Alright... I've hit yet another dead end.

I restarted my computer after LinuxMCE finished installing, and as soon as the Kubuntu bar becomes totally blue, and it finishes loading, i get an error message ending in

dcerouter login: *Reloading... etc etc

Also, the screen keeps flashing back and forth between the dcerouter login, and another screen that says helper script failed.

Any ideas whats going on??? I had installed Kubuntu first, then installed the newest nvidia drivers as per: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=514161

Then I installed LinuxMCE.

I also tried holding shift during the Kubuntu loading screen, after the beep. This doesnt help at all and it doesnt load the AV wizard.

Im running the Abit AN-M2HD, with the 7050 graphics chipset.

did you try without loading the drivers before linuxce and then letting linuxmce load the drivers for you?

no I havent tried that... problem with that is that the chipset i am using is extremely new... and i really doubt that linuxmce supports my card.

im running the Geforce 7050 / 630a graphics card. Its integrated into my motherboard. The latest nvidia drivers from the nvidia website JUST added support for this. When I did the linuxMCE install, it didnt even say anything about drivers. I didnt get the proprietary driver dialog box.

heres the exact screen:

usplash: Seting mode 1024x768 failed
usplash: Using mode 800x600
mdadm: No devices listed in conf file were found.

etc etc

Ubuntu 7.04 dcerouter tty1
dcerouter login:


Im stumped! Really starting to frustrate me...

Any help?

FuZoRBlade

okay.. i solved this by going into the shell and replacing the xorg.conf with xorg.conf.backup.

This gets AV wizard to start

Im a total noob (never used linux before).....I have same prob (same mobo). How do you enter the shell?.....any help please.
cheers

when you have the command prompt, that means you're in the shell.

when it says "dcerouter login:" type in your login username/password

cd /etc/X11/
then use mv xorg.conf xorg.config.1
and then mv xorg.conf.backup xorg.conf

Hi all, I have the exact same motherboard, and the exact same problem.
Straight to a DCERouter Login prompt.

However

Quotewhen you have the command prompt, that means you're in the shell.

when it says "dcerouter login:" type in your login username/password

This is a totally fresh clean PC, and I used the Linux MCE quick install DVD. The only buttons I pressed on install were
When asked whether I'd like to install : Enter
When asked which HDD to install to :1 then Enter

I never had to set up a login, or password, so have no idea what to input.

Any help greatly appreciated, and be warned I'm a total NooB

Thanks in advance

ok, got it working now.

Here's how I did it.

Login linuxmce
Pass: linuxmce

Next step

cd /etc/X11

Next step

sudo mv xorg.conf xorg.conf.1

Next step

sudo mv xorg.conf.pluto.avwizard xorg.conf





And as if by magic it worked.
Hope that helps others in the same spot
