0810 beta DVD installation problems

[purps]

Hi all, I'm having an installation problem unfortunately.

I've been through the installation of Kubuntu (after selecting "install LMCE" on boot), clicked the "LinuxMCE" icon, and (very quickly) it's said to restart the system. However, after restart, I see the Kubuntu progress bar get to the end, but then it hangs when the bash login comes up. Logging in leaves me at the bash prompt. What do I do here? I cannot seem to get any further with the installation.

I have tried re-downloading the disc image (both times via torrent), and I have tried several times with and without activating the hardware drivers for the graphics card, but I keep ending up in the same place. All of the hardware is the same as my 0710 system, which always worked fine.

Any help would be much appreciated! Cheers.

i got the same thing a few times.  not sure what the problem was.  I know i have had a few problems with msttcorefonts not installing and stopping things short.

I can't IMAGINE that this would make any difference, but here it goes......

On my 5th or 6th attempt, I didn't install any hardware drivers for the graphics or anything, but I DOUBLE-CLICKED the LMCE icon instead of single clicking - and the installation progressed properly. Surely that's not the reason? Is there a difference between single and double clicking in Kubuntu?

Anyway, new set of problems now I see Sarah flash up for a second (no AV wizard!), and then the screen turns into a weird flashy white spiral (stop me if I'm getting too technical here). Going to try again in a minute with installed hardware drivers for graphics card now; will let you know how it goes.

burn speed.. instructions i saw somewhere burn at the lowest speed .....

Yep, same here, 152 errors on both images that I downloaded (2nd one on slowest burn speed).

However, I don't think that this matters... as I am writing this from my new 0810 beta installation! Installing hardware drivers for the graphics card seemed to do the trick (KDE Menu -> Applications -> System -> Hardware Drivers) before double-clicking(!) the LMCE icon on the desktop.

I finally got installed. had different display problems.  read a post where you go into kde desktop and enable restricted video driver...  worked for me..

now i am missing libdvdcss2 and w32codecs and id-my-disc.  apt-get does not install. says there are refrences but no candidate found.

The software sources are not configured properly.  Did you run "sudo apt-get update" before running "sudo apt-get install {whatever}"?  What are the contents of /etc/apt/sources.list?

Select your resolution, then give it a reset - seemed to work for me.

hi
two full reboots ,and my install just started to work

[tkmedia]

deb http://www.avenard.org/files/ubuntu-repos/ intrepid  testing

If you see above line in your sources.list change it to

deb http://www.avenard.org/files/ubuntu-repos/ intrepid  release testing

and do an apt-update and apt-upgrade

for the avenard repo "release" is always required


HTH

You'll probably need the mediabuntu packages
