General :: Lightweight Ubuntu Install Using Alternate Install CD?
Jan 19, 2011I am trying to do a 'light' install of Ubuntu 10.04 using the alternate install CD. Here is how i am planning to do it:
1. Perform a console only installation(Standard system only on d-i tasksel)
2. Install gnome-core
3. Then install the packages i need using apt.
1. Would such an installation lead have any significant performance(RAM usage) advantage over a full fledged installation?
2. Is there a way i could install gnome-core from the installation CD instead of downloading them from the repository?
3. Would installing just gnome-core mean that synaptic & update-manager wouldn't be available? i am hoping that it wouldn't be the case I checked their dependencies from packages.ubuntu.com, it doesn't look like they need gnome-desktop-environment to be installed first.
4. Would such an install have any more device driver related issues (eg.display drivers) than a regular install?

Jun 11, 2010I've upgraded to the new 10.04, and when I have the Alternate CD in, it shows on my desktop, and I can search all the contents of the CD, so I know it's registering. But when I try to install anything, via the terminal, .deb packages, synaptics package manager, it always asks me to insert the CD. Then I click ok and it says it's not mountable, even though I know it is because it's on my desktop.

Jun 16, 2011I'm running Debian wheezy on a Toshiba NB505 and I've noticed that the wireless connectivity can be painfully slow at times. I know it's not our home network because my desktop flies (running Windows).Currently, I have the driver from this guide installed. I went to Realtek's site to download the latest driver for this wireless card (RTL8188CE, the Linux/UNIX version) thinking maybe this more up-to-date driver would operate better than the one used in the guide above.Is there a possible way to install this driver, or should I just stick with the current driver I'm using from the guide above?

Ubuntu Installation :: Install Alternate Iso From USB Drive?
Jul 7, 2010I've tried the Universal USB Installer, but that doesn't support the alternate iso. And if I select the regular desktop one, it screws up the installation when I try to boot.
Unetbootin gives me this error during the cdrom process. It says it can't find copy files from cdrom and stuff. Well of course, there's no cdrom...
Ubuntu Installation :: Alternate Install Does'nt Recognize CD-ROM?
Oct 29, 2010i have a Compaq Presario S4020WM
2.0Ghz XP2400 CPU
768Mb RAM
2 40Gb Hdd
and a HD raedon 4650 AGB 1Gb Grafics Card
I have tried to install Ubuntu with this CD and it gets past the keyboard detection part and then it tells me i need to get the CD ROM drivers via removable media, i know this is a problem with ubuntu 10.04 because i can install just fine a 8.04 ubuntu.
i don't know what to do.I have tried to install from a USB but my comp is too old for that, i know its not the specific cd because i'v used about 5 different brands of cd just to see if it was the cds i was uesing,
I would just upgrade from 8.04 to 10.04 but i get to the dbus part and the comp starts to run really slowly and eventually colors just show up, i left it for an hour to see if they would go away and fix but they didn't. Iknow my comp CAN run 10.04 because i have done it before, but i uninstalled and now i can't seem to get it to work again.
P.S. i have tried the live cd, same effect.

View 1 Replies View RelatedUbuntu Installation :: Alternate Install (10.04 And 10.10 Alpha) LVM Boot?
Jun 19, 2010Today I decided to replace my 9.04 install with 10.04. (I did this on a separate hard disk.) As I am a big fan of LVM I used the 'Alternate' install CD. Everything installed fine.
However, upon booting I observed two things: firstly there was no grub menu. No countdown timer, no menu. Just a flickering cursor. After 15 seconds or so I got a message telling me that:
Code:
/dev/mapper/bromine-root (My root partition.) does not exist and that it had given up waiting. Finding this kind of strange I tried the alpha of 10.10 --- same again. Hence I have two questions: firstly, where did the nice grub menu go; secondly, what is wrong with LVM and grub these days? At the initframfs prompt I am thrown to there are some LVM utilities and they appear to show my volumes.
Switching back to my old pair of hard disks and everything works as expected (i.e, the hardware is fine and supported by Linux.)
Ubuntu / Apple :: Alternate Broadcom Wireless Install?
Aug 29, 2010If I boot Ubuntu from the live disc, the Broadcom installs and activates flawlessly. I installed Ubuntu (Lucid) to my hard drive and it seems to be reading the CD but then gets and error saying it couldn't find the driver. I only have wireless available to me so ethernet is not an option. Is there another way to download the needed the packages in OS X and then install them in Ubuntu?

May 16, 2011I downloaded the Xubuntu 10.04.2 Alternate Install CD ISO file from http://mirror.anl.gov/pub/ubuntu-iso...10.04/release/
When I checked the md5sum of the downloaded file, however, there was a mismatch.
The md5sum given at both http://mirror.anl.gov/pub/ubuntu-iso...elease/MD5SUMS as well as https:[url].... is 209cfc88be17ededb373b601e8defdee *xubuntu-10.04.2-alternate-i386.iso but running the command,
Code:
md5sum xubuntu-10.04.2-alternate-i386.iso generated the following, obviously different checksum for me:
098674ad5a59f0115030c5c0c3973899 xubuntu-10.04.2-alternate-i386.iso
(It also took unusually long to generate the checksum- around thirty minutes.)
Is it possible that the file was corrupted or tampered with on the server?

