Ubuntu Installation :: Installer Not Finding Hard Drives?
Jan 21, 2010I am attempting to install on a HP ML110 box. It has 2 SATA drives installed. From the live cd I can do fdisk -l and see both drives, I can see both from GPated but during the actual install it doesn't see any drives in which to install.

Jun 29, 2010I have a tray-loading iMac G3 that, after installing Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala) using the alternate installation cd, will go to a blank screen after booting. I know there is a way to fix it so that the horizontal and vertical refresh rates are correct to display what I need, but once it boots to a blank screen, and i go ctrl-alt-f1, it prompts me for a user name and password. I am 100% sure that I am typing in both correctly as i set them during the alternate install process, as I've done it twice so far, and caps wasn't on and I typed and retyped them to make sure they were correct. No matter what I try (even username: root, password: root, or username: admin, password: admin) it says login incorrect.
I saw that you can check the current user names and reset passwords by going into recovery mode, which I read you can get into by pressing shift or esc on boot, but on separate runs i tapped each key all the way from turn-on to the blank screen and no such option to go into recovery mode came up. Also, I try booting from the Live Installation CD, and when it boots to the blank screen, and i type ctrl-alt-f1, it gives me a neverending shower of Authentification failure's (as in they keep appearing down the screen, I can't type anything because it becomes interrupted by more Authentication errors). I'm at the end of my chain here. Any help would be appreciated. Either by getting me into recovery mode to fiddle with the passwords, getting it so that it takes the user name and password I set to it, or figuring out why the Live CD machine-guns me with Identification errors.
Ubuntu Installation :: 9.10 Karmic Won't Install On IBM Intellistation 185 PowerPC
Feb 10, 2010I'm a big convert on using Ubuntu on my x86/x64 machines.I have a nice IBM Intellistation 185 Power PC (ppc) with dual 970 processors and 8gb of ram (and 3 SCSI 300 MB drives).I tried to install Ubuntu 9.10 on it (the PPC distro) and it gets to the boot prompt, asks me how I want to install (I can choose "live" or "install", etc..). No matter which option I choose (I've tried them all) it hangs after trying to start the kernel at "returning from prom_init".
NI've also tried other distros to see where that got me - Debian does the exact same thing as Ubuntu (which makes sense). Yellow Dog Linux actually will install and run fine(I'm writing this from Firefox 3 in YDL). Since YDL works, I'd think that a version of Debian/Ubuntu should be able to work.Any ideas on how to debug this and find out why Ubuntu won't install (or even run the Live CD?)

Debian Installation :: Installing Debian On IBook G4 / PowerPC
Jul 17, 2010I have downloaded Debian/PowerPC_lenny from http://www.debian.org/distrib/netinst. The netinst CD or the minimal CD for some reason doesn't boot. When I put it in the CD-ROM it doesn't begin whatever it has to do. Do I need to do anything? I restart my iBook G4 (1.33 GHz PowerPC G4) several times and held the "c" button (for CD-ROM) but nothing has happened. I wonder if someone can help me begin the installation process.
FYI, I have partitioned my hard drive into two volumes. I would like to install Debian in one of them. I *do not* want my Mac OS X to get disappeared in the Debian installation process. So please help me if you would as to how I can (1) boot Debian minimal CD and (2) install Debian on one of the two volumes I have on my iBook.

Ubuntu Installation :: Installer Does Not See Windows Installation?
May 3, 2010I have three physical drives:
Drive 0: Used for paging file in windows and general temp file storage
Drive 1: Media storage
Drive 2: Windows installation
When booting off the Ubuntu 10.04 disc and running the installer, it gets up to the partition step and doesn't find my Windows installation (for the automatic partitioning and such) and lists Drive 0 as the drive it will install to. I really want it to see my Windows install and create a partition on that same drive. Can anyone help me in getting the installer to see the Windows installation?

