Ubuntu Install Error

[krishna]

After booting from CD (live), I choosed to install by double clicking on install. After few screens I get below error. Is it a bad CD?

hmmm thats odd... try installing again maybe...

[h3xis]

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]

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?

You likely have the "desktop-1386" version.

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

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.

[markwolfe Veteran]

You can also md5sum the CD. ;)

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)
