Hi all, I'm having an installation problem unfortunately.
I've been through the installation of Kubuntu (after selecting "install LMCE" on boot), clicked the "LinuxMCE" icon, and (very quickly) it's said to restart the system. However, after restart, I see the Kubuntu progress bar get to the end, but then it hangs when the bash login comes up. Logging in leaves me at the bash prompt. What do I do here? I cannot seem to get any further with the installation.
I have tried re-downloading the disc image (both times via torrent), and I have tried several times with and without activating the hardware drivers for the graphics card, but I keep ending up in the same place. All of the hardware is the same as my 0710 system, which always worked fine.
Any help would be much appreciated! Cheers.

I can't IMAGINE that this would make any difference, but here it goes...... On my 5th or 6th attempt, I didn't install any hardware drivers for the graphics or anything, but I DOUBLE-CLICKED the LMCE icon instead of single clicking - and the installation progressed properly. Surely that's not the reason? Is there a difference between single and double clicking in Kubuntu? Anyway, new set of problems now  I see Sarah flash up for a second (no AV wizard!), and then the screen turns into a weird flashy white spiral (stop me if I'm getting too technical here). Going to try again in a minute with installed hardware drivers for graphics card now; will let you know how it goes. |

Yep, same here, 152 errors on both images that I downloaded (2nd one on slowest burn speed).
However, I don't think that this matters... as I am writing this from my new 0810 beta installation! Installing hardware drivers for the graphics card seemed to do the trick (KDE Menu -> Applications -> System -> Hardware Drivers) before double-clicking(!) the LMCE icon on the desktop.

The software sources are not configured properly. Did you run "sudo apt-get update" before running "sudo apt-get install {whatever}"? What are the contents of /etc/apt/sources.list? |

Select your resolution, then give it a reset - seemed to work for me. |

If you see above line in your sources.list change it to deb http://www.avenard.org/files/ubuntu-repos/ intrepid release testing and do an apt-update and apt-upgrade for the avenard repo "release" is always required HTH Tim |
