OK so the md5sum on ubuntuhashes (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes) for the alternate amd 64 is a54366aa72d6b576ee8fc0215f8a13b9. As mentioned above the ISO that I have downloaded matches this. So the ISO is fine. Then I burned the ISO to a CD, this CD has failed the integrity check supplied on the CD repeatedly (5times) when done on my laptop, while passing the integrity check on my dads computer 3 times. Next I have made an image of the burned CD. The md5sum of this image matches the md5sum of the original ISO and the md5sum from ubunuhashes. I also made a second image of of the burned ISO and the md5sum of this also matches the others. So let me summarize what I think I have.
The ISO i got off the web is good. The burned CD I have is good, yet it fails The integrity test in my laptop, while passing The integrity check in my dads computer. This would make me think that I have a hardware problem, except that the two images made from the burned CD made on the laptop are exactly the same as the original ISO according to md5sum, I would think that if my CD-ROM drive had a hardware issue it would not be able to make an image of the original burned ISO perfectly, twice, while failing the integrity check every time or write the original ISO to a CD correctly in the first place. Assuming that my test proves I don't have a hardware issue, I am left with the conclusion that the integrity test supplied on the CD is broken throwing false positives. I can't explain why it only seems to do so on my laptop. Bottom line. I have a CD that as far as I can tell is perfectly fine. Hardware that as far as i can tell is perfectly fine. And I am unable to install Ubuntu. Not only will the integrity check fail, But if i try to install anyway, the install fails. -- CD integrity check passes on one system fails on another https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/576205 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
