Ubuntu Install Error


Recommended Posts

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.

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

You likely have the "desktop-1386" version.

As Tiftof mentioned, the error posted said to look into your syslogs for details.

    • No, my laptop really, truly does not meet the specs for Copilot, which is no doubt why it was never installed. So there's no problem here to solve.
    • This feature has been useful when applying for jobs and creating/editing cover letters in seconds! Not worried MS might see the jobs I'm applying to 🤣
    • What annoys me is the people that try to buy a higher end product, and then low ball you, and say but I don't need that function, all I need is to use it for video out so I don't feel like paying higher price.   I had a person that was trying to buy RTX 3080 from me for $100 and his excuse was, well I won't be playing games on it, I just need four monitor outout. Or someone was trying to buy 2TB Gen5 M.2 for $50, well I don't need the speed, is just for basic storage. Or i was offered $80 for 20TB hard drive, that person said well, right now I only about 7TB, so rest won't be in use Just some examples in last month or two...   The guy with the 3080, I replied to with something like go to Chevy dealer and offer them $15K for that brand new corvette and tell them that you you only need to drive to work, so you don't need to go fast.   There a lot of low ballers that try to take advantage.

    • Here in Finland we have lots of rural areas with narrow roads, one of the highest taxes in the world (cars are taxed way above EU standards) and fuel is quite expensive. Yet we educate our drivers to drive responsibly and safely in all areas, and our people respect each others rights and freedom to move around safely. Which is why we have even small children under 10 years old walking and cycling alone to schools in the streets, even in big cities. Safety is about being responsible and about respecting others. And I would hate to see AI (or anyone else) destroy our way of life. There are and always will be outliers, accidents happen and machines break. I dont't want to see people relying on AI to do things like driving for them. I want people to think and react to the world around them themselves, and being responsible instead of them browsing TikTok or whatever instead of looking out the window, and then saying that "It wasn't me, it was the car". Already people walk around town with their eyes glued to a screen – I don't want people driving around the same way.
