I get my users able to log in to Gnome?
3. How do I restore demudi?
Thanks for the help.
Cheers.