Ubuntu :: Alternate 10.04 64bit Install Hangs At 75% And Asks For CD?
Jul 2, 2010Had problems with hard drives yesterday, wouldn't recognise them after I'd installed Linux. Today I fixed that problem (another thread on here, in the hardware section) but now, every single time the install gets to 75%, it asks me to insert the CDROM and basically hangs.
Hitting enter doesn't try to fire up the CDROM, there's zero noise from it. It did this once yesterday but all other tries worked fine. Today it's failed the 7 different times I've tried, in exactly the same place, each time asking for the CD, even tried re-burning the CD, still failing at the same place. It's just after doing something to APT, then storing something (not very helpful I know). Can get a command prompt by CTRL-ALT_F2, but have no clue as to how to proceed when I get there.

View 2 Replies View RelatedUbuntu Installation :: Alternate 64bit Iso Install Raid Failure
Aug 27, 2010UPDATE: decided to reinstall and run the partitioner to get rid of the raid. Not worth dealing with this since seems to be lower level as /dev/mapper was not listing any devices. Error 15 at grub points to legacy grub. So avoiding the problem by getting rid of raid for now. So ignore this post. Found a nice grub2 explanation on the wiki but didn't help this situation since probably isn't a grub problem. Probably is a installer failure to map devices properly when it only used what was already available and didn't create them during the install. I don't know, just guessing. Had OpenSuSE 10.3 64bit installed with software raid mirrored swap, boot, root. Used the alternate 64bit Ubuntu iso for installation. Since partitioning was already correctly setup and the raid devices /dev/md0,1,2 were recognized by the installer, I chose to format the partitions with ext3 and accept the configuration:
/dev/md0 = swap = /dev/sda1, /dev/sdb1 = 2Gb
/dev/md1 = boot = /dev/sda2, /dev/sdb2 = 256Mb
/dev/md2 = root = /dev/sda3, /dev/sda3 = 20Gb
Installation process failed at the point of installing grub. It had attempted to install the bootloader on /dev/sda2 and /dev/sdb2. I moved on since it would not let me fiddle with the settings and I got the machine rebooted with the rescue option on the iso used for installing. Now, I can see the root partition is populated with files as expected. dpkg will list that linux-image-generic, headers, and linux-generic are installed with other supporting kernel packages. grub-pc is installed as well. However, the /boot partition or /dev/md1 was empty initially after the reboot. What is the procedure to get grub to install the bootloader on /dev/sda2 and /dev/sdb2, which represent /dev/md1 or /boot?
Running apt-get update and apt-get upgrade installed a newer kernel and this populated the /boot partition. Running update-grub results in a "/usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: no mapping exists for 'md2'". grub-install /dev/md2 or grub-install /dev/sda2 gives the same error as well. Both commands indicate that "Autodetection of a filesystem module failed, Please specify the module with the option '--modules' explicitly". What is the right modules that need to be loaded for a raid partition in initrd? Should I be telling grub to use the a raid module?
Ubuntu :: Install Remix On Regular Laptop

Does anyone know if it is possible to install this release on a standard laptop? Are there links somewhere that I could follow?

Aug 15, 2010I made a usb install drive on a mac by following the instructions on the ubuntu download page, but had problems getting the GRUB loader to run the USB at boot on the DreamLinux PC i wanted to install it on, so I have now sorted access to a CD writer to make a liveCD.
However I need to convert the USB FDD back to just a regular FDD for my mother to use. I am not at all familiar with Macs, or the terminal utilities (though I am able to use the terminal to some degree) so would appreciate help with this procedure or a pointer to some steps to do it.
Currently the drive is named Ubuntu 10.04 LTS when it mounts on mac, before the img write it was just untitled, I cannot delete the ubuntu files from it or write new ones, and I don't know how to do a reformat on a mac.
I need he drive to be able to work again with windows and mac... so will need to reformat to FAT32 I guess?

Ubuntu Installation :: No Video Output After Natty Clean Install With AMD-64 Alternate
Apr 28, 2011I have a Gigabyte 6A-M61P-S3 with an nVidia chipset, and I'm using the built-in graphics rather than a discrete graphics card. Ubuntu 10.10 and previous releases ran flawlessly on it using the nouveau drivers. I tried doing an upgrade to 11.04 using the Alternate AMD-64 CD, and it seemed to complete successfully, but when it came time to reboot, I had no video output at all after the BIOS screen. This is a test machine, so I went ahead and did a clean install using encrypted LVM with the Alternate AMD-64 CD after confirming that 64-bit 11.04 ran fine using the Live CD.
The installation went fine, but the first reboot flashed a brief "error: no video mode activated" and then I lost all video output. Subsequent reboots didn't give me any error message, but I had no video output. I suspect there are some boot parameters that would have gotten the nouveau driver working, but I wanted to try Unity, so I rebooted to get the Grub menu, chose Recover Mode, selected failsafe graphics, and got to the Desktop, then installed the proprietary nVidia driver (current) and once I rebooted everything was golden.
