Hi all!
I've decided to switch to newer version of Kubuntu because of some serius problems with my 9.04.
I've downloaded the 9.10 image from kubuntu site, checked the md5 sum before burning it, and then I've verified the burn (all done in K3b, and ofcourse the checksum and verification was ok). Then, before the installation I tried to test the integrity of my CD, just to be sure from the menu after booting the CD.
This is the point where I've encountered the first problem. When the integrity check starts, my laptop reboots every time. It's very wierd I think. But ignoring this issue (checksum and verification was ok, so...) I tried to install it anyway.
I've chosen partitions at my own (/boot, /, swap and /home, the same as I did in the previous 9.04 install, not formatting the /home and formatting the rest). I've typed all the data needed (name, pass, etc) and confirmed that everything is ok. The installer tried to format partitions chosen earlier, but a wierd error ocurred: that my /cdrom is still mounted and the installer is unable to unmount it, so the installer is unable to create a partition table or something similar. I pressed a button that supposed to make him recheck that issue, but instead it took me to the point where I have to choose partitions for my install.
And another issue here: the installer works so slow! I've checked 'top' on tty1 and as it came up a process called ubiquity is taking about 65-70% and Xorg the rest of my CPU time. EVEN if I just leave the installer without making it to do anything. Wierd. So choosing the partitions to install is very annoying as it takes much longer then it supposed to. I tried again and again (with my cdrom lid open) but the installer still is unable to unmount the /cdrom and still takes me back to partition choosing.
Why is it happening? I have to reinstall my system as quick as possible, and really don't know whats happening.
Thank you all for any advice.
PS. tried to use liveusb to install it from my pendrive, but it was taking very long time to put every file on it (about 10-15minutes! and its only 700mb of data!), and also it didn't boot properly (i've booted many distros from it already so it formated as it should be).
cheers,
kajman
