I get the same crash in backtrack 5 (backtrack5-gnome-32)。

I have the same error too

[Archangel-Amael]

I have the same error too

While I understand your frustration, posting the above really adds nothing to the dialogue. Perhaps adding some information about your hardware and or posting your error message would help others to help you, and the OP. Thanks.

Hi,

I got the the same error, in BT-5 Gnome-64 and KDE-64.

I'm booting on default in VMware 7.1.4 on a Windows 7 Professional 64-bit from the downloaded iso's. So not burned on cd or made a bootable usb.

Sometimes the error happens with the 1st click on the 'next' button sometimes later, with the KDE version it can even happen when installer is starting up freezing the whole session.
After a couple of new attempts i just reboted the host and got the gnome-version finally up and running. KDE still on a nice iso file.

I gave up on the KDE-version on VMware and swiched to VirtualBox. After a few attemps KDE got installed. But when I tried to make a 2de install the installer started to refuse again.
The other problem i got with the working KDE-version is to install the guest-additions. The installer log tells me it can't find the headers for my type of kernel in /lib/modules/2.3.28/build or soures

The gnome-version installed very nice without any problems on ViruatBox. Even the guest-additions installed with auto-run.

Edit:
I finaly got gnome and kde 64 installer working in vmware, check Backtrack 5 Fixes forum

I got the same problem. Actually, this is the second problem I encounter since in downloaded BT 5 (KDE 64bit). (startx didn't worked, but thanks to this forum it works now.)

But I want to INSTALL backtrack, but I got exactly the same error as mentioned above.

Is there nobody that can help us????
