Please check the MD5 sum on the .iso image that you used to create the Lubuntu Oneiric live CD (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM). The MD5 sums for Lubuntu Oneiric .iso images are at http://cdimages.ubuntu.com/lubuntu/releases/11.10/release/MD5SUMS (make sure to compare to the one that corresponds to the .iso image you are testing). Please also verify that the CD was correctly written and is fully readable in the machine(s) on which you were attempting to test/install Lubuntu. To do this, press Spacebar when the person and keyboard icons appear the bottom center of the screen, then select your language and "Check disc for defects". Make sure to do this on one of the machines on which the problem occurred, as this will also report failure for some hardware problems and physical media incompatibilities.
If the MD5 sum does not check out, redownload the image, make sure you get a correct MD5 sum this time, then burn a new CD and see if the problem persists. If the MD5 sum checks out but verifying the CD as described above does not, then re-burn the CD (burn it at the slowest possible speed). If you are still unable to burn a CD that checks out from an .iso image whose MD5 sum does check out, or if you have trouble following any of the above instructions, please post a question to get assistance (https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+addquestion), post a link to the question here, and link the question to this bug using "Link existing bug" on the question page. (You can also feel free to subscribe me to the question.) If after correcting a bad .iso or bad burn this problem goes away, then that means there is no bug, so in that case, please change this bug's status to Invalid. If everything checks out and this bug still occurs, then please check and see if the terminal you have when you boot from the CD is usable (try typing commands on it). If it is usable, then connect the machine to the Internet with an Ethernet cable (if both your machines use wireless, then you could share the other machine's network connection with this machine via an Ethernet cable--if you don't know how to do this, please post a new question about that using https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-nettool and link it as described in the previous paragraph). Install openssh-server on it by running the command "sudo apt-get install openssh-server" (without the quotes). Set a password with "passwd" (*not* "sudo passwd"). Discover its ipv4 address with "ifconfig". Then SSH into it from the other machine by running the command "ssh -c blowfish -X ubuntu@IP" where IP is replaced by the ipv4 address of the machine running the live CD. Now, you can run graphical programs on the live CD system, by entering the commands to launch them in the SSH session. Their windows will appear on the machine on which you are physically working (the installed Ubuntu 10.04 LTS system from which you are SSHing). You can open a web browser (run "chromium-browser") and attach the files /var/log/Xorg.0.log and /home/ubuntu/.xsession-errors to this bug report (attach them at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lubuntu- meta/+bug/878210, not by email). Please do that. If you have trouble with this, you can go ahead and post a comment in this bug asking for help. Then please feel free to change this bug's status back from Incomplete to New. It is likely that even more information may be needed before this bug is ready for a developer to work on it, but if so, the status can always be changed back and requests for the needed information posted. ** Changed in: lubuntu-meta (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/878210 Title: LUbuntu 11.10 liveCD boots to console To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lubuntu-meta/+bug/878210/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
