    Ubuntu Herd 2 - i386 Desktop CD - Installation Error

    The i386 herd 2 iso works well as a live cd, but I can't install from it. I launch the installer & successfully go through the first 4 steps, but it crashes & freezes my laptop on the transition to step 5.

    Here's a photo of the result:

    If you need any more info, let me know. In the mean time I'll install with the alternate CD.

    Re: Ubuntu Herd 2 - i386 Desktop CD - Installation Error

    Please, report it at Launchpad. And try installing it with the following command:

    sudo ubiquity

    Thanks

    Re: Ubuntu Herd 2 - i386 Desktop CD - Installation Error

    I was able to get Herd 2 to install. I had a similar problem as you, once I got past the time zone my screen went all goofy. I hit Ctrl-Alt-F1, then Ctrl-Alt-F7 and it took me right back to where I had left off. Continued installation with no more problems.

    Hope this helps!

    Didn't work, completely locked up. I will follow pochu's suggestion later.

    Try pressing ctrl+alt+F1 before you run the installer, then press ctrl+alt+F7 to switch back to the desktop, run the installer, and then press ctral+alt+F1 when it "locks up" and then ctrl+alt+F7 again to get back to the desktop.

    Works for me if I do that.

    Doesn't work for me, freezes completely, responds to nothing (different effects on different hardware I suppose).

    I have submitted the bug on launchpad: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/80205

    I have already installed with the alternate cd, though I will try 'sudo ubiquity' later.

    Yes, I knew it wouldn't work, but doesn't it display any output on the terminal? That may help to resolve the problem

    No, It just launches the installer as expected & freezes at the mentioned point as shown. With it being totally frozen, I can't see/access any output.

    Out of curiosity, what is step 5?
