Help & support for Ultimate Edition 2.6


Re: Installation issues post here please.

Postby Gorki Z Kaprem » Fri May 14, 2010 8:53 pm

I tried installing Ultimate Linux on my Acer Aspire 9410-2079 laptop. I had UBUNTU 10.04 Lucid Lynx installed, but thought all the extras on Ultimate made it appealing. It installed right over UBUNTU with little effort. I'm still trying to figure out how to get my Broadcom wireless card to find my FIOS signal, so I can access the internet. I've Googled a lot of UBUNTU specific instructions, but I guess I'm missing something. A project still in the works.
I next tried installing it on my DELL Optiplex 745 with Hitachi HDS72161 160 GB Ata hard disk. However, when I got to where I wanted to designate the partition to install Ultimate Linux, I got a notice that there was no operating system on the drive.
At present I have two partitions on the drive, the primary having Windows XP, the secondary having UBUNTU 10.04, with the GRUB boot loader.
When I am on the live DVD, I can access both partitions. So, it appears that for some unknown reason the installation program can't see them.
Now, I absolutely love the way this installation program was able to let me install Linux Ultimate, overwriting UBUNTU 10.04 on its partiton. on my laptop, a 32 bit system. I hope there's a fix or update to the installation program, so I can try it on my desktop.
I thought at first my problem was that I was trying Ultimate Linux's 32 bit version, but when I got and tried the 64 bit, the same problem. I checked the hash totals of my downloaded file against those listed on the Ultimate Linux site, and they match.
Incidentally, the 64 bit link on your home page DOES NOT link to the Ultimate Linux 64 bit version, but to the 32 bit. I had to go to a mirror site and find a link to the 64 bit one. :twisted:

Welcome to the forum and to Ultimate Edition Gorki Z Kaprem,

There's a bug in the ubiquity installer that is well known for the problem of not seeing the other systems it's not a Ultimate Edition problem but a problem with ubiquity. It affects ubuntu as well.
Wrong message "no operating system" in graphical installer

Try selecting Manual and clicking Forward to load the manual partitioner. It sounds like you have some experience and should have no problem using it.

or
System > Administration > Install RELEASE
It's Ubiquity as well but I haven't heard of anyone having the problem going at it that route. Beats me why, I guess it's because nobody knows it's there.

I'll look into that as I'm sure others will. Thank you for letting us know, I found the link that you did and an Admin will fix that asap.

Re: a bug in the ubiquity installer

Postby Gorki Z Kaprem » Sat May 15, 2010 8:53 pm

I tried both selecting Manual and clicking Forward; and System > Administration > Install RELEASE. Still got the samer error.
My Linux 10.04 install is a little flaky, since I did Upgrade vs fresh install. And, I upgraded when 10.04 was at the Beta stage. I would think that was the prob, if I couldn't "see" the Windows XP and Ubuntu partitions when running Ultimate in live mode. I am running from a usb flash drive stick, with the ISO "installed" using UNETBOOTIN. Unless that "shook up" Ubiquity somehow. I could try burning the ISO to a DVD disk, if you think that would make any difference.

I don't know if it will help or not. The bug is one of those hit and miss type of things where you don't know when it will rear its ugly head. 2.6 is definitely worth giving it a shot. If you already know where you plan on installing it (the partition) you might also try deleting the partition in gparted and then try installing and recreating the partition in the installer, but there's no guarantee so you might delete a working OS in that case.
I'm not aware of a fix for it right now. :(

Hello Gorki Z Kaprem & welcome to U.E Forum.

1- All your issues with the installation come from the Acer Image that you have on your HDD.
As Default Acer machines come with ISO Image HFS on your HDD.
2-
Broadcom wireless

you can see that I have post the issue with this card at this point of time (Under bugs fix).
you can connect your Network with wireless with no problem to the Hidden Network.
To do that - Log in to the modem/router - Go to wireless - add your Network Name+pass,
and give the options of WPA/WPA2 personal - save and EXIT.
Then connect from the Network icon ( right top bar ) - To Hidden Network ( see the post here in the forum).
3- About the MS Issues - well you can install MS in the VBox After you have the U.E on your HDD.
It will work Faster and it will not make all the issues that you have mention in your post.
4- Use Parted Magic for the partition creation work fine all the way.

