Snapshot 23559 taking more than 5 hours to install
« on: January 17, 2011, 01:54:30 am »
KDE installed in a matter of 30 mins or so.  After I did the update and upgrade, then ran the LMCE ICON, install has been going for over 5 hours and counting, is that normal ?

Hi Bongowongo,

i have finished downloading the snapshot in question.. has the Nvidia issue been resolved in this snapshot or do i still need to follow the solution outlined in other posts ?

Justdeb - don't think any of these fixes/work-arounds have been incorporated as I am re-installing now and getting the same with the latest snapshot 23625.  Still working on it.

FYI,

I used the 23616 snapshot, and I was able to complete my installation. The only problem I noticed was that the DHCP server wasn't configured with a range of IP's to distribute. Beyond that, everything appears to be good.

Thanks for checking the DCHP problem, noticed it in 1004.

Hi Rukus,

i have just finished the install and updates, but have not run the linuxmce icon yet. Did you change the nvidia script before or after you ran the linuxmce icon?

Regards
Justin

I didn't have to change anything, everything just worked as normal. I just clicked on the linuxmce file on the Desktop, and rebooted.

Hi Rukus,

Many thanks.... i will just reinstall the dvd and just run the linuxmce icon. By the sounds of it a number of bugs have been resolved.

So, one is supposed to have the system connected to the internet and run apt-get update & upgrade before clicking the LMCE icon?!
