Hello,

I have been working on this for af few days now,

I have installed the operating systme about 4-6 times now, everything goes seemingly well, except at the end of the install I dont get asked for a install code.

I have gone through the wiki a times as will and the fourms trying to see if someone else is having this issue. everything seems like its running fine except no install code prompt, it goes straight to the reboot process. from there I cant log into the HDA, which at first I thought was because of my u-verse router, but when I noticed on my 3rd install I wasn't getting asked to enter the install code it was appartant I was doing something wrong.

recap:

1 amahi 8 Minimal (CD) Install
2 followed the instructions from here
2 everything runs smoothly
3 no install prompt but still seems finish install no problems
4 cant log into HDA ( maybe due to router but not sure yet)

I am sorry if this was answered somewhere, I cant seem to find any info on this.

There is no install code prompt. The OS install is separate from the Amahi install.

If you followed the instructions in the wiki, there are separate steps for installing Amahi 8 using terminal. This incorporates the install code portion.

Not sure what guidance you are following, but you have missed something. This is outlines in the wiki specifically.

You need to do:

su -
Then once you are root, do the lines of code.

Are you executing it as root user?

Code: Select all

whoami
That will tell you if you are root user or not.
I presume you are substituting the install code from amahi.org too, correct?

Ok, did you manually type the command:

Code: Select all

hda-install installcode
Replacing installcode with your code.

Also please provide the URL for the following command:

Code: Select all

fpaste --sysinfo

Based on the URL provided, it does not appear you have followed all of the instructions for installing Amahi 8.

The first and third command lines don't appear to have been run. Recommend you run all of them one at a time from top to bottom, then try the hda-install command. Remember, these all have to be run as root user.
