------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-01-25 03:36 ------- P.S. My printer, a Hewitt Packard HP Deskjet 845c, was correctly detected and displayed as the one found. Just for some reason, it didn't get installed, and things fell apart from there. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. ------- Reminder: ------- assigned_to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] description: I tried installing 9.1 beta 2 on a 30 meg partition of an AMD with a 60 gig hard drive, previously containing the stable 9.0. All appeared well until the installation program got to the point of configuring the printer. At first I tried just doing an upgrade installation, then retried a full install. Both times, it got to the printer configuration point. It asked if I wanted the printer system initialized upon system startup. On the upgrade installation attempt I said "no", on the full installation I said "yes". Both times, the installation program asked me for CD 1. I put it in, and the installation program could not recognize it (cd 2 was in at the time). I tried going back to 2, and then retried 1, and both times it was stuck. I finally pressed the CANCEL button. The program then said "making printer port abailable for CUPS". Then I got "An error occured. foomatic-configure failed. Then I was told that the installation was successfully completed, and to reboot. I pressed the next button onscreen, and the system rebooted. The partition manager worked as before, and I tried to boot up linux. The system didn't inititlize either KDE (which I'd requested as the default on startup) or GNOME, but instead had me in text mode. Typing in KDE or STARTX yielded: "execve (executive?) failed for /etc/X11/X". Guess I'll have to reinstall Mandrake 9.0. Hope you'll have a new, debugged beta release out soon.
