Thanks for getting back to me. I would be happy to do this if it might help. I am not sure how the instructions apply to my case, though. I created the USB key with unetbootin. Do you know where it would have stored the downloaded image on a Windows XP machine?
Assuming you can tell me that, can I safely copy the file elsewhere to check the sum rather than trying to do it in Windows or would I need to do it in place for any reason? Please note that I will probably need quite detailed instructions to locate the file in Windows. Provided I can then copy it elsewhere to check, it is no problem. I just know absolutely nothing about how Windows works or where it might have put things. [The only reason I used Windows was because I couldn't find another way to create a live USB key for Ubuntu.] Please also note that I currently have no intention of running the installer on the same machine again as it would re-erase the EFI partition. Also, if there as insufficient room on the Windows box for the downloaded image, I may have stored it on a second USB key. In that case, I no longer have the image which might have been corrupt. I would also point out that if the download page had given any kind of pointer to the existence of checksums, I would have used these in the first place. I explicitly looked for these and could not find anything. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/899481 Title: installer crashes; bug report cannot be sent To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/899481/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
