Ubuntu / Oracular
Hello,

It is not possible to download an iso file.
It takes hours to get it but it doesn't boot
The sha is fail permanently.

On today I've got a fail message during a test - download on youtube.
It mentioned there is no dirmanager but it is on my computer.

I have to repair the bootpartition on a dual boot system and the iso
files provide maybe support to repair the damage.
Anyone who can help?

Hi koffie,

This is a Debian list: Ubuntu support is off-topic here but
you could try an Ubuntu list or forum.

The sha is fail permanently.

Where are you - where are you downloading from - which mirror or site?
Try:

http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/cdimage/releases/24.10/release/

Also, bear in mind that 24.10 is not the Ubuntu LTS which is 24.04

Hi,

I wonder if koffie is not a subscriber to debian-user and so has not
seen any of the replies here to their mail?

Below is a direct copy of perhaps the most helpful one, but the bottom
line is: you need to use an Ubuntu support forum for Ubuntu help, not a
Debian one.

Thanks,
Andy

Hello Andy

thanks for your answer,

I'm from Norway.
I know that this is a Debian list.

There is a hint that all can post because of no
regulary administration on the Debian list. My qestion is also not
specific for Ubuntu.

Otherwise, this is a real treat to me for month.
I don't get support from Ask Ubuntu. [https://askubuntu.com/questions/1536045/thunderbird-evolution-snap-a-s-o-removed-after-fail-installation-of-ssh-rec?noredirect=1#comment2702140_1536045]

The same to Cloudflare, Honeypot, the ClamAV user list after attacks by
malware and cool downblock.

I've tried several times to get answer by the mailing list there.
Nothing.Only after protests on Github the subscribing has been replied.
But the silence is ongoing further.

The Tor-project has suspend my account after problems with their bridges.
After some short replies with delays they refused any support.
All possibilies to get in touch were blocked without any comments.

So its a very strange and scary situation. All tries to get orientation
and answering is a risk on further spread.

The technical aspect is: It was not possible to get any live system on
an USB stick. Switching to the Windows installation has prevented me
from the use of all kinds of img programs.
The downloads has lasted 5-6h for the Ubuntu desktiop but the sha was
never o.k. All prepared USBs from the Linux installation got a fail
message, theydidn't boot.

Accidently on yesterday I tried to boot in the Grub command-line and
that worked.
You dont find anything in the net.

I cant try the rescue mode. The systempartion on the Window dev with the
boot menu was destroyed during fail formatting instead of an USB stikk.

Or Am I wrong? I have to find a solution to be able to boot from USB to
start my Ubuntu. If that works I can try to restore the system partition
on Windows.

Ok. Merry Christmas now.

Koffie

Looks like you are in a lot of trouble, the only thing I can suggest
would be to reinstall Windows and use WSL to have Ubuntu.
Still on Windows, you could also look at Cygwin.

You might want to rethink your strategy as you are not able to get the
help that you would like to have.

Hi koffie,

I'm unsure which Andy you are reply to - me (Andy Smith) or Andy Cater.
😀

This is going to be my last reply as I/we cannot help you with Ubuntu or
snaps.

Some of your responses are a little objectionable but I'm going to
consider that as being due to a language barrier and not pick up on
them.

I don't think you are subscribed to the debian-user mailing list that
you are posting to, are you? Most people who reply to you will assume
you are subscribed, and will not send a copy of their mails directly to
you. So if you wan tto carry on this conversation I would strongly
advise you to subscribe.

However, no one here is going to be able to help you with Ubuntu or with
snaps, so if that is your goal there isn't really much point.

I'm sure people here would be glad to help you with a Debian install,
Live or otherwise.

Thanks,
Andy

If you have system recovery to do - you might try the GRML live USB
system. Based on Debian and has a lot of useful utilities.

This may depend on exactly how you're copying the .iso file to the USB.

I am wondering why the person has persistently refused to subscribe to,
and post the query to, the Ubuntu users list, for which, the URL has
previously been posted.

The person appears to be posting much rubbish relating to this;
regrading the
"The technical aspect is: It was not possible to get any live system on
an USB stick. "

If the person had posted to the Ubuntu users mailing list, the person
would have probably been referred to using Ventoy drives, which allow
multiple bootable iso's to be held on a Ventoy drive, for choosing and
booting from any of them.

The persistence of the person, in refusing to subscribe to, and post the
query to, the Ubuntu users list, make me think that the person is simply trolling this list, and, that the person should be moderated on this
list, for persistently refusing to get involved in the more appropriate
list.

The person's actions on this list, are equivalent to complaining about,
and requesting help for, MS Windows problems.

What the mailing list administrators choose to do about this thread and
the koffie person, is up to them, but, the persistent refusal of the
person to act appropriately, despite repeated referrals to the Ubuntu
users list, is annoying.

Of course, we could always open this list up to solving BSD problems, too...

I would not discount the effect that a big language gap can have.

Either way, it's clearly not going to work out though.
