so im trying to install ubuntu on my new laptop and i get the following error after clicking the install option

bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off


i have tried googling around and i have not found an answer :confused: any ideas
 
more info on your lappy would be helpful, as well as what version of Ubuntu you're installing.

And what exactly are you doing before you get this error?
 
Ubuntu 7.06 pc i386

on the Dell Vostro 1400

i get the error after clicking the install button ..

should i try installing the 64bit version ?
 
A bit off topic here but.... what is 7.06? I keep seeing people refer to it, and yet have been unable to find it anywhere... the latest available distro's I have found are 7.04 and Alpha 1~4 of 7.10...

Anyhow, back on topic, my guess is, as said above, you have a bad image... try re-burning the disc and see if you have any luck there....
 
the version is 7.04 you are correct my mistake

i re burned the image and i still get the error

had the same problem, the only distros that came close to installing on my 1420 was slackware 12, I'm currently running Debian Lenny/testing as its the only thing that could install and get ethernet and audio.
