Installation issues / Re: Halts after avwiz, before sarah - x launced with black screen w/ cursor

« on: August 07, 2011, 11:51:51 am »

Same problem here.

I ran through the AV-wizzard okay, but no lady (apparently Sarah) asking me questions about the home setup.
In the meantime I opened up ssh port 22
(on a Root prompt using the command:
/sbin/iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -d 0/0 -s 0/0 --dport 22 -j ACCEPT
)

This enabled me to run an X-forwarded browser to access
http: // localhost/lmce-admin
to add some users and enable administration from the external (home)-network.

But no Sarah.

Is there any description of the installation process, to tell me what to tweak to get "her" running from the CLI without re-installing from dvd?

(e.g. an extra command in or from  firstboot /etc/rc5.d/S90firstboot ?: Which one?)

Installation issues / Re: Ubuntu 8.10 end of life breaks installer

GREAT THANKS to dextaslab for locating a remaining Repo.

Would be nice if the developers could switch to the lates version with LTS.

(With a three year waiting period for every next "stable" Debian de-facto has also proven to be a  release, but I guess that 's a closed discussion)
