Comment 9 wagerrard 2012-11-05 23:06:46 UTC
I should add that I rebooted into MATE again, as Root, opened a Terminal, entered "Firstboot", got the second part of the install, and finished it per a normal install.

+1 NTH, breaks MATE installs as firstboot doesn't run.

could we have the two packages that fix this edited together as a single update to minimize the possibility of mistakes, please? thanks.
