Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: ubiquity
Today I grabbed the latest netbook edition live CD, burned the CD to
media, and booted the CD. When prompted by the installer as to whether
I would like to try Ubuntu or install it, I selected the option to try
Ubuntu Netbook out. The installer sounded like it was reading from the
CD for a moment, and then it stopped. The "busy" pinwheel mouse cursor
was present and did not disappear after 10 minutes of waiting. The
installer screen that presents you the try/install options did not
disappear. The live desktop (obviously) never loaded. I was, however,
able to use the menu in the upper right corner of the screen to restart.
I tried booting from the CD twice, with the same results.
I verified the CD's (data) integrity before booting from it. I am
trying this out on an HP Compaq 8510w laptop with nVidia Quadro graphics
and 4 GB of RAM. Yes, not a Netbook, but previous Netbook editions have
booted before.
1) Ubuntu Release:
Ubuntu Netbook Edition 10.10, Daily Build 9/18/2010
2) Package version:
Unsure, whichever is included in that day's Daily Build
3) What I expected:
I expected to see the live desktop after clicking the try Ubuntu option and
waiting a few moments.
4) What happened instead:
The live desktop never loaded. I was stuck on the installer screen. Was able
to use the power menu to restart (in other words, the menu was responsive, so
the PC didn't "freeze" per say).
