You will be able to dual boot providing you have enough hard drive space to allocate enough for the second operating system plus your data and programs, plus day to day updates etc.

All during the precise development cycle I ran 32 bit on my test system with an Nvidia GeForce 6200 graphics card. Apart from the odd Nvidia speed bump it was OK.
I decided to try 64 bit now the...
Did you try the -U switch with usermod, or did that give you the "cannot lock" message as well?
Something seems well broken if this is the case.
Did you try making the new admin user account?
...
Your username does indeed exist, unless you deleted that user. (It's not a good idea to delete your only admin user). Inability to use the existing ICEauthority file is a pretty good indication...
You can't just boot off the USB that you copied the ISO to, you have to make a bootable USB out of it first:

Just install Unetbootin and use it to make a...
Go to the Home folder and see if the previous owner has left all his junk in there. With a bit of luck you'll be able to delete enough files and dross that you will be able to download Ubuntu. and...
It's either badly configured ( / is too small) or the drive is full of junk. Just another reason to download the LiveCD iso and start from scratch.
Information to get you started here:...
Have a look at these instructions:

If you've just been given the computer then you can probably just start from scratch and re-install. That way...
In his recent "Ask Mark" interview Mark Shuttleworth stated that every Launchpad bug gets airtime on his desktop. Because of this I'd suggest that people who care about this issue add a few measured...
Understood, sorry about the knee-jerk reaction. No-one has yet added a 'me too' to the bug... maybe I am expecting too much too soon.
I honestly believe that Unity is the way forward but a lot...
It might still be considered a bug inasmuch as there's no easy and intuitive mouse only method to select minimised applications. The keyboard is the _only_ way to get this functionality. This is...
Yes, it's bug in as much as it's an error in logic and is not obvious, and there's no purely mouse way to do it.
If you use <super>w you can select a single instance to unminimize. super-w...
Yep, welcome to the naughty corner. Here: have a pointy hat <:-D
The whole thread has got so unwieldy, the notifications don't work some of the time and at others I a notification...
It's ambiguous, because if you're using it as a measure of acceptance (or rejection) of Unity then it completely ignores several groups: Those that have not upgraded and are still using LTS or 10.10...
Interesting... from the point of view that it shows how lazy people are... and how you can skew the results depending on how you ask the question.

Actually, it doesn't show at all on my 11.10 system. Gnome terminal is not findable with the dash... at all. I never noticed because I just hit <ctrl><alt>t
Oh, it will find uxterm etc (with...
I've voiced my concern about the accessibility issues in Unity before, quite early on in "that other thread". With more focus on the keyboard and the use of the global menu Unity is not very...
Asus were shipping some of their netbooks with Ubuntu. I don't know if that is still the case - probably.
Keyboard shortcuts are not intuitive, therefore counter productive for new users. ...
Yah, Maverick had a few issues (the dual boot installer, configuring fstab, startup disk creator), which I thought were fixed later. I'm not sure what made it onto the LiveCDs though.
Lucid LTS...
As you've figured you'd definitely want the amd64 version. The only other option that I can say will definitely work would be i86.
Don't be confused with the 'amd' and 'i' prefix as they denote...
Not with the live CD, but the installer that comes with the alternate-install CD is text mode.
I don't recommend on-line release upgrades as a general rule. They're slow, and when they go wrong...
Not quite, it also works on the description, so very general searches are possible. It's not ideal but I'm sure things will improve over time.
Agreed. The default image viewer is 'Eye of...
I have tried it. Also Fedora, Xubuntu, Kubuntu, and Slackware 13.37. Slackware with Xubuntu was interesting, but Lubuntu was exciting from the point of view that it was an easy-install 'buntu...
That's a definition of the word "intuitive" that I haven't previously come across.
You might be _productive_ with Unity, after learning most of the keyboard shortcuts. That alone negates the...
Your car is now obsolete and you are being given a FREE (and unasked for) upgrade to the new control system. The steering wheel has been replaced by two push buttons and the pedals have been changed...
