h3xis Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 Wow :blink: I'm not familiar with the different means of installing Ubuntu but does Ubuntu have floppy images or net installs for download?

Tiftof Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 Maybe look at /var/log/installer/syslog and /var/log/syslog like it says in the pic and look for more specific information. And maybe the cd is faulty... I know that Breezy had an option during the install to check the cd for errors, probably that option is around somewhere in the dapper installation too. I can't remember seeing it though. Just have look around.

markwolfe Veteran Posted August 9, 2006 Veteran Share Posted August 9, 2006 Is it a bad CD? We can't tell you. You tell us. Does the md5sum check out? Per http://ftp.ussg.iu.edu/linux/ubuntu-releases/6.06/MD5SUMS df03811bfc9f2a73672887a36d531965 ubuntu-6.06-alternate-amd64.iso b2e9120f06d70cc076c1852c6c04654e ubuntu-6.06-alternate-i386.iso 12bd53a48d7afbcfb0eae6794a1ac02f ubuntu-6.06-alternate-powerpc.iso 722b8b4a75f977a76a722d4a2b071b19 ubuntu-6.06-desktop-amd64.iso e2e5e0bfb2edffd2ce02dd77bda4558e ubuntu-6.06-desktop-i386.iso 410d766d75a3afaa7f04c0c7dbdfd8da ubuntu-6.06-desktop-powerpc.iso 02772b8b3461c246a2154aa6e699335b ubuntu-6.06-server-amd64.iso 4c7c835d244453b9a29d397e5cd973fd ubuntu-6.06-server-i386.iso c1f9c3dc78572bc2ce76d44776949fcc ubuntu-6.06-server-powerpc.iso 82da246064785adb7b87e5aa0cb5764c ubuntu-6.06-server-sparc.iso You likely have the "desktop-1386" version. As Tiftof mentioned, the error posted said to look into your syslogs for details.

Mr. Chronopoulos Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 I will post syslogs soon. markjensen: its a CD install not ISO file. ISO ----> Burner ----> CD Therefore, it is an ISO file, just burned to a CD.

ViperSnake Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 Just use the Alternate install CD, it uses the less buggy and more dependable debian-installer, and it's text based (But pretty easy to use) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/485302-ubuntu-install-error/#findComment-587773558 Share on other sites More sharing options...
