iso to disk, in 16.04 lts

[oneleded]

i got iso. 18.04lts just cant seem to get it to disk. transmission worked somehow, but know i cant configure, start up disk creator? the iso is on the destop, plus still on transmission. its also in the home directory. my blank disk is dvd+r memorex. probably could find better recording disk. i dont think, this is the problem.

The tool k3b works well for me to burn an iso file to a DVD disk. (Select the slowest possible burn speed.)

when i fist tried it, i was using start up disk creator. this was from accessories. i had skipped right over sound and video. turns out, if you right click on the iso., mine was on the desktop, it gives you the option of Xfburn, it was easy after that. i tried to run it before i did the checksum. the screen loaded to where i could check, try lubuntu without installing it. it started loading, than nothing happened. after a few minutes or so, i turned the PC off, and got the disk out. i did select the slowest burn speed i could, still?

Did you check that the downloaded iso file is good? You can use md5sum for that purpose.

i have a dell PC, optiplex 270. 2Gb memory, can add 2GB more memory. pentium 4. i think the processor is 2995Ghz, but will have to get back to you on that. Lubuntu is on 2nd HD 250GB.
i dont have graphics card, or, wifi card.
i made some mistakes on setting up the 2HD, and see now, i have to change the drive set up.
i havent figured out, out to capture that part of the screen, and put in in my post yet. it works, but is not done right. I'll get back with that as well...

This is an old computer with a CPU and the built-in graphics is not powerful enough to play well with standard Ubuntu. But the Ubuntu community flavour Lubuntu has a light desktop environment and works better with old hardware.

I have a computer with somewhat similar specs, a Dell Dimension 4600 from 2004. It runs reasonably well with Lubuntu 16.04.1 LTS which will stay with the Xenial kernel series (linux 4.4 series). You can find, download and check the iso file lubuntu-16.04.1-desktop-i386.iso, the 32-bit desktop version of the first point release, via the following link

i upgraded to 400 Mhz, DDR SDRAM.. Processor, x86 Family 15 model 2stepping 9 GenuineIntel~ 2992 Mhz.. some of the other info i've seen somewhere, maybe in the bios. im running XP pro. on 1st HD..
2HD is Lubuntu 16.04. i had problems, with iso., 16.04 download, it would not burn correct to disk.. iso.14.04, iso.17.04 downloaded well, when i put them on disks.
i upgraded 14.04 to 17.04 with the disk iso. then i updated 17.04 to latest LTS version, which was 16.04 LTS.. Somehow i got pieces of 14.04 and some 64bit file?, injected into 16.04...
I want to install 18.04, with this system if possible.. i got to yet to use md5sum, with the 18.04lts iso. i think i will try it in windows, just to see what happens. besides i have the md5sum program installed on windows. i will try to get back, to this thread asap with results, but will still check for updates to latest post. //Ed

My similar computer (Dell Dimension 4600) works with Lubuntu 18.04 LTS, so I think it should work for you too. Good luck

Chances are much better with a fresh installation compared to upgrading from a previous version.

just wanted to say thanks sudous. lubuntu 18.04 was downloaded from the Lubuntu.me site. it didnt pass the checksum.

[sudodus]

lubuntu.me is the official site of the Lubuntu community (which is officially recognized by Ubuntu).

Please try again, or try via http://releases.ubuntu.com/, where you can also find torrent files. One advantage with the torrent method is that the checksum is part of the process, so you should get it right that way without having to try more than once.
