With the aim of getting my hardware running with Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty Jackalope) beta, and having failed with the clean install from the i386 alternate CD, I followed the process below, which lead to an error message which MIGHT be related to the Jaunty alternate CD install error described above.
So here goes - I first did a clean install of Ubuntu 8.04.1 LTS using the i386 alternate CD. - no problems. Rebooted - no problems. Immediately ran "update-manager -d" to force a distribution upgrade from the internet. Followed on screen prompts and upgraded to 8.10 - without any problems. Rebooted - no problems. Decided to insert the problematic Jaunty beta alternate CD (used above), and see what happens. Followed the prompts and started a distribution upgrade from CD and selecting NOT to get updates from internet (to test what was supplied on the problematic CD - as any internet updates may have otherwise masked possible issues with the CD). This seemed to go well for a long while, but eventually a window appeared saying - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Could not install '/media/cdrom0//pool/main/e/evolution/evolution-documentation-en_2.26.0-0ubuntu2_all.deb' The upgrade will continue but the '/media/cdrom0//pool/main/e/evolution /evolution-documentation-en_2.26.0-0ubuntu2_all.deb' package may be in a not working state. Please consider submitting a bug report about it. subprocess dpkg-split returned error exit status 2 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Having closed this error message, the upgrade has continued for at least an hour so far, without further problems (yet !). Only another 1 hour and 27 minutes to go !!! - yes it takes a long time on a 533MHz CPU optimised for low power consumption ! -- Alternate install hangs requesting jaunty CD https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/351053 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
