Question

how to install ubuntu?

Answer 1

Looks like installation disk corruption to me. It seems that the burn speed of CD/DVD writer would affect the quality of the installation image file. Try burn the disk at lower speed.



If your computer supports booting from USB flash drive, I suggest you use UNetbootin from http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ , this program can convert your USB flash drive into a boot-able media using the Linux/BSD installation image file you have selected. Tried that with Ubuntu (10.04, 11.04 and 11.10), Knoppix, FreeBSD, BackTrack 5 and I had no problem.

Answer 2

Probably got a minor file corruption, just re-download(or re-burn) all versions can be run as a live disk or can installed to a hdd. What did you burn the disk with, try imgburn it is by far the best burner ive ever used and is free use the verify option. If you are dual booting just create a partition but be careful to install it to the correct allocated space, it creates 3 partitions for the install and remember grub will take over the boot given you a link for an excellent free partition tool

then install and enjoy....

Answer 4

I sure hope that you are not trying to install Ubuntu as a program inside Windows...

just boot from your Ubuntu CD/DVD and install from that.



Not enough details. Do you wish to install in dual boot with Windows or just Ubuntu as your only OS?



Partition scheme for Ubuntu install as a single, only OS:

Partition 1: Primary, swap, 1GB or 2GB the most

Partition 2: Primary, ext4, mount as "/" (root), 20GB to 25GB for your Ubuntu system files

Partition 3: Primary, ext 4, the remainder of your drive, mount as "/home" for all your personal files (music, pictures, video, movies, documents, etc) and your personal settings



If dual boot with Windows it's more complicated, email me.

Answer 8

I had a problem with version 10.04. Download version 11.10, it seems to be OK.

Answer 9

Depending upon the age of your computer, you may have a processor that does not support the latest versions of Ubuntu.



Try downloading Ubuntu 10.04 LTS and burning it onto a CD. Make sure you burn it as an ISO image, and not simply as a file or it will not boot.



After 10.04 LTS, Ubuntu changed the kernel, and the later kernel will not run on older processors. Ubuntu also has problems booting on some machines, and requires command line options to be used in the boot process to get it to work. Unfortunately, I do not have a list of those options available, but the boot help when you boot from the CD may give you some clues as to what you might need.



Ubuntu 10.04 LTS is still available from the www.ubuntu.com.



If your computer will boot and run from the CD (without installing it), this will give you an indication that all is well. While it is running from the CD, it will provide an option on the desktop to install it onto the hard disk.



There is also a version on the web site that installs as a Windows application. Generally, this can run a bit slower than a full native install, and it may not offer all the features of the native version. You will have to try it to find out. I have not tried this yet.



Good Luck.



EDIT: I have now tried the installation as a Windows application. It looks like it only allows the installation of the latest version (currently 11.10), but it did install and run successfully on a laptop that had previously had problems installing the most recent versions. Unlike native installations, it did not need to have a CD burned from an image file, and did not require its own separate file systems on the hard disk. Instead, it used up about 5 GB of disk space on a Windows partition (I chose which partition it would use). Also, unlike the previous Ubuntu installations I have tried, it did not set up its own boot menu system, but added the Ubuntu option to the normal Windows boot menu. (If you have the timeout in your C:\boot.ini file set to 0, you will probably want to change this to a higher figure - I use 3. With a timeout of 0, it will boot into your default operating system without giving you time to choose a different one.)
