| cheezfood | I got a problem installing 8.10...can anyone help? | 05:15 |
|---|---|---|
| cjwatson | cheezfood: if you describe what your problem is and stick around, I may be able to help later, or somebody else may beat me to it. It's 5:17am for me right now and I'm only at the computer for five minutes to prod some builds before going back to bed. | 05:17 |
| cheezfood | thx | 05:19 |
| cheezfood | I try to run ubiquity and get this error: | 05:19 |
| cheezfood | ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ ubiquity --help | 05:19 |

| cheezfood | running from the CD | 05:20 |
| cjwatson | sounds like a very unhappy python installation, and this didn't happen in stock Ubuntu 8.10. Unless this is modified from stock 8.10 in some way, you have a bad burn or a bad CD drive | 05:21 |
| cjwatson | try all of (a) cleaning the CD itself (b) burning the CD at a lower speed (c) cleaning the CD drive lens | 05:21 |
| cheezfood | hrm.. K thx...I'll just try a new cd | 05:21 |
| cjwatson | unfortunately optical drives/media are not as reliable as you might hope ... | 05:22 |
| cheezfood | aha... thx, I hadn't thought of that | 05:22 |
| cjwatson | do try cleaning the drive lens. That's the sort of thing you can clear up relatively easily and that's a real headache until you do, in my experience | 05:22 |
| cheezfood | with a lens cleaning CD? | 05:23 |
| cjwatson | yeah | 05:23 |
| cheezfood | kew | 05:23 |
| * cjwatson goes back to bed | 05:25 | |
