Product: Installation Component: Installation Summary: Installation 9.2 RC2 failed Product: Installation Version: 1.833 Platform: Other OS/Version: All Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: Installation AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I tried installing Mandrake 9.2 RC2 on an IBM Thinkpad T21 already running Mandrake 9.1. and it did not work. The following problems were observed. 1. During installation, it found my two partitions but could not identify the legacy mount points (i.e. / and /home) so I had to enter them manually. 2. The install never displayed the upgrade option as it has in the past it simply went into a normal install mode where packages have to be selected. 3. During the install it displayed "searching for packages" but afterwards it displayed the normal Mandrake install screen with the normal default boxes selected (it didn't detect installed packages because I had every package under every category except Server installed under Mandrake 9.1). 4. After the installation completed and the computer rebooted I was taken to the logon screen which I logged into and chose KDE but KDE never started. Instead I received the following error "The following installation problem was detected while trying to start KDE: No write access to /home/brian/.ICEauthority. KDE is unable to start". I was then taken back to the logon screen where I logged in and chose Gnome but Gnome also would not start. Instead I received the following error "The files that contain your preference settings are in use. You might be logged in to a session from another computer, and the other logon session is using your preference settings." When I press the continue button I receive "Please contact your system administrator to resolve the following problem. Could not resolve the address "xml:readwrite:/home/brian/.gconf in the configuration file /etc/gconf/2/path":Couldn't resolve address for configuration source" Can't read or write to the XML root directory in the address "xml:readwrite:/home/brian/.gconf." Thought I would pass this information on. Right now I don't have a working version of Mandrake 9.2 RC2 on my laptop. -- Configure bugmail: http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
