ARM - installs

[Elfy]

I am having a complete nightmare :(

I've not got one daily to load and allow me to install - they've all 
been failing on ubiquity before the live get's to a state to do anything 
at all.

I have managed to get the alpha3 to install perfectly ok.

If I update and upgrade that leaves me at a desktop with no launcher, no 
ability to start a terminal or run one from Alt+F2

I have though been able to run the gnome-classic desktop's from the 
updated a3.

Is it something I'm doing ...

These are all being installled to the sdcard not a usb stick.
