At the request of Andrew Thomas, senior member of linuxquestions.org, I'm adding the information that I gathered when I encountered with KDE installer bug. I've posted information in two other forums while looking for help to get a workaround or fix to the problem. The following are links to the forum threads at linuxmint (Aug-26-2012) and linuxquestions (Sep-2-2012):
- http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-mint-84/mint-13-kde-64-bit-installer-crashes-4175425285/ - http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=111087 I'm attempting to install Mint 13 KDE 64 bit into a 30GB partition (/dev/sda7). sda1 = Mint 13 Cinnamon 64bit sda5 = Mint 13 Mate 64bit sda6 = Mint 13 XFCE 64bit sda7 = **was for KDE** sda8 = /home for all linux installs sda9 = swap sda1 is the only primary partition sda5-9 are logical drives All partitions are 30GB with the exception of the swap being 8GB (rarely used since I have 8GB of RAM). Only the KDE install fails (from USB keys and DVDs). Prior Linx Mint, Ubuntu, and Arch Linux versions installed without a problem. Distro: Linux Mint 13 KDE 64 bit Issue/Bug: The KDE Installer aborts/crashes to the live DVD desktop if the user performs manual partition setup/selection. The bug is not limited to the above distro and may affect 32-bit distro editions as well.
