Public bug reported: Downloaded an installation/live-cd (xubuntu 11.04 this time). Checked the iso image md5sum, etc.
Note (because the question was asked): this is on a CD-RW drive, not a DVD. The status replies which the drive sends back to the driver indicate it supports "TAO SAO" modes, but not "RAW." I mention that because ISTR that I had to burn in RAW mode in the past, when I used a Windows program to do the burn or it would not work. I have repeated the downloads, checked them, etc. Tried to burn using wodim -- that has been most successful means of burning a bootable CD. No matter what combination of options I've thought of, the resultant CD boots successfully; however, when I select either Install ..., or Try Without Installing, the load-up fails with a complaint about being unable to access "filesystem.squashfs" The same result occurs if I try the "Check disk" option in the install program. How humiliating! To create a good install disk, I need to use my stepdaughter's Windows(tm) machine. It's quite possible this is a configuration problem, but I have no idea what more to try. ** Affects: ubiquity (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/796592 Title: Downloaded .iso Installation Image Fails to Load System To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/796592/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
