I want to install xubuntu on my computer (http://pastebin.com/1dQVW7AV), but seeing this as soon as the computer starts to boot from the dvd kinda discourages me (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qbk_RKi1fY8). It reminds me far too much of my first busted video card. After that it seemed to work just fine from the livedvd.
Well, I said, maybe the guys at ubuntu forums know what to do! So I went to the application manu, opened fire-

Oh.
I know my computer isn't exactly top notch, but money is tight here and I quite frankly don't need a new one. This one works just fine to read, write, and play old games. The newest thing I've ever bothered to play is oblivion I think and morrowind is much better anyway.
Jokes aside the boot screen thing also happens when I try to go to a tty, which is annoying since my first reflex when everything ****s up is going to a tty and solve it from there.
Lastly, I tried to resize my windows partition to make space (My current instalation is old as sin so I will reinstall, and I want to have a data partition besides the windows and xubuntu ones) but I can't. GParted told me that I needed either ntfsprog or ntfs-3g, but I already had ntfs3g and ntfsprog didn't bring up anything on synaptic.
