I'm trying the latest snapshot which ends in 25824 and have no dhcpd.conf file. I have also tried the previous snapshot, and also the web install, all have the same problem. Am trying to manually write a dhcpd.conf file, not as easy as I was hoping!

as per possy's post... outside of today, latest does not necessarily mean best or even stable. Until it is tested we will not know. Typically you should look at the snapshot wiki for the BEST version to run. I simply fixed a big problem (I believe) this morning with all snapshots, making all options workable. Snapshots are created when new builds happen, even if my snapshot code is not stable. Be forewarned.

Looking back I would expect that version you had to have dhcp. To be clear... You have 2 nics, yes? and you did not interrupt the install process, or the two boots after the install...

Hi,First things first, yes I have 2 NICs and no I didn't interrupt the install process at all. Could it be due to the fact that with 8.10 my machine didn't like the R8169 module, and I had to blacklist it?? Seems like there is some kind of problem with the DHCP3 server. The crazy thing is that when I first switched over to 1004, then I didn't have to change anything, and the system worked fine with both NICs, has done since around Oct/Nov last year. I've been away for a couple of months at the start of this year, came back and did the old apt-get update/upgrade to keep up to date and now I can't seem to get a working system with 1004.

Anyway, back to the snapshot testing, I have tried several times to download newer shapshots over the last couple of days, today I just tried the newest one 201204092213 and found that after the install and first reboot, it hangs at:-ssh start/running, process 2396 OK

It waits there indefinitely. I'm happy to send you any logs if you need them. For now I'm going to try reverting back to 8.10 to keep the family happy, but have partitioned the HDD so can keep trying snapshots of 1004 late at night until it works.

I have been working to fix new errors I created fixing others. You aren't alone in your frustration with the snapshots. The one created this morning works correctly except for one tiny little bug. When avwizard starts the first time, it provides an xorg.conf, so switching outputs (pressing 1, or 3 or whatever) doesn't stick. I hope to have that little bug fixed today. Thank you very much for your persistence. If you want to test the new one, everything should work well, save that you will have to drop to a terminal and kill that xorg.conf before switching/continuing so as to not have auto-generated values overriding your settings.http://linuxmce.iptp.org/snapshots/LMCE-1004-20120410150425862.iso

I've been following along here and decided to download the most recent snap LMCE-1004-20120423001425928.isoI tried loading it in Virtualbox as I wanted to try out a headless core install.I get an error

Core only install works very different than anything prior. The MD stuff has always been installed by default, and then a tiny one character change has been made to the pluto.conf file to produce a core only system. I no longer create various tables in the DB for the core, and a lot of things simply aren't installed, and if this behavior is daughtered to MDs, then it is no wonder that they fail (w regard to package installs only). So I am very curious if you CAN install a hybrid and MD's just magically work, whether or not I can address those issues, or cheat and setup a headless to support an md... I would prefer to do an actual core only install.

Ok hybrid install - MD still fails to boot.there is no default dir under /tftpboot/I'm guessing running Diskless_create_TBZ.sh would sort it all out but I think there is another thread where someone else also had probs getting an MD to boot with snap one itreration later than this.

Interesting. This was all previously working. I will do some testing tonight on my end, and talk with the big guy about whats going on if my results are different. I believe you are correct however, had another user do an install this morning with the same results... and yes TBZ will almost certainly fix it, but the idea is to avoid that
