Just two things that I have seen people try - you can download the alternative install, it has some additional flexibility for installation and secondly, you can try a server install, it is doesn't load up as much stuff, fewer dependencies and more likely to be successful -- you can add the kubuntu desktop by apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
but remember to edit the repositories first so it knows where to get the modules (/etc/apt/sources.list) Robert Campbell wrote: > Hi all. > > I've been struggling with this problem for a while.
