Glad to hear there was a solution.
First, take no offence. You do realize that millions are using ubuntu without your problems right? The computer is nothing if not relentlessly logical. The same cannot be said of us humans. There is...
I think if you will get support for a longer period and that is important to you, install Ubuntu and add LXDE.
When you boot do you see a prompt as the first thing displayed that offers a boot...
I'm still sorting through all of this as it is being done quite non standard since you are using mounted ISO's instead of installing from a live session booted to USB, CD, DVD.
What was happening...
You could run the boot info script in darkod's signature or make yourself a boot-repair disk or even install boot-repair in your working installation. These options will allow you to pass very good...
You are starting everything correctly. Yes you choose something else. Yes you choose to install on your desired partition and choose it's mountpoint as /. That is sufficient. It will use the existing...
Assuming you'll answer the question about WUBI above that you didn't, where did you choose to install the bootloader during the installation of Kubuntu? And yes, do you have more than one drive?
...
This may or may not be related to your issue but does seem to prevent a K60 from printing. I was getting an error message, There was an error during the CUPS operation:...
Will do, thanks!
I'm not 100% with this either on my oneiric partitions. I'm going through some things and will let you know how it goes. I'd be happy to have anything you learn too. I googled it and found something...
You should create a new thread on this since this one is marked solved and you aren't the original requester.
Please be as specific as possible about exactly what is happening and what your...
Personally I think you're a bit premature on the wiping. I think you should create a new thread on this and see if someone with good knowledge on encryption can help. I can think of some ideas but I...
This project is a very useful tool and I for one have seen that questions are promptly answered and requested changes handled quickly as possible. To me this is another example of the proper function...
I think you're figuring this stuff out just like I did Shane. That would explain us coming to the same ideas. I'll include a shot of my partitions here so you can see how mine is set up. It sounds...
Can you tell if the lockups are complete or just x possibly? You might try something from this list of options that I keep at hand. I just know that sometimes you can't tell if the screen just isn't...
I think the previous post is right but I also think you'll have to have created the live cd/usb with persistence. Did you do that? Unetbootin allows that when creating a live usb.
What does update manager now say needs updated? Anything? Does synaptic report any upgrades can be marked? If either say there are updates needed, do them. All downloads should happen before the...
Good stuff! You've prepared well and protected yourself. Everyone has answered with conservative recommendations which are appropriate.
No, you don't have to use a swap unless you want to be able...
I'm one of the people that Fred refers to that only have one drive and have both win 7 and multiple linux distros on it. I don't have any windows related issue with that.
Your screen shot of...
Yes you can but you'll have to be sure to choose the "something else" manual disk allocation option when you are at the disk allocation step of the install. I believe its during that step when you...
Thanks much Lucas! That gives me something to sleep on and research. Mike, does wubi make a difference? I have no experience with it.
From your description, you have not wiped grubs initial program loader from the MBR of your 500 GB drive. This is written to the very first sectors of that hard drive. Whatever you are using to wipe...
I don't know about the raid issue as it is rare and I don't know that I fully trust the output of the boot info script in this case. I do know that I failed to include a first step in what I posted,...
These commands should let you see what partition you should use.
This will determine which partition has the grub files. You need to use hd0 and try 1, 2 and 3 for the partitions. Example-
ls...
From the grub rescue> prompt, type this command.
ls
You should see some listing of drive and partition in this format. hd0,3 would translate to the first hard drive and partition 3. Note the hard...
