Hi all,
I ran into what looks like the same issue reported by rcowlagi today.
First off, I couldn't do a fresh, Natty install from an iso on VMWare
Fusion on my MacBook Pro. I don't know if this is a known issue, but I
kept getting "fatal installer error" crashes with reboots resulting in
black screens. Googling revealed various people reporting the Fusion
graphics system can't deal with Unity, but I didn't see any obvious way
to do a non-graphical or non-Unity install. So I installed Maverick and
upgraded, and that seemed to work.
I then ran "install-debathena.sh" and opted for a workstation install.
It installed a few packages and got to:
verifying machine is up to date...
then:
"Your system is not up to date. Proceeding with an install at this time
could render your system unusable..."
so I ran Update Manager but that said I was up to date and didn't
install anything. Then rerunning "install-debathena.sh" continued for a
bit, installing about 10 packages or so, then printed:
update-rc.d: warning: resolvconf stop runlevel arguments (none) do not
match LSB Default-Stop values (0 6)
then:
"Your machine seems to not be running a supported Ubuntu/Debathena
release.."
I tried rerunning once more but nothing changed.
Alex
