Re: [LUG] Mint 14 install

Hi All,

Having problems with a Mint 14 installation onto
an HP Pavilion
(ex Vista, ex Ubuntu 12.04 LTS) machine.


The disk (LXF 168) appears to do all the usual things one
would
expect for a fresh install. It picks up the correct
screen res
(1280 x 1024), correctly identifies network
present, sets the
correct time, shows the Mint 14
background screen ...

and stops. It puts up an icon for
install, then goes no further.

Suggestions please ?


Regards etc,
Ray Knowles.

Assuming you checked the disk for errors... And that you've actually clicked the icon?
Try running Mint from the disk - rather than doing an install.
Can you alt-f1 into a console?
I'm noticing more and more duffness on install disks these days - lack of drivers, stupid presentations that don’t work and kill the installetc etc.
