Public bug reported: Binary package hint: cdrom-checker
You need to have a CD with an error in it, in my case I think there was a problem with the first iso that I downloaded. I used this image: ubuntu-6.06.1-desktop-amd64.iso (1) boot the desktop CD (2) run the "check CD" option (3) check the screen every five minutes, until it finds a bad file (4) take photos Before finding a bad file, you should see: File names on the left in brown, OK on the right in a brighter shade. After a bad file has been found you should see: File names on the left in brown, OK on the right in a brighter shade. Further to the right, also in a pale brown, the letters "ch" (the end of "mismatch") and at the bottom of the screen maybe "atch" Note - My screen does not automatically respond to the video signal correctly in this mode, and tends to crop the bottom line or two. I can play with the vertical positioning but its a pain.
