Ubuntu 64-bit: Ubiquity not Working from Live CD

TooLSHeD · 04-11-2009, 03:06 AM

Hi

I recently got an HP Elitebook 8530w and I want to install Ubuntu 8.04 64-bit on it. The problem is that when I try and run the installer from the desktop nothing happens. I try uibiquity from a terminal and get the following error:
error: dbus_bus_get: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoSocket: Failed to connect to socket /var/run/dbus/system_bus: socket: Connection refused

Just as the Live CD desktop loads it displays: "Internal Error: Failed to Initialize HAL". Ubuntu is my primary OS, so this is a real pain.

Thanks

First eliminate the possibility that it's the cd itself. Check the ISO's md5sum (usually not the problem), and burn the cd at a very low speed (4x at least). If that's not it, try using the alternative cd found here. If the alternative cd fails or if you complete the install and encounter and error, post back and we can go from there.

I've run "check CD for errors" and it came out fine. I'll try what you said, thanks.

Is yours a AMD64 Or Intell 64 if not it whand run on that go for 32bit on

It's an Intel Core 2 duo. The alternative cd worked, thanks. It installed fine, but now when I boot up and the desktop loads I still get a "Failed to initialize HAL" error and the network does not work.

When I run network-admin I get a similar error when I ran ubiquity from the terminal: can't connect to the system bus.

Why I asked is got it on my Laptop AMD64-2x Atlon it runs well on that but did read it is no good on 32 vertion Other wise I don,t know a thing about it Linux I mean

It use to have Vista but whend over the top of that and only Linux My wife likes it better than Windows

1. Do you have any USB devices connected during boot?
2. Please post the output of the following commands:

Code:

dmesg | tail

lspci  <-- the l is a lowercase L

3. Stop & start the HAL daemon, please post any errors back:

Code:

sudo /etc/init.d/hal stop

sudo /etc/init.d/hal start

Nothing other than a simple USB mouse.

Code:

dmesg | tail

I cannot connect to the internet or use a USB device, so I had to take a photo. Let me know if you can read anything, I'll try and repost a better pic.

Finally, restarting hal failed. It takes forever and there is no [ok] at the end :(

lspci isn't crucial; just helpful to see exactly what you're running. The mouse shouldn't cause problems, but other USB devices plugged in at boot can -- at least with Ubuntu. That would be the simple problem, anyway.

If you would post the output of the following commands; it shouldn't be near as long as lspci:

Code:

sudo /usr/sbin/hald --verbose=yes --daemon=no

ps axwwww | grep dbus

Thanks for helping, but I eventually installed 8.10 and it works perfectly. Couldn't wait anymore.
