I just downloaded Ubuntu remix Netbook edition 10.10. during the installation i wasnt paying attention and I downloaded the 32 bit version... The thing is the Unity interface is not showing up, and perhaps its becuase of this 32 bit thing. Anyway I would like to install the 64 bit version, not . Ive read around that the best way is to uninstall everything from windows (its dual boot) and re install. The problem is I dont have a windows xp start up cd, so that wouldnt work, or would be complicated.
However somewhere I read I could install over it, and I would like your thoughts. First off how would that work?? Ive learned my lesson not to play with the OS... to how to delete Ubuntu, without a Windows xp CD. To make it harder I dont know anything of computers so yay!
how to install a exe app on linux using the terminal!

Anyway after all I have decided to put Mandriva over Ubuntu - that was the original plan - but now I am facing problems with installing Mandriva.
1st. The oriiginal cd drive is not recognised by Ubuntu Therefore I am using an old drive which at least is working.
2nd I cannot run Mandriva dvd.
My questions:
How can I delete Ubuntu and replace it with Mandriva? If this is too difficult, I would switch back to Windows 7. At least in Windows I have a bit of experience. The windows 7 dvd it cannot be run also.
I've been trying to get Ubuntu on my computer for months now and after having googled no relevant cases which may help me I would like some help.
I am trying to install Ubuntu on my computer (which already has windows and I don't want to lose it yet)
I have already burnt 3 CDs yet the problem is the same each time, that's why I believe the problem does not come from the burning. I checked the md5sum and there was no problem.
However when I try to install Ubuntu (or sometimes during a live session) after partitionning my computer and selecting mounting points, having "format" checked on the concerned partitions, the installation goes halfway through the "copying files" process and my computer simply reboots. More precisely, in the middle of installation the screen is replaced with the loading page of Ubuntu (like when you start with the live CD) then my computer reboots, no questions asked (not even to remove the CD, it reboots with the CD in it... while during a manual shutdown it would open the tray and ask you to close it)
I'm using ubuntu 9.1 and I'm having trouble installing software. How can I enable Gdebi package installer to automatically install programs I download. Every time I click on whatever I want to install it doesn't work and when I right click it, it doesn't give me the option to use it.

I have windows installed on my C drive and I'm planning on installing Linux on another blank drive. The Ubuntu version is the newest one (9.10) I think. I've got a Core i7, EVGA mobo, Nvidia 9600GT video card, and 6 gigs of memory. HDDs are all WD I believe, and the one I'm putting Linux on is 320 Gig.
Ubuntu is a great operating system. It fast, secured and easy to use when compared to most of other operating Systems. But Ubuntu is not complete without some additional packages. One command make Ubuntu useful for everyday use. To get started, press Ctrl - Alt - T on your keyboard to open Terminal. When Terminal opens, type the command below and press Enter to install. sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras Programs that will get installed after running the above command are: MP3, DVD Playback support Microsoft Fonts Java Runtime Flash Player and many codecs that are required to play MP3 and DVDs. (OR) install Ubuntu restricted extras Ubuntu by default, doesn't allow you to play MP3, DVD, Flash or most media formats for legal reasons. You must always install additional programs that will allow you to play those media To install Ubuntu restricted extras go to Ubuntu Software Center from the application launcher. Then search for "Ubuntu Restricted Extras" and Install . It will install commonly used pplications with restricted copyright (mp3,avi,mpeg,True Type,java,Flash,Codecs).

View 5 Replies View RelatedI recently downloaded Ubuntu, with Windows Vista dual booting. I am fed up because Ubuntu won't work with my Broadcom BCM4312 Network Connector. I have decided that I am going to install Linux Mint inplace of Ubuntu. The only thing I am worried about is: Will Mint give me the option of which partiton to put it on? I know this sounds stupid, but I am being very cautious about not deleting my files and Vista.

I was using a 3g iPod nano which was supported by my flavor of Ubuntu . However, recently I have acquired a 4g iPod Touch and to my dismay, it is not supported on my OS. After doing some research, I discovered that Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx supports all the newer generation Apple products, including my 4g iPod Touch. Is there anyway I can install this package without reformatting my computer COMPLETELY over again? Are there any easier ways to be able to sync my ipod with my computer?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI installed Ubuntu 10.10 to an external HDD. The install went off without any problems or errors and the external HDD boots no problem on many different computers. Ubuntu runs great except for one problem. After I put the computer into sleep/standby mode it doesn't come out of standby mode properly. On some machines I get a black screen and a cursor on others I get some error messages. I then have to force a shut down and reboot. There is no problem going into standby or doing a regular shut down.

View 3 Replies View RelatedMy computer is currently running on Windows 7 and I had a spare partition formatted as ntfs. At first I tried to install ubuntu to that partition. Everything was fine, ubuntu recognized my previously installed OS and all partitions. At some point during the installation, however, it is recommended to have another partition formatted as swap.Then I split the partition into two parts and formatted one as swap and one as ext3 using Acronis Disk Director.
Then I restarted my computer to install ubuntu to new partition. This time it did not recognize any of the partitions and said that "there are no operating system on this computer." The whole disk was appearing as one partition.At that time, I quitted installation and go back to Windows 7, it was working properly. I booted using Acronis Disk Director and partitions were in their proper place.I tried formatting back to ntfs and then to swap and ext3 again, nothing changed. (I also tried several other combinations, nothing worked.)
i installed Ubuntu 9.10 on an external hard-drive according to an online guide i found. The first problem i ran into was that Grub takes ages to load, however, after it's loaded, i am able to choose what OS to start(i have windows vista of my computers hard-drive). The second problem is that i am now unable to start windows vista without having my external hard drive (the one that Ubuntu is installed on) connected to my PC, it just says something like "Loading grub....no such disk". Im really worried that i've done something irriversible.

Linux (Ubuntu) is not providing any updates for Java Runtime Environment! According to what I find on my computer, I have Java build 1.6.0_15-b03. Ubuntu Software Center is indicating 6-15-1 (sun-java6-bin). I have manually downloaded JRE 6u17 and 6u18 from Sun. However, I have not - as yet - attempted to install/update Java myself. First, why isn't Linux providing us end-users with the updates as they are published? I thought that, for the sake of ensuring "STUFF" is up-to-date and SECURITY reasons, that the (or some other place) would be providing updates as they occur. I have just started Ubuntu - my ranking - "kindergarden at best"! I still have not been able get the "handle" on the "command line (codes)" structure and usage. I am so use to the Windows way of installing, updating, and upgrading software that Linux (Ubuntu) is causing quite a bit of consternation; just plain frustrating and confusing! I have been trying, and seeing, so-called instructions of how to install/update Java but there are just too many "assumptions" being interposed by the author(s). I just wish, and want, straight forward, step-by-step instructions in the "how to" department - written in plain language, for the complete novice (brand new to Linux). So, here's my question ... how do I manually update/upgrade (or install) Java RE on Ubuntu? Do I have to remove, add, change anything? I'm sure that there are others in the Linux world that are in need of some straight forward assistance. I want to continue using my Ubuntu and honestly, would like to be more proficient in it's use. But in the meantime.
