Reboot the test pc.

Please perform another install if that's ok, I think we're getting close.
Same exact install routine as I posted in Post #26, except for the Partition Drives task.
Then run this:

Code:

sudo pkill -9 gvfs-udisks2-volume-monitor; gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.media-handling automount false; xfconf-query -c thunar-volman -p /automount-drives/enabled -s false

When that's all done, please launch the installer. Perform the install.

Changed the code command to the above.

Quick update - it looks promising, the installer has completed the partitioning phase and begun unpacking the image.

I had to add a -f flag to the pkill command to allow it to search and match the process name.

I'll report later.

[valtam]

Oooh don't get me excited!
FYI please zip and attach any session logs from now on. Cheers Steve.

The pkill install completed.  Thank you for your patience and tenacity.

This is the context of the pkill command executed during the install.

Code:

?linux ? /tmp ???? sudo pkill -9 gvfs-udisks2-volume-monitor; gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.media-handling automount false; xfconf-query -c thunar-volman -p /automount-drives/enabled -s false
pkill: pattern that searches for process name longer than 15 characters will result in zero matches
Try `pkill -f' option to match against the complete command line.

?linux ? /tmp ???? sudo pkill -f -9 gvfs-udisks2-volume-monitor; gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.media-handling automount false; xfconf-query -c thunar-volman -p /automount-drives/enabled -s false
Killed                     sudo pkill -f -9 gvfs-udisks2-volume-monitor

?linux ? /tmp ????

I'm curious and will look it up, but can you confirm what this is doing to get around the earlier issues ?

The forum won't allow the attachment of zip files to a post.
Let me know if you need the session log in another format.

System rebooted into RC2 from the disk.

Unfortunately, I won't be able to to do much testing until the weekend, but here is some initial feedback.
The locale setting is a plus. Previous versions required a bit of tinkering to get currency, keyboard, time zones etc all aligned and this task seems to have been eliminated.

During boot, the graphic of the rotating feather and the dots is cleared (at about two dots filled in), as if esc had been pressed revealing the text of the boot.  Near the end of the sequence, a tty login prompt is shown. If left, this disappears as the GUI starts, but if it doesn't clear quickly, a user may be tempted to try to login at this screen.

Can you give me the exact full command you used for:

Code:

sudo pkill -9 gvfs-udisks2-volume-monitor; gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.media-handling automount false; xfconf-query -c thunar-volman -p /automount-drives/enabled -s false

You said that you added a flag to it.
