somehow. I used route(8) to tell pelican that it can reach 10.0.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 through eth0, but that didn't do the trick, and I'm at the limit of my understanding of this stuff. Thanks - L. Peter Deutsch [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Installer crashes at 'Prepare mount points&#

Public bug reported: I added some new users to my freshly installed Ubuntu 12.04 system using adduser in a Terminal window -- something I've done successfully with 3 previous Ubuntu releases. Now everything is OK at the filesystem level (/etc/passwd, /home/*, etc.), but neither the System Settings
