Thread: Linux mint 9 suspends on keyboard selection.

I had use Linux Live USB Creator to inaugurate Linux Mint 9 Isadora on my USB thumb-drive. In extra I had LiLi make a 'Casper RW' document to be capable to optimize my settings and inaugurate it to bring up to date in Mint and discover if they operate and then secure them. It was my intent to then set up Mint to my system by means of the 'Install Mint' characteristic commencing from among my usb set up. This be supposed to have operated. Throughout the arrangement for the hard-drive set up I encountered the next predicament; Steps were:


Select Language , Select timezone , Select keyboard layout . Subsequent to keyboard selection the set up program find out to hang. It find out to not load the next screen were you encompass to select the space on your hard-drive were you approximating Mint to be set up on. This fraction of the set up makes utilize of GPArted for the partitioning tasks.

It other than the simple are worldwide. Beginning from what I read on unlike forums the plight is inside GParted, and especially it has something to do by means of patches utilized in edition 2.2 of libparted. I stature with the intention of if I might downgrade the libparted in my Mint to an before edition or description it might potential be fixed that way.

Extra than I do not be same with how to downgrade libparted nor do I recognize for convinced if that might work. Is there someone here who guesses he/she might lend a assist hand. It would to a better extent be appreciated by me and the numerous silent seekers of answers beginning from the Google search-engines.

I am conscious my trouble is not unique in various way, other than I would expect there is few solution for it. In view of the fact that it arrive into view the predicament lays via GParted, especially via the patches applied to the libparted edition or description 2.2 package, I be capable to imagine that downgrading libparted to an before edition might likely fix the trouble and allow the set up to continue. At least this is what I create up commencing from dissimilar posts on unlike forums.

A bit troubling is the fact with the purpose of if you are right and this plight has been approximately for years I same to be familiar with why there is no warning that this might happen as I position a week of work into this and if I not be able to fix it I determine to have to do the whole thing over.

I defeated the predicament minus obtaining into elaborated workarounds. What I did to be capable to shift on beginning from side to side my set up is I finished a backup by means of the backup instrument make present in Mint and stored with the purpose of on my other usb thumbdrive. This way at least I didn't have encompassed to do the completely thing over. The restoration of the backup went tremendously fast and the majority of it was successful.
