gold_finger,
I have spent a week or so building and rebuilding so that I can create work out what is broken:
I found the error is do to the build script created when building a special location for the install. This is an Xubuntu issue not Linux Lite (but it does impact it) it has to do with partition software failing to mark the correct flags on a /home that is already in place. In my case: I want to run Linux Lite, I run the installer and select the SSD/HDD to install “/” then I select the LVM and/or Single HDD that has my home on it. The (X)ubuntu (I also found that (Mate)ubuntu does the same) install fails to mark the flags and I have a system with no home. I then have to add the home afterwards.
Or it fails to boot and I have to fix grub as it does not install it to the right location even when selected.
But with all that said if it works then there is also the settings that controls the way LL (XFCE settings) looks when setup if you are migrating system and you clear all but the core data out of home (all “.” files) it still breaks none of the script get put in the inline “/” it does not create items needed in the /home like (.local) which needed to use the system correctly. So when I first started using LL when it was still 1.0.8, I made a post that I broke something and talked with Jerry (Valtam) and was told just run Linux Lite on a single drive and it works. (As I was running side by side with windows) (I was going to quote the post but I think it is on the old forums) Jerry was right when it came to installing it.
So as I said before I have found that if you use a split /home (on another drive/part) it will break LL/Xubuntu/Mate reason I avoid when testing to put LL on anything that does not have a inline "/" which means no spares or side by sides. Either a solo install or a virtualbox.
As most installs for new users will happen in a single drive with only LL as the OS there is no need to to build a side script rebuild symbolic links to work with a non inline setups.
But if you want to run a split system/or do a migration do a inline and then move the /home afterwards to the new location and then update the fstab to the new /home location.
That is just what I have found with both 2.0 and 2.2 and anything that uses (X)ubuntu installer.
The glib error is the same on both but has nothing to do with the problem. I would fix it if I knew the best way without breaking everything related to the installers GUI as it is related to the render.
Anyway I have already submitted up the chain in Xubuntu the issue with the installer.
You are also right I am not a “beginner” I greatly dislike the term Newbie as it detracts from the learning process. I have been around Unix/BSD and Gnu/Linux for sometime by no means do I know everything I know what is needed to get my chroots, my jails and lvm’s to work.
