I'm running ubuntu 9.10 64 bit on an amd x64 computer. I have a cd for kubuntu 9.04 32 bit that I want to try. When I reboot and the "boot from CD/DVD:" comes up I hit the enter key (sometimes many times) but it won't load the kubuntu.
View 4 RepliesI installed Kubuntu-Desktop on Ubuntu & now my Ubuntu installation is on the 2nd (data)partition! It's hard to believe but I'm looking at it from a live cd and that's what looks like happened.For right now, my main goal is to get Ubuntu back.Should I make the 2nd partition bootable so I have a dual-boot option at startup? Should I make the 2nd partition bootable & not the first? Can I uninstall Kubuntu somehow & have things return to how they were?I thought I was just loading an alternative sassion to Gnome.I thought that the only thing I said yes to was to use the KDE boot manager (or whatever).

Tri-booting. They were installed in the order I listed above. I ran into a few bugs with Kubuntu, so I no longer want to use it. I want to use GParted on a LiveCD to format Kubuntu and expand my Ubuntu home partition to sit on top of Kubuntu's space right now. If I nuke Kubuntu, will Grub still exist with my Ubuntu/XP entries to boot?
I would like to apply KDE on my Kubuntu because the current one blew up. But each time I to sudo get-apt it seems to be fetching from the cloud. Is there a way I can make it to read from my local Kubuntu CD? I have both Ubuntu 10.04 LTS and Kubuntu Live CDs.
I believe the local disk read should be faster to translate than to bite the bytes across thousands of miles over the wire right?
I have installed ubuntu and windows using wubi. Now i want to install kubuntu without removing those OSs. Will it show all 3 OS while booting? What may be the effect of this new installation on my old installations?
If I install Fedora with wubi, what will be the side effect of this. Will they happily go side by side or will it remove other installations. Can i install all these 4 OSs at one time, or do it allow just 2 installations at a time.
I did install Kubuntu 10.10 LVM Encrypted from Alternate CD on dual boot XP with Ubuntu 10.10.http://members.iinet.net/~herman546/p19.html My problem is,that when installation asked me for where to put GRUB I didn't type anything because I have GRUB2 already installed. Now it won't boot. Tried Bios to set USB as 1st boot,and HDD as a 2nd option. It went to 2nd option,with GRUB2. So I hit "c" and "ls" showed only HD0 and HD1 (HD has 2 partitions,1st XP and 2nd Ubuntu 10] and no SD found. How can I fix this? Installation took for hours,would be nice to fix it without reinstalling it again
View 6 Replies View RelatedIs there a way to install KDE without the installation of kubuntu-desktop and the re-branding and changing of settings and themes that come with it? I would like to try KDE again, but don't want to see Kubuntu while I'm booting. Also, it seems that it adds a lot of bloat, being as I need a removal script to reverse the changes it makes.

I am trying to install Kubuntu but the computer won't start after installation is finished. I think it has something to do with the way Kubuntu names the hard drives which doesn't match the way Grub names them...being a noob I don't even know if that makes any sense, much less how to fix it. Here's what I know. I install Kubuntu to a 16MB SSD. That shows up as "sdc" during Kubuntu installation. I select "use whole disk". Installation goes thru, computer won't start
Now if I install Ubuntu to the same 16MB SSD, it shows up as "sda" during Ubuntu installation.Installation goes thru, Ubuntu boots perfectly.

want to ask how to install kde (not kubuntu-desktop) in ubuntu 9.10
View 6 Replies View RelatedI want to install Kde desktop on ubuntu 9.04, is there any way to do it from my kubuntu 9.04 live cd. Another question is that i recently find that many useful packages and many dependencies for it are available in a disk of my 64 studio. I am also able to install them just by clicking on that .deb files. But i find it difficult when i need to install dependencies since it take a long time to search and find it though they are available in the same disk. Is there any way to install it easily.I mean to install the packages and there dependencies from cd using some simple terminal command or something.
View 1 Replies View RelatedLong story short my roommate has been using KDE 4.4.2 for a few weeks and enjoying it, so I figured I would give it a shot when I saw this on the Kubuntu front page. I added ppa:kubuntu-ppa/backports to my software sources and asked kpackage kit to look for updates, it found a bunch, plus around 25 blocked updates. I figured they were blocked because they depended on some other update I was about to install. I told it to start updates and left it on its own for a while. About halfway through KDE crash handler popped up saying the network manager crashed, so I told it to restart, plugged into my wired connection, and continued updates. Once it finished, their were still 25 blocked updates to I figured a restart was in order. Once I restart I get to the log in screen, log in, and then I am prompted with this message by the KDE Crash Handler:

I am using Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx on my laptop.
I want to install the
kubuntu-desktop package.
Can I do this using the Kubuntu installation cd ?
Because my internet connection is very slow
I'm trying to get Kubuntu 10.04 (x64) installed and everything I do fails, hard. I don't have exact details at the moment since this is a process I've been slowly working on for the last couple weeks, but here's a quick rundown:
- Can boot into the Live CD environment fine. When attempting to install from there, the installer sees my drives incorrectly. If I remember correctly, it views my 2nd drive fine (of 3 identical drives), but it thinks my other two drives are part of a raid setup (they're not supposed to be). I could probably install on here, but I'm not about to risk my existing XP install to try.
- When I try to use wubi to install in Windows, it appears to setup the installation fine, but upon restarting it tells me that it cannot find the ubuntu.iso file and that my drive is probably dirty (run chkdsk). It still says this even after running chkdsk and restarting gracefully.
- I've run the "Check CD for defects" thing and it says the CD is okay. My memory seems to be fine as well.
- I've 3 identical Seagate 250gb SATA drives installed on a MSI k9a2 platinum board. These are not setup in any kind of RAID setup.
I am trying to install a proxy on my Kubuntu 10.10, since I live in a country that blocks access to almost everything. I tried to install squid, anon, socks.. both with command-line and KPackageKit, but every time, I have this error message:

- Reboot PC, boot from USB into Kubuntu, no problems.
- Configure WiFi connection.
- Reboot.
- Error: NTLDR is missing
I've tried this several times, always with the same result. As soon as I reboot, boot loader appears to be missing. I've read here:[URL].. that there are problems with syslinux and Ubuntu's version and wondered if this was the problem, but plenty of people appear to be running with this setup.
Does anyone have any ideas what may be the problem (and apologies if this has already been asked, I'm struggling to find anything pertinent.) For info, the pendrive I'm using has a small partition that acts as a floppy drive, could this have any influence?

View 1 Replies View RelatedCurrently i'm using a HP 6735b laptop. Everything is fine just one problem which is ATI driver. This one gave me:
1. Impossible to start up Kubuntu, they show welcome screen and stuck for century. LiveCD version of Kubuntu and KDE environment via Ubuntu is fine (since i already installed ATI driver).
2. Without ATI driver, whenever i unplug my A/C power the computer will be frozen. After installed driver everything will be fine.
What kind of problem is that, compatible with ATI or serious bug. Karmic Koala 9.10 is absolutely perfect.
Having successfully installed kubuntu 10.04 on my Powermac G5 I was wondering if I can install os x and dual boot, there are plenty of tutorials around but all of them involve installing kubuntu on a system with os x already installed. If there is any danger of damaging Kubuntu then I will leave it as I really don't want to go through the hell of getting it working properly again! Also I have plenty of hard drives kicking about - would it be safer/easier to install os x on it's own hard drive? And if so how would things work with yaboot?
