Ultimate Edition Forum

I have downloaded the Ultimate Edition 2.2 64-bit .iso and burned it to a DVD but it does not appear to be functioning properly.

I have attached a screenshot of what I get when I boot the DVD.

Can someone please assist me with resolving this?

Hello and welcome to the Ultimate Edition Forums kayakjim. I hope you enjoy your stay

Re your problem. Did you do a md5 sum on the downloaded iso file to see if it was a good download? If not i will suggest doing that before we go any further!!

Just out of curiosity, why did you choose to download & use Ultimate Edition 2.2 when there are earlier editions out like Ultimate Edition 2.3/2.4!!

I am not saying Ultimate Edition 2.2 is wrong from you, i just want to know why you choose 2.2!!

I honestly did not but will do so. I did download the file from 3 different locations and the result was the same for each file.

From what I read about the editions, 2.2 seems to be what I was looking for but I am definitely open to suggestions.

My system does not work well with 9.10 so I was looking for a Jaunty-based Gnome edition and 2.2 seemed to match that. Did I miss something?

No brother, you didn't miss a thing. Please do the md5 sum then compare it to the provided hash that are below;


Release Name: Ultimate Edition 2.2
Architecture: x86 (32bit)
Code base: Jaunty
File size: 2.0 GB (2,132,037,632 bytes)
MD5SUM: ea8e75283ab13fcfc90ded4961acc586

OR

Release Name: Ultimate Edition 2.2
Architecture: 64 Bit
Code base: Jaunty
File size: 2.0 GB (2,122,715,136 bytes)
MD5SUM: e244433f33dd9040e811aa52cde70472

Naturally the md5 does not match. I downloaded the file from the main site, the University of Maryland, and Unixheads all with the same results. What are the odds of that? Could it be that the source file has been corrupted?

Not impossible but i don't want to think thats the case. It could possibly be a faulty network cable. Tell you what, since its a case where as you need a Jaunty base os, just download a copy of Ultimate Edition 2.3 as it is jaunty base also just as Ultimate Edition 2.2!! If that doesn't work out, i'll ask TheeMahn to do a md5 sum on the iso's on the server!!

Good luck!!

I was able to successfully download a torrent of 2.2 and the md5 matched. As soon as I finish the install, I will redownload the file from the other servers that I originally tried and compare their md5 again and let you know the results.

Thanks for all of the help so far!

Your welcome kayakjim
