LiveCD Installation
SOLUTION for `/bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off'
Feisty Fawn
At the prompt after error enter:
- (initramfs) modprobe piix (initramfs) exit
And continue booting from LiveCD.
Gutsy Gibbon
No solution yet.
Failed to start X
Feisty Fawn
The X will fail to start because of the new video card. * Use alternate installation CD http://releases.ubuntu.com/feisty/ubuntu-7.04-alternate-i386.iso * Find a way to make it work with VESA * DOES NOT WORK: With this driver it would work, however, not on Feisty, but on Gutsy -- newer xserver-xorg-core needed (>= 2:1.3.0.0) than that on LiveCD (2:1.2.0-3ubuntu8), unless you would bother upgrading Xorg on LiveCD :), but not worth it {{{ DOES NOT WORK:
wget http://ftp.us.debian.org/pub/debian/pool/main/x/xserver-xorg-video-intel/xserver-xorg-video-intel_2.0.0-1_i386.deb dpkg --force-all -i xserver-xorg-video-intel_2.0.0-1_i386.deb xorg.conf: replace "vesa" to "intel" }}}
* DOES NOT WORK: With this driver it would work, however, not on Feisty, but on Gutsy (newer xorg-core AND _libc6_ needed, unless you update whole system, but not worth it) {{{ DOES NOT WORK:
wget http://ftp.us.debian.org/pub/debian/pool/main/x/xserver-xorg-video-intel/xserver-xorg-video-intel_2.1.0-2_i386.deb dpkg --force-all -i xserver-xorg-video-intel_2.0.0-1_i386.deb xorg.conf: replace "vesa" to "intel" }}}
So we can start fighting for the first error (cannot access tty) on Gutsy and then have our GUI install. Otherwise -- just use the alternate CD for Feisty.
Gutsy Gibbon
First we need to deal with `cannot access tty' problem.
