Wheezy installer problem

2013-08-15 Thread Robert Holtzman
After installing Wheezy 7.0 twice on different machines w/ no problems I can't get 7.1 to install in manual mode on my amd64 laptop. Everything is fine until I get to the point of writing partition changes to the disk. That's when I'm asked if I want to continue (yes) or return to the partitioner.

In squeeze I was able to set up keyboard shortcuts in gnome using System->Preferences->keyboard shortcuts. In wheezy/lxde I can't find how to do this. Searching turned up a comment about editing a lxde-rc.xml file but I can't open it with anything except as a raw file which is unintelligible to me.

Some time ago I set up a shortcut to open a terminal (ctrl+A) which worked for several months. As of a month or two ago the shortcut began working *only* right after booting. Anytime after that it had the effect of highlighting all my desktop icons but didn't open the terminal. Various searches yi
