encountered issues

MoBo NIC

The on-board NIC (RTL 8111/8168B) is not supported by Intrepid's native desktop kernel. Considering to the age of Intrepid I decided to build a new 2.6.34.1 kernel according to http://www.howtoforge.com/kernel_compilation_ubuntu: How To Compile A Kernel - The Ubuntu Way ==installation MCE alpha-2 2010 07 29: installation of current mce 810 (wget -c http://deb.linuxmce.org/ubuntu/new-installer-latest.tar.gzwget -c http://deb.linuxmce.org/ubuntu/new-installer-latest.tar.gz:

  • manual download of:
 * pluto-sample-media_2.0.0.44.09112922522_i386.deb
 * video-wizard-videos_1.1_all.deb

From: http://deb.linuxmce.org/ubuntu/dists/intrepid/lmce-alpha2-updates/binary-i386/ After the third missing package I dived a bit deeper into it and added the line deb http://deb.linuxmce.org/ubuntu/ intrepid lmce-alpha2-updates to /etc/apt/source.list which was enough.
