freeztar Posted August 24, 2007 Report Posted August 24, 2007 Could it be a toasted disc? Try burning another one, perhaps. Ok, I'm gonna try another burn, but I do not think that is the problem as the menu appears and everything seems to be in order, initially at least. More to come... Quote
Tormod Posted August 24, 2007 Report Posted August 24, 2007 I found this with some help by Google: Some common beginner Linux installation issues - www.reallylinux.com The next biggest problem that I've seen occur with a new user installing Ubuntu, is that the disk they have or the ISOs they've downloaded are corrupt. It is essential if you are downloading any Linux version from the internet, that you perform the vital checksum. and In most cases the key installation issue stems from bad burns or bad ISO downloads The only reason I mention it is that I had to burn a full set of DVD coasters before I could install Kubuntu last year... :eek_big: Quote

That is not comforting. I tried a burn to DVD and had worse results, I didn't even get the menu before it shut down. I'll try to re-download and burn on my muso comp, which is much more stable.

Tormod Posted August 24, 2007 Report Posted August 24, 2007 I seem to remember that in the end it turned out that it wasn't actually my download that was corrupt though. It was the burner on my laptop. I needed to upgrade the firmware and that solved it. But burning from another PC might solve it. Good luck mate. :eek_big: Quote
C1ay Posted August 24, 2007 Report Posted August 24, 2007 I'd try a copy of Knoppix to confirm or rule out any issues with Kubuntu.... Quote
