Want to test Ubuntu 12.04 ISO, and remove the lock

Asked by Rohith Kumar

Hi Team,

I was initially trying to download Ubuntu from Ubuntu main site, and unfortunately downloaded got broken. And later I used Zsync to continue download from http://ftp.iinet.net.au/pub/ubuntu-releases/12.04/

 I got now. ubuntu-12.04-desktop-i386.iso
Type: raw CD image (application/x-cd-image)
Size: 735.4 MB (735,358,976 bytes)
And it mentions that "You are not the owner, so you cannot change these permissions.

I can't md5 check it, as well as unlock it. Will this ISO works and is it for Windows wubi installer version.

Kindly help.
I got Ubuntu 11.10 and Windows now.
please suggest

Use chown to set the owner to your user. Did you by any chance run either the zsync or web browser using sudo as this will cause this.

I don't get what you mean by this "Did you by any chance run either the zsync or web browser using sudo as this will cause this."

Indeed this is what I did previously.

I did this

Downloads$ sudo chown root:admin ubuntu-12.04-desktop-i386.iso
-rw------- 1 root admin 718124 2012-04-23 12:27 ubuntu-12.04-desktop-i386.iso

But still it is locked.

Its because you are using sudo with the zsync, it is making the file be owned by root. It doesn't need sudo as the data is in your home directory which you have write access to. If you use sudo when it's not needed you will get issues. If you run:

sudo chown rohit:rohit ~/Downloadsubuntu-12.04-desktop-i386.iso

It will be owned by your user.

sudo chown rohit:rohit ~/Downloads ubuntu-12.04-desktop-i386.iso

Above code did work for me .
Thanks for this. I tried it with ISO master, it didn't work indeed. hmmm.

I got this now

rohit@rohit-Aspire-4720Z:~/Downloads$ md5sum ubuntu-12.04-desktop-i386.iso

And is it Wubi or Linux package. How to know it. Last help :)

Wubi is on the CD last I checked, you can run wubi from where it is now and the ISO will be used.

Once again, don't use sudo when it's not needed.

Hmm.. How to do that. Can I upgrade from ISO within harddisk or any other option wherein I can upgrade running 11.10 using this ISO. And I will make sure not to use Sudo for everything.

Since I never upgraded or used Wubi. So is their option in Wubi to upgrade running Ubuntu or is that I should get bootable USB with this Wubi and boot it for upgrade

Since Wubi gets inside windows bootloader. And presently I have grub
