Hello,

I'm trying to install lubuntu 11.10 from live cd and I cannot.
Installation hangs saying something like:

gzip failed, perhaps the disk is full

and it seems not going on.
What to do?

Thank you

It was due to the cd I used to install.

I burned lubuntu iso on a cd-rw using a pc,
and then used this cd to install lubuntu on a different older pc.

Maybe the cd drive couldn't read it well,
so I tried to burn it again at the minimum speed
and it worked.

Thanks

Hi,

Glad you managed to fix it :)
However, please make sure to check MD5SUM whenever you download any iso for any distribution, not only Lubuntu.

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes

That would save a lot from your time :)
Also, burning at low speed (8x for example) is recommended.

Thank you for choosing and using Lubuntu :)

Hello,

many thanks for your advices! :)
Only one small thing about this site:
I've noticed reading your bottom signature
you ask to use the [lubuntu] prefix while starting a new thread.

I always try to pay attention to that but this time I failed.
Is there any chance to add a prefix once the thread is started?

Thanks

Hi :)

Any time and it's my pleasure :)

Don't worry about that now as long as your thread is marked as SOLVED :)
It's important for me and anyone who is looking for unsolved Lubuntu thread. If you use [lubuntu] prefix in your new thread, it will be easier to find it when someone searches for it.
And I'm afraid only Forum Moderator can change that. I tried that on one of my threads and it didn't work, we don't have access to change it once created :)
