Hello, This usually happens when you're running an installer with the wrong architecture for your OS. e.g. The 64-bit installer on a 32-bit Ubuntu or vice versa.
Check if your Ubuntu is 64-bit. Execute in a terminal: uname -a If it has a 64-bit kernel you should get *x86_64* in the returned string. e.g. Linux <hostname> 2.6.31-20-generic #58-Ubuntu SMP Fri Mar 12 04:38:19 UTC 2010 *x86_64* GNU/Linux If it's not 64-bit then obviously you should download the Linux 32-bit installer.
