Fatal Error: Failed to mount nfs volume timed out

You don’t have to log in as root to install. You should at least include the sudo in front of the installation command.
Generally it is bad practice to use the root user for ANYTHING especially logging in to complete tasks, however it is acceptable to sudo su and run your commands or use sudo in front of each command you wish to elevate.
The reason you edit the lightdm.conf is so you can log in as the root user, but my recommendation is to leave lightdm.conf alone and use a regular user and call sudo when you need it.

I know this is a bit old but I just wanted to send off a “Fixed my problem” message. I had moved my /images from a directory on the root partition to a new larger partition mounted to /images. When I made the cp -a it did not, for some odd reason, copy either of the .mntcheck files in /images or /images/dev. After creating and setting permissions on those two files everything started to work again. Thanks much!!
