Hi,

Your log cut off at

Setting up pluto-createdevice (2.0.0.44.0901260810) ...

Did you download the latest.tar.gz file?

I noticed this...

 * Stopping MySQL database server mysqld       
[ OK ]

and

Selecting previously deselected package pluto-sample-media.
(Reading database ... 90014 files and directories currently installed.)

where my install has ...

mysqld [157G  & [151G

and 103126 files and directories for pluto-sample-media.

In fact, all my files and directories are larger.

Yes, I use the latest.tar.gz, still encounter problem, what should I do?
1. The first failure is:
* Starting DHCP server dhcpd3
* check syslog for diagnostics.          [fail]
2.

3. Then hang there with
Setting up pluto-createdevice (2.0.0.44.0901260810) ...
Even the file is there:

Hi,

I guess we will have to go back and start at step 1.

When you downloaded the Kubuntu 8.10 i386 version desktop release did you do a md5sum?

(Did it match 82c02dc7386dfb6858a9ec09a5059e1e *kubuntu-8.10-desktop-i386.iso?)

[flying]

I used a CD to install the Kubuntu0810, and I used this CD had been setup the 0810 in last week.


I killed this process and it will continue the install, don't know the result.

When I install 0810 according to step 1~5 (http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/LinuxMCE-0810_alpha2), some packages were failed during download, is there a way to do compensation instead of re-install again? Such as following errors:

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.

Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.

I was getting the same message after 8 installation attempts and I doubt that this was the issue, but i tried swapping the ethernet cables between the onboard and pci ports and said a few Our fathers, sacrificed 3 goats and a 6 pack of guiness(ok 5, i drank 1), went to church and it finally completed the installation.  Of course another issue followed and i had to "solve" the blank screen issues by booting into recovery mode and changing video settings.  Now i have issues with my MD, after wizard setup it gets to a point of saying
