I have tried installing ubuntu v12.04 from disc and after installation i get an error message saying

'An error occured:

Permission Denied

for more information, please see the log file'

I have accessed the log file and uploaded it here (http://pastebin.com/j8A2bn84)

I want to be able to dual-boot ubuntu 12.04 with my current O/S which is windows XP.

Any help or possible fixes would be appreciated

Thanks in advance

What is the process in which you install linux to dual boot?

I do not know wubi.

But I see this message a few times. Is your computer 32bit? And did you try to install the 64bit version?


Distro: wrong arch: i386 != amd64

There also may be issues with wubi and even if computer is 64bit, if Windows is 32bit you really need to use 32bit Ubuntu.

How much RAM do you have? And what video card.

You can attach screenshots or text with the paperclip icon in the edit panel above the message. Or paste as code and use code tags. Highlight and click the # in the edit panel.

Did you want to install as wubi? Or a full partitioned install?
