Title: Cancel the Wizard?
Post by: brononius on September 23, 2009, 10:51:43 am

Hey,

Just tried to install LinuxMCE 7.10 on a 1HU server.

The installation started well, just a 'bug' when he tries to find the right BIOS drivers. But a few moments later, he tells me that the installation is finished. So i reboot then the machine, and the wizard starts.

In here, i select 1024 x 768 for my screen resolutions (works great) and no audio.
Then Sarah (?) comes to tell me congratulation. But since i don't have audio, i don't hear her...  :P
But then i tried to say next, and nothing happens. Cancel the wizard gives the same result. When i hit a bunch of keys, sometimes the 'admin window' of linux comes up. But later on, back in the wizard.
I tried to reboot it several times (2 times), but same result, back in the wizard.
Maybe an issue is that the buttons (next, cancel, repeat...) aren't on the right, but more in the middle. At first sight i want to see that the resolution isn't correctly lined up? So maybe i just push next to the buttons (i actually try that also)...


Any idea how i can bypass her? Sorry Sarah...

Since this machine will be used as a server somewhere in a cabinet, i don't need to have video/audio/... things on it. Or i'm a wrong?



Some things about the hardware:
- CPU: P IV 2,5
- Memory: 4GB
- Disks: 2x72GB SCSI RAID
- Audio: none
- Video: ATI Rage XL SVGA

You NEED to have a sound card for 710 to work, do you have one?

no...  :-[

And the problem is that it's a 1HU server, so i don't have place to put in a pci card. The only pci slot is taken by a RAID controller...

Maybe an external usb audio-card? Could this work? :$

Try an external USB card, but I would not put my hopes to high. First make sure that the USB sound adapter is compatible with the kernel 710 is running.

modprobe snd_dummy

I believe this is right. There is an old forum post about this with instructions on how to load at boot also, just search the forum
