I successfully installed Ubuntu 14.04 64bit, and wanted to try the Lubuntu desktop as an alternate. I tried Lubuntu desktop, then uninstalled it, but now when I log out or reboot, instead of getting...
Ubuntu 12.04 won't recover to graphics mode

capscrew,
You are correct: I did find and use Gadmin-Samba and it did do some different things to the smb.conf, so... I added the following to the smb.conf:

I'm having exactly the same issue, so here's my output:

oldfred,
Well, I used your hints and advice and shrank the Win7 partition to make room for a 2048 MB swap and divided 30 GB between ext4 / and /home partitions which I made in the Ubuntu installer...
I did a reboot before and after the grub update. No joy. Cannot boot to external.
Am now doing a manual install and partition as you suggest.
Thanks for help. Will let you know how it goes.
Results from commands in blue.
In my BIOS, SATA can only be configured to IDE.
If I try to boot from the external hard disk, I get a grub error.
How about if I delete the volumes...
oldfred,
That was pretty cool. Here are the results:

Update:
I decided to let the install proceed from the "Prepare to Install" screen and let it cook overnight. This morning I awoke to the next screen, "Allocate Drive Space", so whatever is...

I have successfully installed Ubuntu 10.10 on two older computers, one a laptop using wubi, and the other an older Dell 8250 using an install CD with a dual boot on one drive. Now I'm trying to...
One other thing I should add. I found the program Ubuntu Tweak that Dutch70 mentioned after finding a web site for it at http://ubuntu-tweak.com/ after reading about it in Beginning Ubuntu Linux,...

Dutch70: Thanks for tip, but the Tweak I found in the Ubuntu Software Library was a hex editor, and it...
