Ultimate Edition 2.6.1

[ilamythest]

Like millions of others, I am a huge TheeMahn fan and an avid follower of Ultimate Edition, and have been since version 1.6. And I desperately want to download and install Ultimate 2.6.1 64bit.......(having been running windows 7 recently) I have downloaded it 3 times, burned it three different times, md5 checks out........burn verifies good, but on install it gets to 46% and errors out every time...............what am I doing wrong? computer specs are I have an amd athlon dual core processor, 4 gig memory, nvidia graphics, a 320 gb hard drive partitioned for dual boot with Ultimate Edition and Win7, and a 1TB for storage. Please help........I really want to use this OS.

exact ditto for me! I don`t think you are doing anything in error because I have the same result. I have downloaded the iso twice with md5sums checking OK both times.Burnt iso image to dvd, slow <x4 via k3b;put on usb using unetbootin run from pmagic5.7 and also put on usb via start up disk creator from the live UE2.6.1 x86_64 dvd and repeated usb installs with the second downloaded iso image.All attempted installs errored out at 46%with the read/write error. I have since installed another OS to a different partition without error so I know the usb and unetbootin app is OK.I have always thought my cd/dvd drive was at fault but managed to use it anyway with persistance(cleaning retying etc). Hopefully some happy helpfull hint may be forthcoming (eg. a trick boot parameter or?)

I am ripping it down, Bnjamin_breeg said he had the exact same issue same % NTL. I assumed a bad disk / burn. He took a USB stick loaded with it and installed 100% (one of the local beta testers that called me and said ship it). I will have to look into it in greater detail. My apologies, I will build it again and test it on DVD. What do they say about assuming? I guess I brought in the new year wrong. I do not test on DVD medium I would go through a 1000 dvd's a month. Around here it is is much faster / beneficial to load a USB stick & I assure you if you load it on a USB stick it will finish.

That is not the point, I will fix whatever ails it. I apologize once again to the ~600 ppl that downloaded it. Thank God Distrowatch did not pick us up (I have password protected the post & ripped it off sourceforge, so should not happen). I am betting it was to due to replacing the kernel with the newest and ripping the original out (which is very beneficial as seen here & first time I have ever done so on any release it is very heavy). Ubiquity probably has a setting in it to point to the old kernel at 46% and can not find the old associated kernel. I do not understand what the difference it makes in the USB side, but will investigate & learn.

Once again I apologize, and will test it on both mediums next release. To me it is worth it, it is flawless once installed. I will make it right.

Sorry & thanks for being a TheeMahn fan. I am also sorry, I do not know everything & not perfect

Wow, this makes me rethink. Perhaps I should unload the USB stick to an ISO and see if MD5sum's match. I may have uploaded the wrong Ultimate Edition 2.6.1, I have built it 1000's of times, it is hard to keep track of these things. Let's test the theory:

We load Ultimate Edition 2.6.1 to a usb stick, 2.9 sits on the burner again. The same is sitting on the server, at least ours, no longer sourceforge.

Incase I get the hammer ;) I am bouncing back to re-build. Regardlessly will happen. 2.6.1 or be it 2.6.

You are right... I do not like to not have some entertainment while installing ;)

Where is my issue?

I uploaded the wrong release. No problem, I will rebuild it from the ground up again. I still have the software I wrote. As it sits now, I could rebuild it and even before I have the first pushed to the net the second is in queue. brb installing 2.6 my 2.9 is history

104% and conky is different, when I am done you will feel the love. I am sorry, I made a mistake.

I work for you understand that.

I want you to also understand you do not see this in 2.6.1 Among many other things I have fixed / enhanced.

I am running 2.6.1 (64) right now. I had no trouble d/loading burning and installing.

USB or DVD? brb, I am going to install it USB first if I see it go through will burn it and take the same steps.

[billhedrick]

I burnt a DVD and installed it with no issues

Ultimate Edition 2.6.1 - more then a maintenance release.

I felt since Ubuntu drops maintenance releases. IE 10.04.1, it is Long Term Support (LTS), for us to to do likewise. I do not look for there to be a Ultimate Edition 2.6.2, for a lack of a better word I feel is perfect. For my perceivable future I intend to run this O/S, not that there is anything wrong with Ultimate Edition 2.8. Amazing how many bugs get squashed shortly after a "final release", a few I have personally implemented. I am thinking Ultimate Edition 2.9 only to run momentarily as I build it. Why some may ask? I am not a KDE mahn and prefer stability

If I was currently running Ultimate Edition 2.6, would I run out and snag 2.6.1? If I was happy with my current O/S absolutely not, the only real gain would be the "fixes", updates and upgrades, which you have probably already downloaded & installed through your update manager. If I somehow managed to whack my O/S 2.6.1 would be the logical answer. I now take this back, after seeing what it now does. Ultimate Edition 2.6.1 was built off 10.04.1 a total re-build. It will be my main O/S until at the very minimum Ultimate Edition 3.0.

I unleashed the below on the forum users & many loved it, however what we have now is a multitude better. A complete re-build from the ground up & why the great delay. I can not stress how much better Ultimate Edition 2.6.1 is over 2.6.

Well on to the details, what is Ultimate Edition 2.6.1? Ultimate Edition 2.6.1 is a Long Term Supported (LTS) release. Changes in Ultimate Edition 2.6.1 v/s Ultimate Edition 2.6 are as follows:

• 10.04.1 is the base of the build, many fixes and upgrades pre and post applied.
• Kernel 2.6.32-27 (rebuild of vmlinuz and initrd.lz & purged all older kernels)
• All Ultimate Edition based themes rebuilt and replaced (this will add gigs of additional space to the O/S in the future)

Bug Fixes:

• Cursor / Compiz issue
• Broken repository removed
• Removed wine-doors (broken)
• Fixed metapackage
• Fixed progressbar going beyond 100%

Additional Software:

• Ailurus
• Imagination
• Cairo clock
• Miro
• Moovida
• Exaile
• Conky script
• Samba
• Gphpedit

I have also re-wrote the conky-builder it executes on bootup and generates as per your hardware (does not autorun conky itself, I leave that up to the end user). I love eyecandy.

I am going to make this a global post and point a link here for the reason of the delay. Thanks gentlemen for bringing it to my attention.
