« on: March 26, 2007, 12:08:18 am »

i made lmce boot first as i was saying earlier; i've found if you do this and it grey scsreens
ctrl+alt+f2 (a couple times even)
login
startx
and in my setup ubuntu boots fine soi'm sure it's very likely the ui choice is bad;
are there specifc tricks for the alpha transaprency to be done in the config?
im unable todo a video for now
my mistake didn't see the post on the web interface, i'm playing around in there now

i'm stuck at this same point too
i chose dedicated so it would start mce before ubuntu, it just boots to a grey screen with a mouse cursor
then i can drop back to a terminal ctrl+alt+f1, login, run startx and ubuntu starts fine, launch mce from ubuntu andi end up at the grey screen of death
i've tried a bunch of things along the lines of my video card as well to no avail
i think i'm at like 4 hours now ;p

Installation issues / Re: Install from CD problems
« on: March 25, 2007, 07:07:45 am »
i probly grabbed the bad one off the torrents first....
installed and it failed then i read this thread to get the fresh iso.. i think i did so it's named linuxmce-1.0-packages.iso
i've attached a calculate md5 which i think helps
i purged the installer, reinstalled the installer and ran it with the new disc inserted
anyway it's still giving me trouble..
clean edgy install this evening
edit: the md5 matches the one currently on the linuxmce site
0c925976b65ba481271cbb133051fe3a
so the screenshot was not necessary
