EDIT: problem solved by booting from an SD card instead of (possibly faulty) USB HDD.
so far have been unable to install ubuntu 10.04 on a lenovo thinkpad X200s ...
steps to reproduce:
1. download AMD64 desktop image (in previous releases i used the 32-bit image)
2. create a USB startup disk as per usual
3. boot from the startup disk. so far so good. now the problems:
4. network-manager not running. i start it manually and it appears in the notification area, but the wlan device is 'not managed'. wireless networking worked out of the box in 9.10
5. ubiquity does not work. clicking the install icon does nothing. running it in a terminal gives:
Inhibit all polling failed: Failed to execute program /lib/dbus-1.0/dbus-daemon-launch-helper: Success
6. random crash notifications pop up (not relating to ubiquity)
7. the system does not shut down, and once logged off will not log back in. i have to resort to holding down the power button
has anyone else had a similar experience? could it be due to my switch to the AMD64 release?
