Can you tell me how to do this with the new OS version? That would simplify things greatly.

To be honest, your explanation is a bit too complex for me.

The other thing to complicate things is that the intaller offers to install on the external hard drive and not on the HDD I have...

I am not able to change the permissions using the ubuntu liveCD. So I would like to install the OS, but for some reason, it does not allow the same function I used to use, which was basically to...

I was able to boot from the ubuntu live CD. Now it's telling me my files on the HDD have some kind of protection. Any way to unlock permissions?

Thanks for your responses. My Lubuntu bootable USB didn't work right (bugged at a self-test) screen, so I will try the latest ubuntu download.

After changing it to Legacy mode, it did proceed to Ubuntu's (or xubuntu or lubuntu, I forget which one I had put in last) desktop wallpaper, but there are no icons or taskbars loaded. The only thing...

I ran an ubuntu computer for 5+ years with a 600gig harddrive until about 3-4 years ago when the computer's power supply failed. Since then, the hard drive was extracted from the old case, and we...

I do not know what the Video card is. It's an Aspire One Acer Netbook if that helps. It has a 160 gig HD. I do not think it is SSD.

If LTSs have 5 years of support, could I go with 10.04 as well?...

Intel ATOM 1.66GHz and 1 GB RAM

Hello Papibe, could you suggest a specific version of Xubuntu? I tried to install 12.04 yesterday but the installation got stuck at the "Preparing to Install" screen.

I see from here that Xubuntu...

I installed 10.10 on my father's netbook after a few tries with 12.04. I am happy that a version of Ubuntu finally worked. It works well but when I use the software centre, I cannot readily install...

fixed. I put in 10.10 and that loader worked. Don't know why 12.04 didn't.

The netbook came with a starter windows I would say (one with just a start-up disk and no general windows disk). I've wiped all the partitions of their contents using GParted. I am trying to install...

Sorry that it was not clear enough. The process gets stuck by itself after I click "Continue" on the "Preparing to Install" screen. Something is going wrong: nothing happens after much waiting yet...

My father and I are trying to install Ubuntu (currently trying to install the 12.04 LTS) on an Acer Aspire One Netbook. I am already running Ubuntu 12.04 on my desktop computer and decided to have...

Thanks Peter but HL-2270DW is not a printer that is supported by the default ubuntu installation. There are many Brother printers on the list but not 2270!

Thanks flowr I will try that tonight.

Hello mates,

I have just upgraded my OS to 12.04. My driver installations are wiped out from what I can see. I can't say I remember how to install these. I just downloaded a fresh pair of cups...

I just installed 12.04 and it required about 4gigs. You should be fine with 250gb. I wonder if you could get the Ubuntu installation to take out your Vista.

Anyway, I don't know too well how it...

The old software centre was very dry looking, which was great. I'm a bit bothered by the lack of customizability in Dash and in Software Centre.

I want to remove the "recently used" heading in...

I also had 10.10 and moved up to 12.04. I regret this move completely. There must have been another way to update my software to new versions.

Yeah indeed unity and Dash are not to my liking. I...

Booted from the 12.04 liveCD. I selected the option "Upgrade" and was able to keep all my files. I just need to reconfigure everything.


PS. Unity is hrmm-how-could-I-say-it-nicely-?

My data is not super important but I do hope to keep it. I'll try to do something that will enable me to keep it, back it up and then to a complete reboot/format. So let me see what the liveCD allows...

I loaded the Cd I had burned of 12.04 ISO into the drive. Then I got a pop-up that said your Cd contains updates, would you like to add them to the Synaptic Upgrade Manager.. something like that. So...

I was running 10.10 or 11.04 (I always thought it to be 10.10 but when I would click on About Ubuntu it would say I was running 11.04 even though in the upgrade manager it would say upgrade TO...

Weird... I downloaded the iso for 12.04. I burned it on CD and ran the CD. The upgrades were added to the Synaptic Package Manager.. Not knowing which one of the long list the OS upgrade was on, I...
