Here's my how-to for everyone out there...

[cirion]

More key points I've found:  do not install any updates, let linuxmce do that for you...
install automatix after, worked great for me..

Trying that approach now... Gave up on 7.04.

After many installs I was finally able to get the networking straight and with BOTH network cards:

- Clean Ubuntu install
- Ubuntu Updates
- Set Networks

1. Static (Internet - ADSL Gateway and WLAN Router)
2. DHCP Server (Linux MCE)

- Install MCE (i worked out for 2 hours during this time)
- Reboot
- Start MCE (went shopping and came back 2 hours later)

And you know what? I got the WIZARD....sniff, sniff...so happy.

- Set the Wizard preferences
- Grey Screen (oh noooo!)

Change the User Interface, reboot, start MCE, eat dinner

What's next?

Out of curiosity, what hardware do you have? Did you configure as a core or hybrid?

Do you have any wireless network adapters/routers or wired only? If wireless, how did you configure wireless during installation, or after?

I did not see your prior post in this thread, and would love to know what you did, what equipment you had used, and what configuration options you chose.

Thanks in advance for your anticipated response.

the best way to see what is happening is to watch the DCERouter.log. i will appreciate if you can post the log.

This is the configuration:

- Pentium Processor 1.5 GHz
- ATI Graphic Card
- 40GB HDD
- 512mb RAM
- Sound on board
- 2 different OEM Network cards

I am a newby to Linux - so if there is some diganostic program to get the hardware data/configuration, let me know!

Good luck.

I just moved my Hybrid to another room and have to shop for some new wlan hardware. As soon as I get it back up I'll post the log.

@rmwlaw

Hybrid installation
Keep Network settings
Allow DHCP Network and respective default settings

Cheers
