I set up dual boot on my extra pc last night. First installed windows 7 and that went just fine. Downloaded Ubuntu and then did the MD5SUM and did not get a correct return that were listed on the site. I forgot to do that before I burnt the image to a disc, so I booted from the disc anyway to do the intergrity check and no errors were found. I then installed and everything seems fine except when it's booting, the purple screen is broken. should I try to redownload and re install? |

When you see the Grub menu, hit the e key.
Add to the end of the line: If this worked, do the following once Ubuntu is loaded to make the change permanent: Change the line that looks like: So that it now reads: Save the file, then run: |

The difference in the md5sum that you see is telling you that you have a download that was corrupted in some way. There's a difference in the iso file that may, and probably has, caused you problems. The Integrity check only tests to see if the disk is 100% readable, it does not mean that the iso was not corrupted during download. You will need to get the iso again. If you have a problem downloading reliably then you should use one of the torrent downloads since torrents have built-in block testing and recovery in case of corruption. I've had one or two corrupted iso files from normal downloads over the years, but not one since I started using torrents for downloading them. |
