Installation issues / Re: Installation hang on second step. Please help))

« on: November 02, 2011, 12:41:36 am »

I think I went through it .. right after the AV setup wizard , during the installing.... XXXX......thign I went to another terminal and I opened /etc/apt/sources.list and refreshing this file again and again, I saw exactly when the lucid repo was added , so I was able to remove it before the installing firefox thing came  .. then sudo apt-get update (got an error msg so I don't know if this is necessary) so no freeze this time..now the installer went to the end and the lady is now talking to me so i'm gonna listen to what she have to say 

p.s. what about 1004 instead of 0810 for a newbie ? at least the installation may be easier ?
I'm able to work my way around with computers but I'm far from a linux expert.

here I am again. this will be a long story

I started over again and after instaling firefox, then black screen. ctrl+alt+f2, then logged to my user. then sudo vim etc/apt/sources.list, then save, then apt-get update then I got an error msg saying :
Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 resource temporarily unavailable)
Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it ?
so I search the net after some reading I've done something I'm not even sure about

Code: [Select]

ps aux  | egrep -i 'apt|ftp|kpack|dpkg'  | lessbut I forgot the space before the less so it did

Code: [Select]

ps aux  | egrep -i 'apt|ftp|kpack|dpkg'  |lessdon't know what happened but after that I was able to do the apt-get update. I got some 404 not found but nothing else
then trying apt-get upgrade :

Code: [Select]

..
few lines
..
Setting up radvd
starting radvd :....... radvd syntax error in /etc/radvd.conf, line 2 (seems to be a 2 thats out of screen range)
radvd: error parsing or activating the config file /etc/radvd.conf failed
invole-rc.d: initscript radvd, action "start" failed
dpkg : erroe processing radvd (--configure):
subprocess post-intalation script returned error exit status 1
error were encountered while processing :
radvd
E: subprocess /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code 1
so I tried to edit the radvd.conf file. don't know why but it's blank. so entering radvd.conf I began to write something according to some howto I found on the net again but i'm not sure about the prefix...

Code: [Select]

interface eth0
{ AdvSendAdvert on;
prefix (I entered what I think is the prefix to use I may be wrong)
};then again apt-get upgrade. It went through this time .
returning to ctrl+alt+f7 and........ nothing....

I'm thinking it might be easier for me to wait the final iso with the proper modification. I'm starting to be pissed of at this..

Trying it right now for the 5th time.
Hope it's gonna be the goog one.

Just to be clear, when I get the black screen after firefox install I do a ctrl+alt+f2 then after logging , I edit the sources.list file then I save & exit, apt-get update, apt-get upgrade,

after that i'm guessing ctrl+alt+f1 to come back to the installation proccess ?

thanks for all your help, very appreciated,
this also might help other newbies like me.

ok, well I have rebooted since this happen, Now I booted the system again and system freeze on

Code: [Select]

starting samba daemons   ...done" then nothing....i pressed enter and edited sources.list but apt-get upgrade return an error msg
I think I shouldn't have reboot.
I tried

Code: [Select]

./pre-install-from-repo.sh
./mce-install.sh
./post-install.sh
rebootto see what happen but that didm't helped. When I boot again I am still on the

Code: [Select]

starting samba daemons   ...done" then nothing....
 Now that the file is edited is there a way to resume the installation process or do I have to start over from scratch and edit the file without rebooting ?

sorry to be a PITA but if I follow instruction on wiki_dot_linuxmce_dot_org/index_dot_php/Installing_0810 first thing I do after installing kubuntu 8.10 is to edit /etc/apt/sources.list so it contain only (i'm not allowed to post link so i'll try to be clear)

Code: [Select]

deb h t t p : // old-releases .ubuntu .com /ubuntu /  intrepid  main restricted universe multiverse
deb-src h t t p : // old-releases .ubuntu. com/ ubuntu /  intrepid  main restricted universe multiverse
deb h t t p : // old-releases. ubuntu. com/ ubuntu/  intrepid-updates  main restricted universe multiverse
deb-src h t t p : // old-releases. ubuntu .com /ubuntu/  intrepid-updates  main restricted universe multiverse
deb h t t p : // deb .linuxmce. org/ ubuntu/ intrepid  beta2
deb h t t p : // debian. slimdevices. c om/ stable  main
deb h t t p : // packages. medibuntu. org/ intrepid  free non-free
deb h t t p : // old-releases. ubuntu. c om/ ubuntu / intrepid-security  main restricted universe multiverse
deb-src h t t p: / / old-releases. ubuntu .c om /ubuntu / intrepid-security  main restricted universe multiverse
deb h t t p :// old-releases .ubuntu. com/ ubuntu / intrepid  main universe multiverse
deb h t t p : //deb. linuxmce. org /ubuntu/ replacements_debian  main
deb h t t p : // deb. linuxmce. org/ ubuntu / 20dev_ubuntu  mainI don't see anything that refer to lucid in this...
after this step I do exactly what's on the howto site :

Code: [Select]

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
sudo apt-get install medibuntu-keyring
wget -c h t t p : // deb. linuxmce. org / ubuntu / new-installer-latest.tar.gz
tar xvf new-installer-latest.tar.gz
cd new-installer
sudo ./pre-install-from-repo.sh
sudo ./mce-install.sh
sudo ./post-install.sh
reboot
I may be stupid but when during these step do you edit the sources.list file ?
