unable to install ubuntu 12.04

Which version have you downloaded? Did you burn it to a cdrw or just a normal write once cd??? Does the live cd work -have you tested that?

Thanks

Hi Anton:
I burned two : ubuntu-12.04 desktop.i386.iso to a cd r.
they both work as a live cd.

Did you burned the iso with a SLOW/speed !

Did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded?

Did you burn the CD as slowly as possible?

I burned them at 4X.
the MD5 SUM chek is good.

Alright , thanks .

Then try with a kernel boot option from the live-CD

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions

start with the nomodeset .

# see http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132

Yes. I can run it from the live cds but it will not install from the live
cd or boot from the cd. On the web I see that many people have this
problem , but so far I have not seen any solution that I have seen that
works for me.

Salutation andrew :)

It should install from the live-CD if you set the boot option into the kernel boot line .

What error you get when you try to upgrade !

I'll give nomodeset a try tomorrow. This may be above my expertise . I'll
let you know if it works.

I tried nomodeset but could not advance after selecting nomodeset after
pressing F6.
Enter key just adds or removes the X to the left of nomodeset.
Some one ask what happens when I try to load 12.04 from the live cd. or
upgrade from 11.10. It starts to load but after two hours it seems to be
hung . The circle is still spinning ,but there is no cpu or modem activity.

Hi All:
I did a clean install of 11.10 and all its updates. Then Upgraded to 12.04.
It worked this time. Have no idea why the cds would not install 12.04. I
think 12.04 is working OK now. Thanks for all your inputs.
Call this problem solved.

Hey mac , good to know you're back on track .

It could be the optical/CD-ROM drive that was causing the troublesome! or the installer got interpreted if you where trying something in the live cd environment .. it occurred to me few times while i was using the partition tool Gparted.

Anyhow , i believe you're the one how can mark this Question as solved :) .

some links i'd advice you to have a look at :

www.ubuntu.com/community

www.ubuntu.com/support

www.video.ubuntu.com/live/

I installed ubuntu 11.10 from a cd,.
instlalled all its updates.
upgraded to 12.04
system seems to be OK now.
