Bug Description
I'm trying to upgrade to Ubuntu 10.4 lucid from a torrent; I found directions
at https:/
Getting the torrent was no trouble; it took about 20 minutes to get
both the desktop and the alternate image (I didn't realize I needed
the alternate image until I had started getting the desktop image).
$ md5sum *i386*
5b2dadacfd692b4
d044a2a0c8103fc
Then I mounted the image a la:
$ sudo mount -o loop /home/connolly/
and then I started the installer:
$ gksu "sh /cdrom/
At the "Include latest updates from the Internet?" dialog, I answered "No".
It says quite clearly: "If you answer 'no' here, the network is not used at all."
but then I get a "Do you want to start the upgrade?" dialog that
says "You have to download a total of 1,209M."
I thought perhaps "download" was a misnomer and that it would
get the packages locally, but
(a) the network went *very* busy (estimating hours to days to complete), so I cancelled it;
(b) I took the network down with "sudo ifdown eth0" and tried again,
and it failed altogether
Then I thought perhaps the problem was related to using a mounted .iso image
rather than a physical CD, so I burned the image to CD and tried again.
Same symptoms (with the alternate and then the desktop CD).
I have logs of all of these attempts; I think the one with eth0 down is likely
to have the most information; let's see if I can figure out how to attach it...
Ugh... I don't see any way to attach files.
So I put it in http://
Hmm... package "linux" got attached to this question somewhow; I doubt
that's the relevant package, but I'm not sure which is... perhaps update-
I gather that unlike Answers, bugs can have files attached, so here's that log file again...
