installed mythbuntu, selecting french as language and montreal as timezone. other options pretty straight forward. all myth plugins selected, closed nvidia driver (geforce 2-4)...

just tried it again, this time installed in english, english keyboard, newyork timezone and it went right.

So it must be either with montreal timezone, french language or french keyboard...

I selected all others options just the same.

Thanks!

P.S.: Mythbuntu rocks! Good job guys!

Same error trying install mythbuntu on a VM Ware.
I selected german, vienna time and standard installation.

Anyway, mythbuntu is great...

I´m sory for my information before, I didn´t try to do a standartinstallation becuase I wanted to install vnc as well. that installation didn´t work.

ubiquity (1.7.0) hardy; urgency=low

  [ Mario Limonciello ]
  * Divert gtk frontend .desktop file and logo to a better location
    so that it isn't improperly sourced by Xfce.
  * Properly execute mythbuntu frontend from .desktop file.
  * Set default mythtv theme on all installs to be mythtv-theme-mythbuntu.
  * Fix a few typos preventing xmltv from being installed.
  * Launch mythtv-setup.real in a terminal window allowing xmltv
    to be used during it.
  * Fix typo preventing mysql service from activating.
  * Fail more gracefully if we can't do aticonfig.
  * Add apt-cdrom to target system for mythbuntu to work around
    apt-setup not working in ubiquity-mythbuntu. (LP: #154732)

  [ Michael Haas ]
  * Force LC_CTYPE as a temporary workaround for locale issues
    when writing out VNC. (LP: #149935, #150029)

  [ Colin Watson ]
  * Fix ubiquity-frontend-* and ubiquity-artwork-* virtual package name
    generation to handle ~ in versions.
  * Add an intro message noting that we're alpha again.
  * Adjust for localechooser 1.40:
    - Cope with localechooser asking countrychooser/country-name rather than
      countrychooser/shortlist.
  * Remove the pregenerated snakeoil certificate and reconfigure ssl-cert so
    that each system gets a unique snakeoil certificate.

  [ Evan Dandrea ]
  * Removed the somewhat confusing reminder to remove the CD from the reboot
    dialog. Casper handles telling the user this at the right moment via
    a final usplash message. (LP: #70088)
  * Automatic update of included source packages: base-installer
    1.85ubuntu2, choose-mirror 2.19ubuntu1, clock-setup 0.92ubuntu1,
    console-setup 1.19ubuntu1, debian-installer-utils 1.49ubuntu1, grub-
    installer 1.27ubuntu1, hw-detect 1.58ubuntu1, kboot-installer
