Hi All

Well I managed to get Ubuntu on the Fujitsu Amelo D-7830 I needed to
add *acpi=off pnpbios=off* after running all the updates (107 of them)
with a hopeful glee like a six year old on Christmas day I started the
Beryl install process.

1st up is xgl-server "Go on my son" sudo apt-get install xgl-server

Wait for it... apt-get "Get stuffed xgl-server requires libc6 2.4.1
but 2.3.0 is to be installed, unmet dependencies" I know says /me,
I'll enable backports, world, universe and anything else I can find.

(Mr Bavige sound from Family Fortunes) bhaaaarp bhaaaarp "dependancies"

Alright I'll google for it, apparently libc6 is twenty gazillion light
years ahead of everyone so Ubuntu thinks its really cool to stick it
in the update tree.

Maybe I could downgrade but;
1. I don't know how
2. I can't be arsed to learn .deb, dpkg, aptitude and whole deluge of
other stuff.
3. Have wasted enough time without sitting on the web for 10 hours
trying to find the correct libc6 then struggling with apt/aptitude
getting the dam thing installed.

I only installed Ubuntu because it has the very latest Beryl stuff but
I may go back to being two months behind with Beryl releases and
install opensuse instead.

Its so much easier with rpm :-p
