Hello,
I've been trying to install Ubuntu on an old PC using an USB device.
Versions tried so far: 10.04, 10.10, 11.04 and 11.10, without success.
The symptoms are the same on any of these versions: endless Ubuntu "dots" load screen. If I press esc, either this:
" getpwuid_r(): failed due to unknown user id (0) "
or this:
" stdin I/O error "
message appear on the screen.
Note that this happens when booting, so I don't have an installation. Actually I'm trying to install any Ubuntu.
The desktop configuration is intel P4 prescott 3GHz, 1.5GB RAM, NVidia GeForce FX5200 128MB, Seagate 20GB HD.
Any tips?
Thanks!
