It may also uninstall phonon-backend-vlc, even the CR version, for no good reason. but it should be able to be reinstalled afterwards.

It's not a bug report, but I do see a message about it on the debian-backports list: https://lists.debian.org/debian-backpor ... 00062.html

Worked a treat thanks. I encountered another glitch in install where the partitioning and preparation of the drive fails and reverts to the previous screen for some reason, possibly a VB related issue?

Not sure. Have you tried other options i.e. use full drive.

You need to fire up GParted and put a partition table on the VBox drive first,
and that is a fault with the Mepis installer, not VBox

Aha, thank you kindly.

I do not see an answer for watching youtube videos. My computer monitor will go black after a while.

I reach for a wiggle the mouse it become active again and I can continue watching. But how do I discover the current time setting, and make change to the lengthen to time limit on my screen?

Is it monitor or computer settings in the beta, pain in the neck if i am working at table trying to watch a video, and must cross the room to get the screen back again...

Danum,

Thank You! Was looking for Monitor/Screen, did not think Laptop/Notebook power saving options...

I am Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaak from a long visit to SolosUS. Downloaded the 64 bit version and when trying to load from the disk it gets to the installation of cupsd and then the screen goes black. The DVD keeps loading for a short period before stopping. I have no clue as to what is going on.

I have Ubuntu 13.10 and Kubuntu 13.10 installed and their installation did not encounter any problems on this computer.

This problem may have been addressed somewhere back in this thread but haven't dug through the 26 pages yet to see.

Yes, John I am still running Roadblock.

EDIT: Didn't find anything in the 26 pages.

EDIT EDIT: md5sum is correct

First try xdrvr=vesa confx at the GRUB boot screen. See here for a howto: http://www.mepis.org/docs/en/index.php?title=Cheatcodes

If you get to a logon screen we may modify this cheatcode to use an open 3D video driver.

Those cheats don't exist for M12.

The LiveDVD's second menu item is a "Safe Mode" entry which adds the radeon.modeset=0 nouveau.modeset=0 i915.modeset=0 cheats to disable the KMS drivers, which should cause the vesa driver to be used.

Greetings from Finland!

All I want to do with Mepis works fine now with MX-14. Thank guys for that!

Is there any M12 development going on that anyone's aware of?
