(Get the code!)
Test case type: Ubuntu Feisty X86, Desktop CD. Installation from the LiveCD.
Image ID: http://
Dowloaded and burned: feisty-
Date of testing: 11.jan.2007
Md5sum confirmed: Yes, confirmed twice: Checked MDSUM on the command line before burning the CD and checked it also in the LiveCD's start screen. Md5sum was Ok.
Pass/Fail: 2 bad install failures.
-------
Error 1) The display got badly scrambled during installation from LiveCD.
Launched the LiveCD and started installation from "Install" icon on the deskop.
Moved on and
Selected keyboard layout "Norwegian".
Then clicked the "Forward>" button.
The entire screen got badly scrambled with white and brown lines. The screen was completly unreadable.
I discovered that if I pressed CNTR + ALT + F1 (text console mode) and back to the graphical GUI with ALT + F7 then the display was updated and it was then perfectly OK. And I could continue to the next step of installation.
The LiveCD had set the screen resolution to: 1024x768 (60Hz). That's Ok.
Note: This very same error happened in Feisty Test 1 CD (some months ago).
-------
Error 2) The partitioner crashed at startup.
I continued the installation and "Starting up the partitioer" dialog apperated.
See picture 2a: http://
It seemd to work a minute or two and then it showed an error message.
See picture 2b: http://
And then it replied: (see picture 2c): http://
I have earlier installed several Ubuntu 6.06 / 6.10 and other Linux-distributions on my /dev/sda and /dev/sdb drives. Those has always worked flawlessley.
Here is my partitions table: http://
What is the best way to debug the Error 1)
Am very able to hack the Linux and install machinery. Just give me a starting point !
