[Lubuntu-desktop] alpha2 image boot problem

2011-02-13 Thread Zoltan Matlak
Hi Julien,

I tried installing alpha2 on virtualbox, it does not work (doesn't
boot). I usually install it (test it) as a fresh virtual box
installation before I put it on a disk partition as a stand alone OS.

I red the list, someone else also mentioned this problem. Is this a
bad iso? Are you gonna regenerate the alpha2 image soon? What is the
plan?

thanks
Zoltan

Sorry, but how do I do that? I have VB 4.0.2 under OSX, I created a
new virtual machine, with all default settings. Did not booted yet,
just clicked on Settings. Under Settings -> System, I have Extended
features. By default "Enable IO APIC" is not checked, so  it's not
enabled. Did not found any ACPI settings. Any help is welcomed.
Thanks. Zoltan

Yes, Jonathan mentioned it. It seems that the problem is on Virtualbox
4.0. If you use the 3.0, it's working. Can you reproduce the bug with a
Ubuntu natty iso ?

Thanks in advance.

I've tried Lubuntu alpha 2 in VirtualBox 4.0 too and it didn't boot.
However, Natty works just fine...

It's not exactly a "bad ISO" if it boots on real hardware... so it may
be a bug in virtualbox that is triggered by something unusual in the ISO.

Since I would really like to be able to use Lubuntu ISOs in virtualbox,
I am in the process of learning how to create them in a Ubuntu-like way.
 When (if?) I succeed, I will hopefully be able to track down this issue
further.

When I built a "sort-of-but-not-really" Lubuntu ISO using live-helper,
that ISO *did* boot just fine in virtualbox for me.  But that's not how
Ubuntu does its livecd ISO creation. So, now I should learn about and
play with germinate, and livecd-rootfs, and debian-cd, and ubuntu-cdimage :)

Is there already a LaunchPad bug for this issue?  If not, please do
create one!

Jonathan
