BT5 Gnome 32bit install hangs at 99%

[adsl007ku]

i left it there when i went to school(99%).............when i came back home........it was still at 99%
p.s. it is installed in virtual box and os is unbutu

I had the same problem with vmware player.Try using VirtualBox.That will take some time aswell but a t least it finishes the installation.When the installation reaches 99% you will have to work for half an hour and it will go on.At least that is what i have experienced.

Why not download the VMware image and import it to VirtualBox ?

clean up scripts.

i thought virtualbox only works with ISO, not IMG files

the same...

with gnome 32 and also with kde32.

99% and still blocked. dvd try again and again but still 99 for over an hour.
It's a old sistem with P4 3.0 and 1gb ram but bt4 always worked like a charm. And also form live dvd bt5 works very well.


But.... 99% forever....

are you sure it really hangs?

my install was sitting on 99% for 5 mins, as i noticed HDD working i let it continue, then 5 min later it stated "almost done" instead of "soon done" then 5 min after that it was installed.

me too!even my laptop takes more time to complete and i only assigning 3.2 GB of RAM to my virtual machine

I have the same issue using Ubuntu 11.04 and the latest build of Virtualbox.
I get an error after it sits at 99% for a while. Error reading from the DVD.... dirty blah blah blah <-- ISO no dirt!
I have downloaded the 64bit ISO three times, and used a known good copy from a friend.

My settings:
12 GB for the hard drive (dynamic) - SATA ACHI is on
1024 for the memory
Ubuntu 64 for the framework
12 MB for video
NAT
Default audio settings
No USB

It seems to fail at copying files for some reason.

I am going to burn the ISO to disk and try using the disk and not the ISO.

Using a real DVD worked for me. It was very slow at 99%, but it did work.

I did this using a 32 bit version. I have not tried it on 64 yet, but think it will work the same.

Good luck,

Dalobo

Did you checked the ISO md5?

Also did you checked the VMware/Virtualbox logs?

Its supposed to do that. I'm guessing it just has alot to do at that point in time.