Now for the second post of your's here:

I tried both selecting Manual and clicking Forward; and System > Administration > Install RELEASE. Still got the samer error.
My Linux 10.04 install is a little flaky, since I did Upgrade vs fresh install. And, I upgraded when 10.04 was at the Beta stage. I would think that was the prob, if I couldn't "see" the Windows XP and Ubuntu partitions when running Ultimate in live mode. I am running from a usb flash drive stick, with the ISO "installed" using UNETBOOTIN. Unless that "shook up" Ubiquity somehow. I could try burning the ISO to a DVD disk, if you think that would make any difference.


To Fix the Mbr that you will see the MS USE the command with the MS CD (looks for post on this issue in the search) :
Code: Select all
fixmbr

This will Rewrite your MBR, and you will see your MS back.

Now the solution - If you have burn the MS from Acer in Advanced on DVD (with Acer tools),
Then you have nothing to worry about.
Use Parted Magic to format your HDD for Fresh install (After you have burn U.E on DVD not from MS burn option),
Use 3 party software Like Nero to Burn the ISO to DVD.
Just make sure to Burn on the lowest speed.
After you have it all done , Just format your HDD to UN ALLOCATED and Apply.
Then you can install U.E with no problem at all , After that the work with UNETBOOTIN on U.E will be like Game.
Hope I have cover the solution for you and the issues more clear now for you.

Good Luck to you.
Admin-Amir

HI, I installed UE-2.6 x64 on a new WD500gb green drive , cpu Icore2duo e4300. This is the new 4k sector drive series.
Ultimate Edition did it's default whole disk install. The system is running very nice and fast.
I just want to confirm that the install went to a 4k sector size?

My old ubuntu 8.04 (160gb drive p4-1.8mhz) /dev/sda1 start sector 63.
My new UE-2.6 (500gb drive e4300 mhz) /dev/sda1 start sector 2048. I do get this warning, partition 1 does not end on a cylinder boundry.
Is this ok , & warning should be ignored?

Thanks

I have a strange problem. I downloaded the ISO and checked the md5 sum and it was OK. Then I burned it on DVD with low speed. When I try to install to HDD the progress bar goes beyond %100. As I read on the forum that's normal and you should wait for it to finish. However the installation aborts saying that you must try to install in a cooler environment or something like that. I tried it on two PCs and the result was the same.

Hi mahdif62, and welcome to the forum.

I have never heard of such a message before. Could you give the exact message if it happens again?
Unless your pc temps. are nearing critical I don't know of any reason for a message like that. You could install lm-sensors and add the sensors applet to the top panel so you could monitor the temps. while installing to see if that's the case.

This would only be for while using the livedvd and would not be on the installed system or be there after a reboot (unless you installed them again) but if you want to add them to monitor the temps. here's how to do it.

Just open a Terminal (Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal) and type (or copy and paste):

Code: Select all
sudo apt-get install lm-sensors sensors-applet

Next, run sensors-detect. Answer y to each one until finished.
Code: Select all
sudo sensors-detect

Then right-click on the top panel and choose "Add to Panel.
Select "Hardware Sensors Monitor" and click the "Add" button, then "Close".
Right-click on all the sensors applet that appears on the top panel and choose "Preferences".
Click the "Sensors" tab. There you can select/de-select all the relevant sensors and adjust their low and high values as well as set alarms if desired.
<BREW>

The progress does go way beyond 100%. I have had it go to 193% before resuming at 78% and finishing at 100%. This was because ubuntu did the timing progression in a different way than was usually used which messed the timing and progression up. It has been sorted out now but too late for 2.6. Just think of it as the team giving their 215%. :lol:
