I doubt this has anything to do with LXDE or the LXDE Live media. Please test that you don't have the same problem with the default "Desktop" spin. And please give me the output of 'fdisk -l /dev/sda' on the affected netbook. Yes, I really wasn't sure at all where to post this bug, LXDE, anaconda, grub... But I only tested default Desktop from DVD in another computer and it worked. I really don't feel like reinstalling a different spin again, as I already took my time configuring it (and it just works now ;) But as soon as I'm in front of my netbook, I'll send you the output of fdisk and any other information you might need. Please, feel free to reassing the bug to another area if you consider it has nothing to do with LXDE and sorry if this is the case. I cannot reassign it before this bug before it was verified. This means someone needs to test that it was does not happen with the default spin and was no heisenbug either. Fedora is a volunteer effort and I am a volunteer packager who maintains ~150 packages. I do not have the time to verify this bug and therefor need to rely on bug reporters to help me. I understand perfectly and I'll try to find time to test that, but I don't know when I'll be able to do it as I'm really busy. I wish I had more time to help more, but I do what I can. In fact, installing grub in MBR makes it work for me and it isn't such a big deal. I just wanted to inform about this bug to help others, not for my own benefit. Don't doubt as long and as soon as I'm able, I'll do all the testing you ask for. And I beg your pardon if I can't. Thanks for your help and effort. Well, for the moment: sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda Disk /dev/sda: 320.1 GB, 320072933376 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 38913 cylinders, 625142448 sectores en total Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes Identificador del disco: 0x0007b864 Disposit.

Meanwhile I tried to reproduce your problem. I failed both with the desktop media and the LXDE spin. I am going to try one more time with a fresh drive and all default settings. I cannot reproduce your problem, not matter what I try. Please file a new bug against anaconda once you found out how to reliably reproduce your problem. /root/anaconda-ks.cfg might have some information. Ok, I will, though I'm afraid it might be a combination of hardware/software that won't be reproducible by others unless they have my same netbook (or one with the same problem). Thanks for your effort, Juan |
