Trying to do a fresh install of 9.04 on my second pc, I ran into a strange issue. The live cd loaded fine, and the minor stuff I did worked ok. But when I started to install, the process aborted while copying files from the cd, about 26% into it. A second attempt failed as well.
As I wanted to use this machine for testing multiple mixes, I proceeded to install xubuntu 9.04 and it went flawlessly.
I then tested the integrity of the ubuntu cd and it reported failure in 1 file. Puzzled, I checked the md5 hash and it matched perfectly with the hash at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes, so I doubt it was a faulty download.
I wondered about the write to cd being faulty and burned a second cd, using CD-R, and 4x speed. The cd showed the same problem, with one faulty file at the integrity test, and no install possible. I could blame the burner, but it the same one that burned the xubuntu cd, AFTER the ubuntu one, and other uses have shown no problems.
I am downloading the iso again, just in case, and will report results. But is it possible that an iso file contained a faulty file upon an update to the ubuntu servers?
