Reboot the test pc.

Please perform another install if that's ok, I think we're getting close.
Same exact install routine as I posted in Post #26, except for the Partition Drives task.
Then run this:

Code:

sudo pkill -9 gvfs-udisks2-volume-monitor; gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.media-handling automount false; xfconf-query -c thunar-volman -p /automount-drives/enabled -s false

When that's all done, please launch the installer. Perform the install.

Changed the code command to the above.

Quick update - it looks promising, the installer has completed the partitioning phase and begun unpacking the image.

I had to add a -f flag to the pkill command to allow it to search and match the process name.

I'll report later.

Oooh don't get me excited!
FYI please zip and attach any session logs from now on. Cheers Steve.
