Xubuntu 6.10 i386 1 checksums failed
I followed the instructions regarding WinMD5Sum and the result was "MD5 Check Sums are the same." Then I again did a full erase on the CD-RW and burned the .iso at
This time I used an external drive (Memorex DVD16+/-DL4RWID2) and selected the slowest speed listed by Nero Express, which was 4x. Burning was successful. I put the Xubuntu CD in the internal drive of my Gateway (192 MB RAM), rebooted, and checked the CD. Again the result was "1 checksums failed." Still, I started the Live CD. First, four or five error messages displayed, all but one beginning with “firmware helper.” Next, the screen split in two, with several Xubuntu logos on the top half and several Windows XP logos on the bottom half, with the screen as a whole taking on a “streaked” appearance. Then the desktop appeared and the streaking disappeared. Unlike in my previous attempt, I was able to move the pointer. Also unlike before, a wizard appeared and offered to check installation (no installation had been done). I clicked “next…next…” but the wizard didn’t appear to check anything, but instantly displayed something about success and a Close button, which I clicked. Then I opened first, the Mandela video, and then, the Aesop file. Both played but with neither could I hear audio.
My questions are:
1. what are the likely effects of installing with a disc that has failed its checksum (since most functions appeared to work despite this)?
1A. If they are likely negative, what can I do to get a Live CD that does not fail its checksum?
2. What is the significance of the error messages from the “firmware helper?”
2A. What, if any, is the significance of the split screen with both logos?
3. How can I ensure that audio will play in Xubuntu?
I should mention that the file I used is entitled “xubuntu-
