@Stephen You broke it by playing around with the GNOME Shell? Do you mean you broke it playing with the GNOME Terminal?
If you in fact broke it playing around with the GNOME *Shell*, you can probably work around the breakage by creating a new user (if necessary from the command-line, with the "adduser" command; make sure to add them to the "admin" group, so that they can run stuff as root with sudo/gksu/gksudo/kdesudo/whatever, and so that they can perform administrative actions in programs that use PolicyKit). Most breakages can be fixed. I invite you to open a question at https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu, and get help with your problem. If you create a question and post a link to it here, I'll try to attend to it (if nobody else does first). Extensive discussion of the breakage, however--since it doesn't seem to relate to the topic of this bug-- should be avoided here. I'm rather pushing over that line myself, in this post (but I don't want to sacrifice efficiency to propriety). If you do need to reinstall, then daily builds, including "daily" (which is the daily alternate CD) and "daily-live" (which is the daily desktop CD), are newer than Alpha 3 (at this point, considerably newer), and besides the benefit of new bug fixes, it's good to (try to) install from them because then you can report bugs in the installer (or live CD environment) as you find them: Daily desktop CD: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ Daily alternate CD: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily/current/ I recommend going for the desktop (i.e. daily-live) CD. And if you install from the daily live CD and you find that this bug no longer occurs, then you should definitely post here about that! If you do need an older build of Natty, then Alpha 2 would probably be the way to go, but I'm not sure if (or where) that download is still offered. That would also be a good thing to ask about at https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu (in a *separate* question from any question you post about fixing your present problem). I strongly suspect that it's still offered somewhere...but if not, I do have a copy of some of some of the Alpha 1 CD images, and after the aforementioned preferable alternatives have been exhausted, I would be pleased to set up some way of sending it to you. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/729870 Title: Installer hangs on first step after clicking 'Forward' -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
