G'day, |
2 |
|
3 |
Using the graphical installer on the LiveCD, I've encountered several |
4 |
problems - 2 minor and 1 major. |
5 |
|
6 |
Minor problem: after being prompted for ethernet configuration (static |
7 |
in my case) and modifying the DNS address (from 127.0.0.1 |
8 |
192.168.0.1 ... to 127.0.0.1 192.168.1.2), /etc/resolv.conf is not |
9 |
updated, i.e. it doesn't have an entry for my name server. |
10 |
|
11 |
This is easily fixed, but I'm reporting it for completeness. |
12 |
|
13 |
Minor problem: the LiveCD allows emacs to be run from its menus. |
14 |
However it's not usable since characters aren't displayed in a readable |
15 |
manner. I'm guessing that fonts aren't configured. |
16 |
|
17 |
Major problem: |
18 |
|
19 |
GLI: ... - Fetching and unpacking tarball: |
20 |
GLI: ... - Exception received during 'Unpack stage tarball': |
21 |
GLIUtilityError :FATAL: get_uri: File does not exist or URI |
22 |
is invalid! |
23 |

40 |
GLI: ... - GLIException: GLIUtilityError :FATAL: get_uri: |
41 |
File does not exist or URI is invalid! |
42 |
|
43 |
As can be seen, the installer is failing to find the tarball it wants. |
44 |
FWIW, installprofile.xml contains: |
45 |
|
46 |
installprofile.xml |
47 |
|
48 |
<gli-profile> |
49 |
... |
50 |
<portage-snapshot> |
51 |
file:///mnt/cdrom/snapshots/portage-20060123.tar.bz2 |
52 |
</portage-snapshot> |
53 |
|
54 |
|
55 |
and the tarball _does_ exist. |
56 |
|
57 |
Any tips on how to get the install going? |
58 |
|
59 |
Thanks. |
