Can you, while booted from the installation disc, run the following command from the terminal and share its output here? Will tell us a little about your machine's hardware.

Code: Select all

inxi -Fxc 0

i also dont know where to install grub,once i didnt install grub and the installation finished with no errors,but when i restarted the computer it didnt start cuz there were no grub.

I install it on /dev/sda

I'm not sure why the installation would freeze. It is not an issue with insufficient memory, which I though could be the cause (that sometimes happens, can be remedied by setting up swap before installing).

is it possible if the dvd has some errors,or that it was burned incorrectly? But i dont think so.

Is it this because i install burg wrong?

i partitioned everything right,i even gave linux swap 5 gb,root 5 gb,boot 600 mb and home folder 130 gb

but i think that the burg is causing this problem,in which sda/dev should i install it

You would normally install the bootloader to /dev/sda. I have no clue how you install burg though, don't you have to do that after installing the main system?

I am also having a problem with the new installer on the new ISO
The disc check says its OK but it gets to the end of the install and either crashes or freezes
This is happening at the point where it is Removing live configuration packages.
This system ran LMDE up until update 4 when I had Cinnamon and Mate problems and gave up using it.
Now after the new ISO I thought let's try again, but at present the new mint installer will not install.
Any bright ideas as how to get LMDE back on here or is it sit around and wait for another ISO time

ok it is working for me now i re-downloaded the iso and burn it with http://www.ubuntu.com/download/help/bur ... on-windows

also make shure that you partitioned everything right:

Well you are the lucky one lol
I have made 3 copies of the new ISO so far on 2 different machines
2 were using K Torrent and one a straight download from a mirror and for good measure I tried one on the new Linuxmint 13 and it did exactly the same thing crashed at the point of Removing live config packages.
Just for good measure a second time I tried my old copy of LMDE dated 7/4/11 and it installed but due to the repo changes and the update packs which seem to point back to each other I cant upgrade it.
Nice idea just didn't work.
You do remind me that I once bunt an ISO disc with one application and if failed so having tried again I tried another linux burning program
One was K3b which I used today and the other was Brasero.
Cant remember which one failed though.
I dont like giving up I loved LMDE and may be forced to miss it until the installer gets back on par

I was trying to install Linux Mint 14 XFCE 64 bits under VMware Workstation 9 and I had the same freeze problem during installation.
But when I entered a password instead of automatic login it worked...
Strange as I made the same installation on a USB key with automatic login and it worked.
Hope it can help some of you.
