PCLinuxOS Full Monty install Fails

Loren1941 · 12-12-2016, 02:53 PM

Tried to install PCLinuxOS Full Monty on my desktop selecting LiveCD - no splash. Screen blanks and then displays:
Kernel 4.4.4-pclos1 on an 8-processor x86_64 / tty1
localhost login: ^[[23~acpic: client 5989[0:0] has disconnected
acpic: client 5989:0] has disconnected

Used burner K3b and varified MF5

Hi...

Does using the "noapic" or "acpi=off" parameter at boot resolve this? I'm not sure how you would set this in PCLinuxOS.

Regards...

Discovered that after I log in as guest/guest, I must enter "startx." Install proceeded to end with no more difficulty. Discovered this after a long search of forum messages. Never saw this discussed anywhere in the primary installation discussions.

Hi....

I'm glad you got it installed but normally, as you may know, a distribution will start up automatically, even in live mode. It's been a long time since distributions of Linux required the "startx" command at boot!

If you would, please mark this thread as "SOLVED" by clicking on "Thread Tools" directly above your initial post. Thanks!
