[Ubuntu-PH] help with edubuntu installantion

Fri Oct 26 11:11:17 UTC 2007

I am not CD expert so I cannot really comment,..but it has been
sometimes that with some CD writers writing at higher speed can create
sector problems...that even integrity check fails to see...again i've
learnt this just by reading here and there...no personal
experience/knowledge.

And, if you live near Makati and can make a quick trip to makati...I can
give you Ubuntu 7.10 CD....

And anybody else who needs any Ubuntu Version CD and cannot download or
doesnt want to order...I can burn your favorite edition (ubuntu,
kubuntu, xubuntu, edubuntu) CD for free...all you have to do is pick it
up from me in Makati.

Maybe the SATA drive is problematic., I’ll use a regular IDE Hard Disk…
I’ll try if it’s the same then I try again.. J

To answer your questions :

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

Does burning the ISO at lower speed has an effect on the data on the CD
Installer ? How ? 

      *  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?

My only reason is that I only have Ubuntu 6.06 CD J I’ll sure try the
latest release if I have the CD here. 

Thanks.. !

*    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!
