11.10 install from USB this time. Crash installing language packs

[Mr Stuffy]

Still trying to install Ubuntu alongside W7 on my Toshiba laptop.

Having failed with the CD (see previous submissions) I downloaded 11.10 again and this time tried from USB. Failed again installing language packs.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Reviewing your log files attached to this bug report it seems that there is a problem with the disk to which you are trying to install Ubuntu. I'd recommend performing a back up of your existing operating system and then investigating the situation. Measures you might take include checking cable connections for your disks and using software tools to investigate the health of your hardware. In the event that is is not in fact an error with your hardware please set the bug's status back to New. Thanks and good luck!

Hi,
I'm putting this in all instances where I find something abojut the "Installing languages" crash.

I had the same, time after time, until ......

- Start from CD/DVD/USB installing device
- Disconnect from your internet connection
- Switching off all automatic updating during install > do this after it's properly installed (automatically)
- Not installing the Fluendo extra drivers > do this after the install: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
- Start install
- Restart computer
- do abovementioned updates (momentarily some 380 Mb) and Fluendo install.

Good luck and enjoy Oneiric,
Hans

PS Internet DISCONNECTION is the most important step here to be able to install
