Bug Description

I downloaded the latest Ubuntu 12.04.1 (amd64) distribution ISO, burned it successfully onto a CD, and tried booting it. It booted and came to the screen where it asks if you want to install or just "try" (run from CD/memory). I selected try.

The CD was accessed for awhile, but then after awhile it just stopped and the same initial dialog box was still just sitting there in the middle of the screen. It has been like that for over 30 minutes now, and I don't think it is going to change.

Needless to say, this sucks. I can't even run the bleedin' thing!

Hardware is:

AMD Athlon 64 model 1640B cpu
MSI K9VGM-V motherboard
2GB ram
--NO-- hard disk (I shouldn't need one if I am just running from the CD/memory, right?)
Lite-On SOHW-1673S CD/DVD burner
LG GH22NS50 CD/DVD burner
ATI X600 graphics card

There is nothing else in the system... no other cards or anything.

Seriously, WTF? I never had any previous versions of Ubuntu choke on me like this.

Sigh. I guess that I have no choice now but to scrounge around and try to find a spare drive so that I can do an actual install. I *really* didn't want to have to do that, but I guess the bug, whatever it is, is kind-of forcing me to.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. It seems that your bug report is not filed about a specific source package though, rather it is just filed against Ubuntu in general. It is important that bug reports be filed about source packages so that people interested in the package can find the bugs about it. You can find some hints about determining what package your bug might be about at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/FindRightPackage. You might also ask for help in the #ubuntu-bugs irc channel on Freenode.

To change the source package that this bug is filed about visit https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1060525/+editstatus and add the package name in the text box next to the word Package.
