Please see my post about Brasero possibly giving invalid integrity check errors when burning a Hardy ISO. And I always do specify that the source is an ISO, I never "let Brasero choose". I think these observed problems are related, don't you? Sorry I can't give you the specific link; I'm just new at this and having trouble learning how to reply to a thread, or link to one of my own posts. Anyway, what I reported is consistent with several responses like "works for me": Yes, the burnt CD works, but Brasero _says_ it's no good.

You can even download the software from the web site. The web site is, in my opinion confusing. A person who is now using Windows goes to the Ubuntu site and the first thing he has to do is decide if he wants a Desktop or Server version, whatever those are! Later he is given the choice to get Kubntu whatever THAT IS! My suggestion is to make the first page nothing but a Desktop version that will replace the Windows with time. It is one d/l of a LiveCD that will run if your computer has Windows XP on it. Then the next pages introduce the special versions for a special purpose. There have been several complainers on this list that d/l the server and never got a Desktop :-) Also I think the penalty for using a Desktop as a server is VERY small and has advantages. The explanation will be simple and anyone can do it. Karl -- Karl F. Larsen, AKA K5DI Linux User #450462 <a href="http://counter.li.org" target="_blank">http://counter.li.org</a>.

However I did not let Brasero select the type for me, and instead I selected 'iso' at the 'Image Type'. Maybe you and the folks in the bug report left the 'Image Type' at "Let brasero choose (safest)" rather than selecting ISO? If so, then maybe that's the problem? Don't know as I don't burn CD's that often & most of the time I use k3b or just right click on the iso from Nautilus and tell it to burn directly. ------------------------------ Message: 3 Date: Mon, 12 May 2008 16:13:40 -0700 From: NoOp <<a href="mailto:glgxg@sbcglobal.net">glgxg@sbcglobal.net</a>> Subject: Re: Install Alien To: <a href="mailto:ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com">ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com</a> Message-ID: <g0aiv4$n13$<a href="mailto:1@ger.gmane.org">1@ger.gmane.org</a>> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 On 05/11/2008 08:12 PM, Gunawan wrote: > Hi there, > I have search on alternate cd dan found alien*.deb and many other file that > maybe require when installing alien. > I would like to know why I can not use apt-get install alien to install it > from alternate cd? > And so with mono, I would like to install mono and alternate cd provide many > binary of mono. > > I knew that to get source online is better but my issue is some ubuntu boxes > are offline. <a href="https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/" target="_blank">https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/</a> <a href="https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/add-applications/C/index.html" target="_blank">https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/add-applications/C/index.html</a> <a href="https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoftwareManagement" target="_blank">https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoftwareManagement</a> <a href="https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptCdrom" target="_blank">https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptCdrom</a> <a href="https://help.ubuntu.com/community/" target="_blank">https://help.ubuntu.com/community/</a> [search box, upper right hand of your screen] ------------------------------ Message: 4 Date: Mon, 12 May 2008 19:37:31 -0400 From: elmo <<a href="mailto:elmo@ne.rr.com">elmo@ne.rr.com</a>> Subject: Re: How to modify menu.lst To: "Ubuntu user technical support, not for general discussions" <<a href="mailto:ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com">ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com</a>> Message-ID: <<a href="mailto:4828D4BB.1010601@ne.rr.com">4828D4BB.1010601@ne.rr.com</a>> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Derek Broughton wrote: > SYNass IT Ubuntu / Linux wrote: > > >> Hello Ubuntu experts >> I would appreciate to get some assistance in modificating the attached >> menu.lst ! ;-) >> >> At system boot it currently shows the 3 Ubuntu entries >> (normal/recovery/memtest86+) = OK ! >> It also shows the WinXPP entry ! >> >> I would like to hear / learn how to get the WinXPP entry invisible in >> the list but >> available with scrolling down to get it visible !? >> >> What do I need to change ? >> > > Add a lot of blank lines?

Notice that most of the lines in menu.lst start with # and the effective systems lines do not start with #. You can prevent any line from appearing on the bootup menu or performing its function by preceding it with a #. If you want things to appear in a certain order on the bootup menu, you can use an editor to move items around in /boot/grub/menu.lst For example, I wanted Windows XP to be at the top of the bootup menu so I moved its entire entry of XP to be the first entry. (Actually, I copied it in a space before the first UBUNTU entry, then I went to the original location of XP and preceded each line with a # instead of deleting the entire original XP. [ After you made your changes, perform a save. Normally, the save would not be accepted but the ' chmod go+rw /boot/grub/<a href="http://menu.ls" target="_blank">menu.ls</a> ' you did earlier will allow you to do the save, now and in the future.

This is rather bad advice to recommend making any system files world writeable. Permissions on system files do not generally need to be modified, instead one should use sudo before the editing command to gain root privileges, e.g.: sudo nano /boot/grub/menu.lst or preferably: sudoedit /boot/grub/menu.lst If a gui editor is desired then use gksudo, eg.: gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst -- James Taji Design Engineer, JLD Systems, Ltd. <a href="http://www.jldsystems.com" target="_blank">http://www.jldsystems.com</a> -- 888.553.7978 -- 717.892.1100 "We do the stuff behind the buttons!" ------------------------------ Message: 6 Date: Mon, 12 May 2008 16:54:19 -0700 From: NoOp <<a href="mailto:glgxg@sbcglobal.net">glgxg@sbcglobal.net</a>> Subject: Re: Ubuntu web page and things To: <a href="mailto:ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com">ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com</a> Message-ID: <g0albc$t14$<a href="mailto:1@ger.gmane.org">1@ger.gmane.org</a>> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 On 05/12/2008 03:50 PM, Karl Larsen wrote: > I think the magic of Ubuntu is that it loads as easy as Windows XT > and Vista and provides a computer which is superior to both Windows > versions.
