Hi all
I am having problems installing the lastest version on LMDE. When I double click Installer Icon on desktop "user privelegs granted screen" comes up and then nothing happens. I have tried running in Terminal but dont have root password.
Somebody please help me.

Re: LMDE Installer problem
This happened to me too. It just took a while to come up. I clicked 'install' twice and also went into the menu and chose it. After a short wait I had multiple instances of the installer opening.
This will probably get moved to the LMDE section of the forums, where it may get more exposure.

Re: LMDE Installer problem
I have the same problem. It seems to be a problem with gksudo rather than the installer. If i try to run gksudo with whatever command it ends with
while if I start the installer from terminal without gksudo it starts, but doesn't have the privileges to actually work.
EDIT: so the installer works, but can't get root priviledges any other way than gksudo which is broken. Mint user isn't in the sudoers file so even if you set a user password and try to sudo su, it won't work.
EDIT2: When I created the Live USB with Unetbootin instead of Universal USB Installer it started working.
Code: Select all
(gksudo:3859): Glib-CRITICAL **: g_str_has_prefix: assertion `str !=NULL' failed

unetbootin is the recommended toolhencke wrote: EDIT2: When I created the Live USB with Unetbootin instead of Universal USB Installer it started working.
About the media: It comes as a liveDVD. Locales work differently in Debian and the package base requires more space. We made LMDE compatible with unetbootin though, so you can install it using a USB stick. here
