Bad Burn / Media ??
OK, so I burned a DVD and printed a fancy label on it... but it doesn't work. Did I burn it too fast? Did I get a Bad download? Hmmm???? With this first DVD: Installing LinuxMCE, Kubuntu, or just trying Kubuntu all hung up and dumped me in to a cli.
I know that regular *buntu media works with this machine... Must be the media.
I burned another DVD at the slowest speed and tried again.
Now I get to the MCE setup but the resolution is all messed up and the text is unreadable. The Re-Burn Results picture shown is what I got after pressing the monitor's auto button and is actually better than what I first got which was all scrunched up to the left and the size of the white box.
The LinuxMCE installer does not work for me, yet regular *buntu media works just fine.
Next... I Try Kubuntu Live ... We're Good!
And the Install of Kubuntu went smoothly. All hardware worked and even setting the Appearance / Visual Effects / property of Kubuntu to Extra (best) worked well OOTB.
Then I started the MCE install and went to bed after about 30 minutes to an hour into it, and woke up to find a plain grey screen with a mouse pointer and nothing going on. I did a Ctrl-Alt-Bkspc to drop to a cli, logged in and 'startx' which brings me to the KDE desktop and a lower resolution than what I started with...
Before my LMCE installation I had 1920x1200 resoluton, I chose the 720p res in the lmce setup which freezes whatever resolution you choose as the maximum display size in kubuntu which now happens to be 1280x720. My small text is horrible. What the *(&^.
Now I am trying to figure out how to back the lmce overlay resolution down since I chose the top best for nvidia cards during intial install before going to bed. I don't have a nvidia card in this box and I think this is where I am having trouble.
After Rebooting, the machine went to finish the install wizard and back to that same blank grey screen with just a mouse cursor.
I will get back to this mess later, as I don't have the time to waste on it now.
