[imported_neophyte]

Hiya, i have installed Backtrack 2 from the Live CD to my HDD and after logging in and running xconf then startx
i get this error
"xauth: /lib/tls/libc.so.6: version 'GLIBC_2.4' not found (required by xauth)"
any ideas on where i go from here?

This problem can be caused by a faulty install to the HDD

What method did you use.

i used the installer in the KDE menu under system backtrack installer i didnt put anything in the top field selected /mnt/hda3 (2nd patition i think mabey a swap partition in there somewhere) in the second and /dev/hda in the third and then pressed install and all seemed okay

I would follow this video, it is for dual boot but you can easily adapt it if you only need it for BT2

If you follow this transcript along with it you will find it easier (especially as it points out the error at around the 9min mark

If you try this I am sure your problem will be solved.

You were not told of by me.. I was merely reminding you of them.

If you keep the basics in order then everything else usually follows

All working now that i used the manual method of install, thanks balding_parrot. although there are some discrepancies in the movie somewhere in there he types cp /boot/boot/vmlinuz but all good now.

That's why I say to follow the transcript where they are pointed out.

Great to hear It works, well done.

MY ADVICE ROCKS !!!!
