Hi All
I tried to install Ubuntu Studio 10.4 on to an old Compaq TC1100 Tablet PC. All went well until it came to the software selection and installation part. It said that it had failed on that art but I could install them at a later stage. I continued to the end
When the system was restarted it stopped at the first non graphical login as if in terminal mode. It let me log in but I could not seem to do anything. i.e. ls produced nothing. sudo ls ditto etc.
I gave up on this and put 10.4 back without any problem
Tried the installation again on virtualbox on my main machine and come up with the same thing again
This machine is a dual core intel, 2gig ram 500gb drive
Any ideas anyone.
Many thanks

Could be a burning error. If you want studio you can just upgrade your regular Ubuntu from synaptic package manager, search for ubuntu-studio and install the art metapackage.

Hi cchhrriiss121212
Many thanks for your prompt reply
I will try the upgrade then thanks for the tip
Don't think it is a burning error as the first install was off of a pen drive and the second straight from the ISO into the Virtualbox CD
I think your method will be easier for now
Many thanks again
