Ubuntu 8.10 end of life breaks installer

[ghope5]

Myth tv was giving me some problems from snapshot 23479, recorded tv was not showing up
in the Video file. It seemed to work because now I can see my list of recorded programs and delete
when I have watched them. I am now useing  snapshot 23559  this is a learning exercise for me I am
testing random snapshots  to get experence with the 810 version, setting up myth ect.

I installed the dec5 snapshot DVD but I also build the MD image. THEN I rebooted and got stuck in an endless reboot loop. I have had an earlier version of linuxmce 8.10 installed that worked just fine on this system. anyone had this problem and is there a solution to it? Also I got a lot of 404 errors... :/


I 've had the same reboot problem. while booting it tries to install new graphic driver (in my case Nvidia-glx-260) using apt-get install but it cant. In /usr/pluto/bin/nvidia-install.sh comment out reboot.

I am a Linux noob and have been fighting with these issues for the last few days.  Finally, on the 5th install of the software I was able to get it working.  Here were the steps I followed:

I used a combination of the following sources:

http://linuxmce.iptp.org/snapshots/LinuxMCE-8.10-23388-i386.iso

Trial & Error

1.  Download and burn the latest 3.8GB .iso from snapshots site.
2.  Boot w/ the DVD and choose the last option: Install LinuxMCE
3.  Once in Kubuntu, replace the /etc/apt/sources.list file with the one posted by attunezero.
4.  Run the update commands: sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
4.  Download the following command to get new-installer file: wget -c http://deb.linuxmce.org/ubuntu/new-installer-latest.tar.gz
5.  Run this command to unpack it: tar xvf new-installer-latest.tar.gz
6.  Run: cd new-installer
7.  Run the following commands IN ORDER:
./pre-install-from-repo.sh
./mce-install.sh
./post-install.sh

After a reboot, you should get the A/V Wizard.

Good Luck all!!
