Hi,

it looks as if it occurs only on one of my seven Ubuntu Linux machines.
So maybe this is more a incident?
Maybe we wait for others to occur, otherwise i am fine if this bug is closed.

Thanks,
Karel

Hi,

I think I have the same problem Karelz.
I'm trying to install Ubuntu 14.04.1 (by a self burned ISO DVD) on a "old"desktop PC (32 bit MSI K7).
I got the error message at my first try maybe the second (hope so)or third attempt will fix it.

Greetz,

Erik.
