| [05:15] <cheezfood> I got a problem installing 8.10...can anyone help? | |
| [05:17] <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. | |
| [05:19] <cheezfood> thx | |
| [05:19] <cheezfood> I try to run ubiquity and get this error: | |
| [05:19] <cheezfood> ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ ubiquity --help | |
| [05:19] <cheezfood> 'import site' failed; use -v for traceback | |

| [05:21] <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 | |
| [05:22] <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 | |
| [05:23] <cheezfood> with a lens cleaning CD? | |
| [05:23] <cjwatson> yeah | |
| [05:23] <cheezfood> kew | |
| [05:25] * cjwatson goes back to bed | |
