Trixbox Pro SE Installs OS only
Submitted by Atcom Alberta on Mon, 07/14/2008 - 8:19pm.
Hello,
I've downloaded & burned the ISO a couple of times, but my Tbox pro install won't go past the OS - it gets to the # command prompt and no further. I can SSH into the box OK.
The install checked the CD & said it was good.
The CPU is an AMD Athlon 64 LE-1640
1 GB RAM
160 GB SATA HD
This is an Acer Aspire M1100 system.
Any ideas? I guess I'll just try Tbox CE...
No Activation Prompt

No, I didn't - the install never got that far. After I copied the CD onto the harddrive and tried to manually install the Trixbox software by running install.sh (which failed) I would get an instruction at the logon prompt that said I should enter the username "activate". When I would try to do so, the system would quickly flash the "last logon time/date" to the screen and just go back to the logon prompt.
I haven't tried an install

I haven't tried an install on a VMware (virtual server?) - that's a little beyond my scope of knowledge at this point. I'm working with a brand new box I purchased specifically for this purpose, it has never run Windows or anything else. I did burn the ISO to both a CD (3 times) and a DVD (once), both with the same result.
The CD-ROM drive is a built-in SATA drive...
Similar Problem Fixed

I had almost the same issue with my TB Pro install. It would act like a normal Linux install rather than an automated TB Pro install. When it rebooted it went straight to the root login and didn't launch the activation. I was using an external USB DVD drive to run the install. I cracked open the case and plugged in a regular IDE CDROM drive and everything worked fine. It may not like that SATA CD drive you have in your system. Try plugging in an IDE drive if you have a controller for it on your board.
same issue

I had same issue when I installed trixboxPro EE CCE SE with external USB CD-ROM drive.
Installation always fails and couldn't initiate trixboxPro activation.
Similar problems were reported in this forum and it seems not fixed yet.
Only solution is as cdrichla said use regular IDE CDROM drive.
Works now...

Thanks for the info guys, the install worked fine once I put an IDE CD/DVD drive in. Thats the good news - the bad news is that I'm VERY disappointed with TB Pro. It seems incredibly limited compared to the CE version and the GUI is quite slow. Not a product I think I'll sell...
