I just downloaded ubuntu 11.10 and I would like to confirm that the file stored on my usb stick is a good copy but I can't find the relevant md5 hashes. I think I looked in all the obvious places but maybe I missed something. Suggestions please.

In any completed construction project, at least 50% of the cost and effort goes to building the box to put it in.
Easiest way is to click download then alternative dvd downloads. Choose a web site and then parent directory form that directory and then cd for the distro you downloaded. md5's should be listed.

I checked two of the dvd download sites and they had an md5sum file but I couldn't see the sum I wanted, just the sums for the downloads they were offering.

Your link to the release page is probably the easiest way to find it. The only other path I know at this time is to
1. search these forums for "md5"
2. select the link which says "howtomd5sum"
3. Follow the link on that page to the releases page
4. select the appropriate release
This is also the only path I have found to the alternate install cd. I can't remember exactly, but I think I had the same problems with 11.04. For 12.04 I will consult this thread.
Thanks again for your help.

Just as a reference to others,
Always remember...Google is your friend! This link will lead you to several sites with this information.
For 12.04, the link would be at
http://releases.ubuntu.com/12.04/
Just substitute the 12.04 with the one you want.
Or substitute with 1st name of the release
http://releases.ubuntu.com/precise/
Logically atm both pages don't exist since 11.10 just came out.

But Lisiano found it in post #3 above.

There is, but I'm lazy and just check here:

Tomorrow's an illusion and yesterday's a dream, today is a solution...
I want to thank Lisiano for finding and posting what 40 minutes of my scouring Ubuntu's site with searches did NOT provide. I also had a tough time finding it in here as I was searching "checksum" and getting garbage... I searched "MD5" and found this post.
I have checked the MD5 both on the download and the CD I made for 11.1 server 32bit, comes out a perfect match. BUT the CD will NOT autorun on any PC. The CD I made for the desktop version autoruns just fine I will say though that the desktop 11.1 I installed seems to be buggy, hangs a lil with graphical errors at boot then seems to calm down and even out. It also seems NOTICEABLY slower than 10.4 which I am assuming is the new interface that I hate. I didn't want a MAC clone...
So I guess I am adding a few questions:
1. Anyone else having auto run issues on the server install for 11.1?
2. Anyone else having speed issues on 11.1 desktop 64 bit
3. Any comments on why I should NOT go back to 10.4 (which I will most likely do tonight for both the server and the desktop)
Last comment, the reason I upgraded my server was this last update (not upgrade) for 10.4 made the server get stuck in bootup with no discernable way to get the server running enough to diagnose. I believe it was hanging on MYSQL (I have had many problems with MYSQL).
Just a thought -- you might check out Lubuntu before you go back to 10.04. I think that a lot of people are switching after fighting Unity. I don't know about a server edition though.
Break it, fix it, learn something.
