[Ubuntu-PH] help with edubuntu installantion

[Re Álvarez]

*    I suggest you check the forum for your specific situation.

*    Did you do disc integrity check and checked if there are possible problems with the disk?

*    Also, if you really wanna try and nothing seems to work..all installation seem to hang....so try burning the disk at 1x speed.

*    And do you have any specific reason for not trying out the latest release 7.10 of Ubuntu? Or even for that matter 7.04?

Ryan,



Formatting doesnt take longer than 10 mins max on SATA drive. But if you repartition, adjust partition size it can be upto 1 hour depending on disk size, I/O buffer and other factors.



I'd suggest you have a break....goto out have a coffee...!!

Ok, so now the download of Ubuntu 6.06 is
finished, and I already made the bootable CD. All running well, until on the
partitioning part. 
 

I have 200GB SATA hard drive and I chose
to manually partition the disks. So I made three partitions :
 

  
 

Partition 1 : 50 GB
 

Partition 2 : 50 GB
 

Partition 3 : 80 GB
 

.. and another for the swap partition
 

  
 

I clicked on forward and then it applies
the changes I made (maybe reformatting the partitions too).  This is what is
see on the screen now:
 

  
 

“Apply Pending Operations
 

Resize /dev/sda1 from 190144 MB to 50198
MB
 

Completed Operations : 0 of 3 operations
completed.”
 

  
 

It seems the installer hangs here and the
progress bar is not moving anymore! What could be the problem? 
 

  
 

Does the formatting of partitioned disks
should take very long ? (It is almost 1 hour and the message above is still displayed)
 

  
 

Should I use external partitioning
software, like partition magic so that it can take over the partitioning and
formatting stuff ? 
 

  
 

  
 

  
 

Thanks !

Hi Ryan,
 

First of all, you can try to start the GUI
with teh command "sudo startx" but I'm worried that it doesn't work.
 

In my opinion  you should try to burn
your cd  again and try to execute the installation, 
 

because maybe you have one corrupted 
 

package on your cd.
 

 
 

Hope this helps!
 

regards, Sauro

Hi! 
 

  
 

I tried to install Edubuntu on my PC, everything works fine
until on “install and select
 ” it hangs and stays on 6% and
after some time it gives error that a package cannot be installed and that I
can continue the installation sometime. After continuing and installing GRUB, i
did a reboot and then I was able to log in to edubuntu but only in shell.. How
do I run the GUI from there? 
 

  
 

Thanks!
