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?

You likely have the "desktop-1386" version.

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

    • It's very pretty, IMO. I've always loved the Windows 7-style of UI design. 7 was the prettiest Windows ever. I'd love Microsoft to be THIS consistent and I'd love them to return to that.
    • Here are the Macs that support macOS 26 Tahoe by Taras Buria In addition to iOS 26, iPadOS 26, watchOS 26, and tvOS 26, Apple announced macOS 26 Tahoe, a new desktop operating system. Like the other operating systems made in Cupertino, macOS Tahoe features a redesigned UI with Liquid Glass, translucent icons, and other visual upgrades. There are also plenty of new features, such as a new Phone app for Mac, Live Activities on Mac, a massive Spotlight update, and a lot more. However, not all Mac owners will get to enjoy macOS 26. Like with iOS and iPadOS, Apple is dropping a few Macs with the release of macOS 26. You will be able to update to the new operating system if you own one of the following Apple computers. MacBook Air M1 and newer MacBook Pro M1 and newer MacBook Pro 13-inch 2020 (four Thunderbolt 3 ports) and newer MacBook Pro 16-inch 2019 iMac 2020 and newer Mac mini 2020 and newer Mac Studio 2022 and newer Mac Pro 2019 and newer Note that although Apple still supports Intel-based Macs, not all features will be available on systems that do not have Apple Silicon chips. Now-unsupported Macs that cannot upgrade from macOS Sequoia to macOS Tahoe are the following computers with Intel processors: Intel-based iMac 2019 Intel-based Mac mini 2018 iMac Pro Intel-based MacBook Air 2020 Intel-based MacBook Pro 2018 macOS 26 Tahoe is now available for developers to try in the beta program. Apple plans to launch the first public beta in July, alongside the release of public betas of iOS 26, iPadOS 26, and other operating systems that the company announced earlier today. You can find all the new features in macOS 26 Tahoe on the official Apple website.
    • I hope Microsoft goes back to the Fisher Price XP look first.
    • >It is a fundamental change to how macOS looks and feels, which some Neowin readers are definitely not a fan of. Hehe. You link to one of my posts here, but I actually LOVE glass effects and have spent the last decade or so hacking Windows to be more like Vista's Aero Glass, etc. Not sure why you thought my post implied I didn't like it. I was referring more to Apple copying this from Windows. I wish MS would being more glass/acrylic/mica to W11 ASAP! Maybe they will...by copying Apple this time.
