New to all of this ( in case it wasn't incredibly obvious)

The graphics card is just an integrated graphics card.

The first time I ran after install, the Wizard came up and I selected a resolution, I was adjusting my TV set and the countdown ended, I was chucked out to the router login and have never been able to get back in!

Will try the shift key again....

Thanks for all your help

Thanks Freyman

Have tried holding the left shift button, I pressed the left shift down after the first set of beeps, and held it until the Failed to Set Up X screen came on!!

How do I boot into KDE? Only thing I have managed so far is the alt + f2 which gets me into the router log in, and looses me from there!

Thanks Freyman

I got the torrent download and have installed, that. I got to the AV Wizard and not get the "Failed to Setup X" problem. Trying to see if I can re run the AV Wizzard and get things set up from there, but can't seem to find it in the /usr/bins file

Will keep looking.....

Installation issues / Noob install problems....

Hi all

Noob here!

I have tried to install LinuxMCE but keep having problems so will go through the list in case I am missing something really basic!

Tried the DVD install, but I cannot write to dual layer DVD's so cannot burn to a DVD!

Install Kubuntu 8.10, installed ok on about 3rd attempt, but really slow!

After this I tried to install MCE, but could only install the installer, which did nothing when I clicked on it. Having read the installation manual, I realised that it was probably because I had Kubuntu 8.10 on, so downloaded a copy of 7.10.

This boots fine when I try the option to  try Kubuntu, I can run and get into the desktop, but when I click on the "Install" option, the installation freezes at the "Checking file system" stage and I have to reboot. Tried this several times, including the OEM and "skip this step" options, but the installer still freezes!

Figuring that I would give up and use Elisa instead, I installed Ubuntu 8.10, this installed perfectly and runs smoothly. Figuring it was worth a try, I have tried to install MCE on Ubuntu. The installer runs and asks me for all the CD iso's, which are all on the desktop. However, after selecting all the iso's, the installer then flags and error that it cannot cache Linux MCE disc 1.

I know I have gone a long and round about path to this! So......

• Is it possible to install MCE onto Ubuntu?
• If not, should I try re-installing it on Kubuntu 8.10?
• If the install has to be on Kubuntu 7.10, why does 7.10 not install correctly? (though I realise this may be the wrong forum for this question!)

Thanks in advance for all your help!
