Installation issues / Re: The 7.10 RC1 CD install script is borked, right?

Toby, thanks for your response. Did you burn the disks or do the command line install by mounting the .iso files? I've tried both and I still get the same error.

When I run the install scripts from the command line, I end up with this:

./mce-installer-user: symbol lookup error: /tmp/selfextract.aU5725/libvte.so.9: undefined symbol: g_once_init_enter_impl

Anybody have any idea what this could mean?

BTW, I've run md5sums on my .iso downloads so I am getting good downloads.

The install documentation here:
http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/Installation_Guide

mentions placing the CD in the drive and it will "autostart." That's not true, is it? It will automount but there's nothing there that will start an install, right?

Installation issues / The 7.10 RC1 CD install script is borked, right?

« on: April 28, 2008, 02:09:02 am »

So, I've installed Kubuntu 7.10 to a fresh 20Gb partition. I've downloaded both 710 b4 and RC1 and run the install with the same results.

After mounting the .iso files, I've installed the .deb package for the mce_installer. After clicking on the desktop icon, I continue to get the "command './mce-installer' not found" dialog box. Running the mce-installer.sh script from the command line does not seem to get me any further.

I've fiddled with the install script a bit and been able to get a little further. I'd rather no go into those details until I hear from someone who has successfully installed linuxmce using the 710 RC1 CD install.

All indications from reading this forum seem to indicate that quite a few have been successful using the CD install. Is that possible without modifications?
