Ubuntu 12.10 install stuck at first step

rated 0 times [ 0] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 2502 / 3 Years ago, sat, august 14, 2021, 4:20:52

I'm trying to install Ubuntu 12.10 from a DVD-R disk, and everything is just fine until I get to the first window after clicking Install Ubuntu I checked the box Download updates while installing and also the Install third-party software box.

After clicking next, however, the install just hangs there. I've been waiting for over an hour now and all I see is the mouse cursor showing that it's loading.

What should I do to get past this? Thanks!

Check the md5sum of your downloaded iso, (in windows use http://www.winmd5.com/), get the checksum to compare with from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes, if the sums are the same burn the iso on another dvd preferably on a regular dvd and try again. If the sums are not the same redownload ubuntu.
