Try installing Kubuntu8.10 and then run the web installer like explained in the wiki: http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/LinuxMCE-0810_beta

I couldn't run the DVD version on my system also....

hope this helps a bit

@ mythtified:

How did you config your network card? I'm pretty new to Linux, so hopefully you can explain this for an idiot :-)

got the same problem, installed Kubuntu0810, ran the beta2 installer, did the reboot and made my setup in the avwizard. After rebooting it generates lots of stuff until it stops and I just have the mousepointer on the screen. I can open the console, but it can't get any connection when I make an apt-get update - I think my problem is similar to yours, I just don't know how to edit the files and what I need to write in my console....

Thanks so far

This may be a long shot but check your /etc/network/interface file.  My installation stopped in a similar fashion to what you are describing.  I came across some information in the wiki, unrelated to this, that mentioned that during the installation make sure that eth0 is your public facing network interface.  I checked my interface file and found that only the ip address was listed on eth0.  There was no gateway nor subnet mask listed plus the ip address was one from the range used on my routers dhcp server.  I edited the interface file and added the subnet mask and gateway information.  I then double checked the resolf.conf file to make sure it had at least one dns entry.  Once I did this I rebooted the machine and it finished the installation and the orbiter appeared.  I hope this works for you.

sounds like that solved anybodys problems here. I will reinstall beta2 again, and try this. I'm absolutely new to linux, can you give me a description what I have to type in my terminal or with what I can edit this file.

Thank you so far - maybe someone can add this to the beta2 wiki??? Just in case of a failed installation.

Couldn't get it to work with internet installation also.

Seems to install everything fine, I even can run the AV Wizzard, but after rebooting all I get is a grey screen with the mouse pointer..... anybody has similar Problems?

I had trouble installing from DVD also. Since today the new installer file is online - so I will try installing beta2 via web, like explained here:

http://wiki.linuxmce.com/index.php/LinuxMCE-0810_beta

hope this works better with my machine now. Can't wait to have this system running.

I can confirm that. 24 hours ago there was still the old installer file online. I will try the new one instead!

I also tried to install the beta2 from DVD. Got this yesterday via torrent. Burned the .iso image but it brings many errors. Not sure if this is my DVD-drive or the .iso file. Thats why I tried installing via web again. :-(

I have the same problem. How can I manually install pluto-avwizard and other stuff? Linux is pretty new to me. What are the commands to do that?

tnx
