Regards, -- Zack ** Description changed: 1) The release of Ubuntu you are using, via 'lsb_release -rd' or System -> About Ubuntu: Lubuntu 12.10, as provided by lubuntu-12.10-alternate-x86_64 2) The version of the package you are using, via 'apt-cache policy pkgname' or by checking in Software Center: lubuntu-desktop 0.45 0 3) What you expected to happen: the same Iso can be used to carry out a successful lubuntu-desktop install via both a CD based install and a PXE based network install. 4) What happened instead: CD based install gets a fully working graphical login UI. PXE network based install just gets a text login. - More details and an actual use case below: + More test details and an actual use case below: + + (A) Test details: The lubuntu-12.10-alternate-x86_64.iso can be burned to a CD and a full working lubuntu-desktop install can be carried out without even having network access (tested via pulling off the Ethernet cable from the test PC). Nevertheless, an attempt to use the same iso for a hands-off PXE network install fails to install a full desktop.
