Hi all,
I have a strange problem. I can't install Ultimate Edition 2.2 or 2.3, both x86 and x64 versions on my main system.
I'll tell you what I did.
I downloaded the ISO's and checksummed them. They are ok.
I burned them on DVD. And verivied them. Also no problems detected.
(for your info.) My main goal is to use the the x64 version on my pc. And I can't wait till 2.4 is ready.
After booting, I can come into the live session. That's no problem. The problems start during the installation.
I have dedicated one 1Tb harddrive for Linux. It has to work in dualboot with M$ Vista/Windows7 Ultimate x64 (*cough*) yeah yeah, I know.
Every time I can get to 5%. >> it's formatting and making the ext3.
Then after a while it gives a error message and disappears or it disappears wihout any message. Or It sais that it has problems with the dvd. bla bla dirty burner, errors etc.
This for sure isn't the problem because I have burned like 10-15+ DVD's with these 4 distro's from max speed to 1x speed. (I know I'm crazy. But when I have a problem I'm turfing every single problem out.)
Now, what else I did.
I downloaded Ubuntu 9.04 (x86 and x64) and did everything the same. (but only burned them one time.)
I installed from live session. Installation crashed again at 5% and one time at 10%. (I still don't know why it went on to 10%.)
Rebooted the pc. Then I used the 2nd option on the bootscreen. >>> This option is not available on the Ultimate Edition bootscreen.
The 2nd option allows you to install Ubuntu directly.
And yup. I didn't get any errors. Flawless install.
First I tested it with the x86 version, also installed it the same way on my fathers pc, after that I tried the x64 version. Same thing, installation without any problems.
Only thing I can think of is that there is something activated in the live session that prohibits (on some pc configurations?) that you can install / write partion information to the system. Perhaps a user right's problem?
Anyway. I was (and am) curious if you guys have some ideas.
or perhaps it can be solved by changing some installation parameters?
I realy want to install Ultimate Edition 2.3 / 2.4 on my system.
I also wanna try to run World of Warcraft on it. hehe, I know it can.
