Public bug reported: Ubuntu 7.04 (Feisty) fails to install from a CD (not a DVD) in a Sony NEC Optiarc AD-7173A, a recent DVD drive model. During the file/package installation stage, there occurs a red error screen and installation cannot continue.
I have tested this on two different computers -- Asus P4P800 and Asus P5B-VM. I have tested multiple times on each computer. The same Ubuntu CD I tested with isn't defective, either, because I have used it with other CD-ROM/DVD-ROM drives and have successfully managed to install Ubuntu. The same drive works under Windows Vista without getting any read or write errors. I haven't tested yet with Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy), and will report when I do. ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Error with Sony NEC Optiarc AD-7173A; drive practically unusable with Ubuntu https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/162050 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
