Ok, I've done a network install of beta2.5. I basically followed the steps exactly as written here
http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/Installing_0810
Only thing I changed is I installed the nvidia driver using the gnome install dameon. Anyway, after rebooting, I get a cycle of endless reboots. It makes it past the beeps, but the screen resets too fast for me to see anything. I had to take a video of the process in order to see the message. Here's what I see. The video is a bit blurry, so I might have some typos.
kinit: no resume image, doing normal boot...
Error 2002 (a # i can't read) can't connect to local MYSQL server through socket...
Ok, that seems to be the main message I get. It then says "All MDs are down. Continuing." Any help guys? also, I just discovered that the torrent is now fixed. I will definitely be trying that method too if this doesn't work out.
I'm getting the same problem off the DVD install
I'm seeing the same MySQL message, but I can't make out what exactly it's saying. I performed both the DVD install using the instructions on the wiki, and I also tried the net install. Both seem to be problematic. I'm going to be doing more troubleshooting.
**Update**: I saw the following thread that I think may be useful.
