[Solved] Problems after fresh install - live-boot

We don't support installations in VirtualBox, VMWare, qemu or others. We ignore posts about WINE, PlayOnLinux, Steam and Skype. We don't support btrfs, lvm, UEFI, side-by-side installations with GPT or dualboot with anything newer than Windows XP.
Google your problem first. Check the Wiki. Read the existing threads. It's okay to "hijack" an existing thread, yes! If your problem is not yet covered, open a new thread. To get the quickest possible help, mention the exact release codename in your post (uname -a is a good idea, too). Due to the lack of crystal balls, attach the output of lspci -nnk if you encounter hardware problems.

[Solved] Problems after fresh install - live-boot

Unread post by RandomCharacter » Sat Oct 04, 2014 12:06 am

After a fresh install of Hot Dog, I had problems every time I tried to install anything. Here is a section of one log:

Code: Select all

ERROR: apt-get install failed
After a good bit of searching and guessing, I removed packages live-boot and live-boot-initramfs-tools. The apt-get remove task continued and fixed the above installation problems, too.
