Installer Problems
1. vim package
If your /var/log/mce-install* log file is ending with:
The following packages have unmet dependencies. pluto-dcerouter: Depends: pluto-confirm-dependencies (>= 1.0) but it is not going to be installed Depends: pluto-confirm-dependencies (< 1.1) but it is not going to be installed Depends: pluto-createdevice (>= 1.0) but it is not going to be installed Depends: pluto-createdevice (< 1.1) but it is not going to be installed Depends: pluto-install-scripts (>= 1.0) but it is not going to be installed Depends: pluto-install-scripts (< 1.1) but it is not going to be installed Depends: pluto-local-database (>= 1.0) but it is not going to be installed Depends: pluto-local-database (< 1.1) but it is not going to be installed Depends: pluto-std-plugins (>= 1.0) but it is not going to be installed Depends: pluto-std-plugins (< 1.1) but it is not going to be installed Depends: pluto-system-database (>= 1.0) but it is not going to be installed Depends: pluto-system-database (< 1.1) but it is not going to be installed Depends: pluto-website-admin (>= 1.0) but it is not going to be installed Depends: pluto-website-admin (< 1.1) but it is not going to be installed Depends: pluto-boot-scripts (>= 1.0) but it is not going to be installed Depends: pluto-boot-scripts (< 1.1) but it is not going to be installed PreDepends: vim but it is not going to be installed E: Broken packages
If you will try to install the vim package 'apt-get install vim', you will get the error:
The following packages have unmet dependencies. vim: Depends: vim-common (= 1:7.0-035+1ubuntu5) but 1:7.0-164+1ubuntu6~edgy1 is to be installed
Solution: Remove and install vim again:
apt-get remove --purge vim-common ; apt-get install vim
Remove the 'edgy-backports' line from /etc/apt/sources.list
Once the vim package is updated/installed well, try again to install LinuxMCE.
2. Sorry, for the dutch error log
But I wasnt able to find a solution yet for this problem. There goes something wrong while it wants to configure.

Seems to be that pluto-database-settings tries to acces mysql database with root with no password.
Solution: Reset temporary your mysql root password to none
3. New problem
Instellen van pluto-website-admin (1.0) ... ln: kan symbolische koppeling ``/usr/pluto/orbiter/floorplans naar ``/home/pluto/floorplans niet aanmaken: File exists dpkg: fout bij afhandelen van pluto-website-admin (--configure): subproces post-installation script gaf een foutwaarde 1 terug dpkg: vereistenproblemen verhinderen de configuratie van pluto-dcerouter: pluto-dcerouter is afhankelijk van pluto-website-admin (>= 1.0); maar: Pakket pluto-website-admin is nog niet geconfigureerd. pluto-dcerouter is afhankelijk van pluto-website-admin (<< 1.1); maar: Pakket pluto-website-admin is nog niet geconfigureerd. dpkg: fout bij afhandelen van pluto-dcerouter (--configure): vereistenproblemen - blijft ongeconfigureerd Fouten gevonden tijdens behandelen van: pluto-website-admin pluto-dcerouter E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
Solution: sudo rm /usr/pluto/orbiter/floorplans
4. MySQL problem
If you have a problem with this message: "Orbiter cannot register with router" go to /var/log/pluto and watch the DCERouter.log. You will see messages like this:

A possible resolvation can be restarting the system, because it will restart also the mysql server.
