Users / Re: Can't get LMCE to a working state

Thanks guys.  I would assume this is most likely my problem as I did not install to the first hard drive.  Thanks for the detailed steps to resolve.

Not to be too effusive with praise for a solution that I haven't tried yet, but this is exactly the reason open source wins... because people are willing to help each other out and share their knowledge.  For a commercial solution, I would have spent an hour on the phone trying to explain a problem to someone who barely speaks my language. 

Great stuff, thanks again.

Users / Can't get LMCE to a working state

« on: July 21, 2008, 04:15:54 pm »

Over the weekend I attempted two separate installations of LMCE and, while both were successful, neither left me with a working system.

My first attempt was to do the CD install with an existing(working) Kubuntu install.  After completing the installation, xorg would not start and my display would flash, then turn off.  It is very similar to the behavior when xorg doesn't start because of a misconfiguration, the only difference being that when it reverts to the text console, it continues to flash instead of just showing the text console.

My second attempt was to do the entire install from DVD.  This also seemed to work with no issues until I tried to boot it and I got a Grub error 22.

When I get home from work tonight I'm going to try to fiddle with my grub settings a bit using a live cd but I am not necessarily confident that this is the issue.  If anyone has encountered these errors and can give me a hint as to what might be the issue I would appreciate it.
