Hello everyone, I got a headache from all this mess trying to dual boot Ubuntu/Windows 7 on my computer so I decided to ask for your help. Here is my problem:
Info:
I used Wubi and ubuntu-11.04-desktop-amd64.iso.
Main OS: Windows 7 Pro 64bit
Videocard: Nvidia GT 240
Problems (underlined) as they occured:
1) Installed Ubuntu within Windows, rebooted, saw Ubuntu loading screen (with dots) and then I get graphics corruption (it's really bad I can't recognize anything in the screen).
Then I booted in recovery/failsafe graphic mode and I let the installation finish, then automatically rebooted.
2) Let it boot without pressing anything and instead of graphic corruption it boots in terminal.
Tried startx command but it says something relative to "x not found".
Then I found out I had to install proprietary Nvidia drivers so I:
3) Booted again in failsafe graphic mode (in recovery mode) and tried to install it but... no internet connection.
I tried "sudo ifconfig eth0 up" and I got: eth0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device
NOTE: If I let it boot itself (terminal) I HAVE internet connection (found out with wget and ping commands).
---
I know that it was boring to read but I was trying to explain the problems the best I could.
