To install a deb file you can use: sudo dpkg -i file.deb And it will install, you can make apt attempt to satisfy dependancys (if they are needed) with: sudo apt-get -f install Should be fine -Andy On Sat, Jul 3, 2010 at 10:14 PM, Daniel Hallett dhallett2...@gmail.comwrote: How am I able

Hi Bob, the 95% stall on install is a known 'bug'. I do not know how much RAM you have on the Dell, but a couple of pointers that may help from this problem... Then a perused through the bios setting and found the setting APIC Mode was set to Disabled. I changed it to Enabled and that seemed to

Burn as SLOWLY as you are allowed. Even 1x if you can. It will give a better image on the CD and will reduce errors by jitter and such. Using a USB device alleviates the need for moving CDs and such (assuming you can boot USB). If not definately burn slow, try another brand if you still get issues

Those instructions are solely for the 10.04 disk, if you are using a different installation method then the check sum will be different. If you pop over to the thread http://forum.phillw.net/viewtopic.php?f=18t=94 that gives the 10.04 release, I would need to update it for the release levels for

Sure, I can write up a version for Maverick, as soon as I understand what's actually happening with the whole process. I mean, I took Andy's advice and made a bootable USB stick instead (much faster than the CD.. glad I learned about that) but I still don't know why the CD burn process is causing

Hi Bob, If the CD is not burned at 4X speed, it can cause horrors. In 9.10 I could burn at that rate, in 10.04 I cannot. As a part of these 'funnies' that happen, one of the tech guys told me that he could not burn at 4X in 9.10 but can do in 10.04 . I have learned to 'cheat' and use CD-RW's

Hi Bob, does the iso that you are using pass the md5? If you're using the https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu#Download Lubuntu then I can ask as to how the iso burns to a usb with checking the md5. Regards, Phill. On Mon, Jul 5, 2010 at 2:49 AM, Bob Trevithick bob.trevith...@gmail.comwrote:
