OpenSUSE Install :: Should There Be Option To Download ISO Option For CD Installation

Jul 18, 2010

when I go to download 11.3 I am presented with the installation medium for a DVD installation with a button that says download DVD. Should there be an option to download an ISO option for a CD installation on this page along with the DVD version? Some of our older machines can only read CD's with a max size of 500+ megs.

Ubuntu Installation :: No Partitions Listed During 9.10 Install

Feb 24, 2010

I'm trying to install Ubuntu 9.10 on a Asus P5KPL-VM mainboard. However the installation doesn't recognize my partitions. If I just boot Ubuntu the partitions are recognized with GParted and by just mounting them and browsing in file explorer. I'm using a SATA disk. I've tried boot option pci=nommconf irqpoll as found in this thread [URL] with no success.

Ubuntu Installation :: Safe Mode Are Listed Twice ?

Jul 2, 2010

When I first started to install Ubuntu to my system, I got an error that told me Ubuntu was not successfully installed, so I restarted my computer and tried again. That time it works, and I'm thoroughly enjoying the OS. I noticed that when I start up my computer and I have the OS boot list, Ubuntu and Ubuntu safe mode are listed twice. How do I remove the 2nd one, and is it still installed on my other partition even though it said failed?

Ubuntu :: 10.04 Not Listed In Grub2 After Windows Installation

Jul 22, 2011

i was dual booting windows 7 and ubuntu 10.04 with grub2 as the boot loader then I had to reinstall windows because of some issues, during the installation I had to DELETE the partition windows was installed on then create a new one, this was the ONLY Primary partition in the hd and it was the partition grub2 installed on.

After the installation finished, i loaded an ubuntu live cd and reinstalled grub2 using the graphical tool "boot-repair", it worked and windows 7 appears on the list but ubuntu does not!. I tried sudo update-grub2 (found a tutorial to make this command work in Live CD) but the problem still exists. I also tried booting using the command line (set root=(hd0,1)....etc) but it doesn't work, windows boots when the value is set to 1 but when I try 2 I get an error.

Is there a way to verify that the ubuntu installation is still working and how can I make it appear on grub2 if it's still working. As I said the deleted windows partition was the only Primary partition and the / & /boot & /home & swap were all logical, do I need to set / partition to be Primary in the installation?

part of fdisk -l:

Code:

Disk /dev/sda: 80.0 GB, 80026361856 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 9729 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

Ubuntu Installation :: Dual Boot Option Doesn't Appear In Installation / Solve This?

Dec 30, 2010

I have a MSI a6000 Laptop (that has given me a lot of problems installing Ubuntu.

I finally had to run Ubuntu from a CD in nomodeset

Then when I go to install Ubuntu the only options it gives (regarding my harddrive) are to format my whole hardrive or do the partitioning. I have seen screenshots though where there is a third option on the same page to install ubuntu alongside a prior OS and dual boot.

Does anyone know why the "install alongside a prior OS (dual boot)" option doesn't show up?

Ubuntu Installation :: No Option For Dual Boot Partition During 10.04 Installation?

Jun 7, 2010

I am trying to install Ubuntu 10.04 LTS on a Windows XP Media Centre Edition system.On the Step 4 of the installation which usually gives you the option to partition the disk but it only gives me the option to Erase the entire disk or specify partition manually, although this also doesn't allow anything other than totally erasing the disk. I'd ideally like to keep my Windows and I have installed Ubuntu before (but 9.10) on a different system.

Ubuntu Installation :: Extra OS Listed In Grub Menu?

Jun 25, 2010

I have a extra OS listed in my grub menu. I'm dual booting Ubuntu 10.04 and Windows 7. I am able to boot into both Ubuntu and Windows. 30_os-prober has two menu entries for Windows though. The first one is Windows 7 (loader) (on /dev/sda1) and the second is Windows Vista (loader) (on /dev/sda2). My laptop came with Windows 7 and had 4 primary partitions (System, Windows, Recovery, HP_TOOLS). After making my recovery disks I removed the Recovery partition and shrunk the Windows partition to make space for Ubuntu. So Windows 7 (loader) (on /dev/sda1) is the System partition which I select to boot Windows. Windows Vista (loader) (on /dev/sda2) is where my Windows 7 is installed. Here is output from Boot Info Script:

Code:

Ubuntu Installation :: Kubuntu 11.04 Installation: No LVM Partition Option?

Sep 1, 2011

I am coming from the Fedora world where everything is on one DVD and you just install it. I tried to install Kubuntu 11.04 using LVM, and I selected manual partitioning setup during the install, but there is no option for setting up LVM. Am I using the wrong version, i.e. it only works with the server edition? I saw somewhere that it may magically become available in expert mode...Is that true? Somewhere else it recommends using the alternate CD?Also, maybe I am attacking this the wrong way. I want to set up a server with KDE, so what is the best method:1) Install plain ubuntu, then add KDE + any server programs.2) Install Kubuntu, then add any server programs.

Ubuntu Installation :: Md5sum: WARNING: 1 Of 62 Listed Files Couldn't Be Read

Oct 17, 2010

In order to upgrade a machine that can not successfully upgrade to 10.4 I downloaded and burned the 10.04.1 iso image off the ubuntu alternate download site. In my first attempt I unsuccessfully burned the image with it failing at the very end. I did perform an md5sum on it and received the precise output I got from my second burn attenpt which DID complete successfully. Here is the output:

[code]...

I did research this last night and it seems the common wisdom was to reburn the iso (which I did twice) or copy down the iso again. This I also did and it came down precisely, bit for bit, the same as the first one. Here are the two cksums

[code]...

Is there something wrong with this image on the website or is the error about 1 file being unreadable (could that also mean missing?) be erroneous?

I burned the cd's with roxio creator de. Then I go to the other computer and start the installation and at the beginning there is an option to test the cd's before installation proceeds. All cd's tests fail. So I would like to be sure: Have I been buying bad cd's? Note: I have tried 15 cd's, all failed.

Ubuntu Installation :: BIOS Does Not Have USB Boot Option

Jun 9, 2010

I was wondering to restore on old laptop to working order. This laptop is an old early 2000's Sony Viao, which I found in the trash. Still powers on, and can boot the latest Ubuntu LiveCD. The issue is that it did not have a harddrive in it, and I really do not want to shell out money for a drive for a laptop this old, but would still like to bring it back into service as a thin client or general purpose web/email terminal. The BIOS does NOT have a USB boot option, and every tutorial I have seen requires that in order to boot Ubuntu from a USB stick (which is what I do have). What I am wondering is, is there any way to just keep the LiveCD in the drive and use that to boot the kernel, etc, and then have it look for the rest of the filesystem on the USB stick?