Ubuntu Installation :: Installer Says No Win OS Installed?
Aug 16, 2010I am attempting to install 32 bit ubuntu 10.04-i386.iso from boot on a Windows XP Pro standalone desktop PC. I have unused hard drive partitions available for the ubuntu installation. At one point the installation dialog box informs me that there is no OS installed on the PC, and the installation program does not correctly indicate the existing Windows hard drive partitions. At that point I abort the installation process.Can anyone advise me how to proceed from this point. I am an old MSoft OS user from way back - I started when DOS was all that there was. I am a complete novice however where Ubuntu is concerned.

Ubuntu Installation :: Installer Does Not See Any Partitions
Feb 14, 2011I try to install Ubuntu 10.10 on HP notebook G62 (Intel-i3, 64-bit). It have a 320GB hdd with my laptop which now consists of:
1) SYSTEM volume
2) (C: ) volume with windows 7
3) RECOVERY (D: ) volume
4) HP_TOOLS volume
1 to 4 are originally there. And now I shrink (C: ) by 50GB to get a unallocated space in which I decide to install ubuntu: First I try to shrink by Windows7 tools, but installer did not see unallocated space (but shows list of my volumes). Then I install Acronis disk director and made 50GB unallocated space by Acronis. After this Ubuntu installer does not see any volumes on my HDD Windows7 boots had works normally. I try to restore ALL from image by HP TOOLS but without result - installer doesn't see any volumes. I try boot from CD, remove dmraid and all raid package and try run installer - no result.
Ubuntu Installation :: Can't Get Installer Working From USB
Feb 24, 2011I'm trying to install ubuntu 10.10 onto my desktop via usb. Depending on the tool I use to put the image on the USB drive, I get the following outcomes:
Universal USB Installer
whatever the default in results in no signal after the kernel has done it's work (i.e when the graphics kick in)
"Install Ubuntu to Hard Drive" results in a quick flash of graphical garbage, then an 'incomplete' gnome desktop; the wallpaper is there, a blank menubar with some of the top-right icons (like power etc.) but nothing else. Mouse moves but left, right click and keyboard does nothing. Can't move to the different terminals either.
UNetbootin One option is a blank screen, another results in graphical garbage which appears to be whatever was left in video ram? There was a cool collage effect of my windows logoff screen cursor is fully formed and moves, but that's all.
This isn't limited to Ubuntu 10.10; Fedora 14 has the same problem, but I can boot into basic video and get a desktop. Obviously, I don't want Fedora
I'm assuming my problems are the result of the nouveau video drivers, so my question is this; how do I get ubuntu to use an okay (preferably not basic vesa) graphics driver so I can install? And if I can do this, will enabling nouveau again (a newer version hopefully) cause my problems to continue?

Ubuntu Installation :: PAE Not Configured By Installer?
Jul 1, 2011I just did an 11.04 install onto a thinkpad w520 with 16 GB RAM. free - m shows 3.5GB (as does top)
browsing help/forums it seems the 11.04 installer should have detected my RAM and installed the proper kernel.
everything functionally seems great, just missing most of my RAM. I went with 32 bit ubuntu because most people (including canonical on their download page), recommend it. I may move to 64 bit, but would like to solve this for 32 bit first.

Ubuntu / Apple :: Get The Eclipse IDE To Work On Powerpc?
Mar 7, 2011how to get the Eclipse IDE to work on powerpc? I have Ubuntu 10.10 installed on an eMac G4 1.25, and installed eclipse CDT from the repos, which pulled in a ton of stuff with it. Starting eclipse results in nothing but the initial splash screen. A process called Java takes the top spot in the task list and sits there burning up CPU to max it out at 100%. It appears stuck there for good. It is a pretty virgin system except for the automatic updates. It was just installed yesterday.

If so, how is this done? (I do have Daemon Tools.)
View 2 Replies View RelatedUbuntu Installation :: Installer Crashed With No Log File?
Jan 9, 2010i have new HP notebook with preinstalled windows and i'd like to have ubuntu too. But it's rather difficult. Long story:
First I wanted dual boot, Ubuntu on separate partition, but then I discovered that I have four primary partitions for windows. SYSTEM (I think nessesary for windows boot) c: (where windows is installed) RECOVERY (for restoring factory settings) HP_TOOLS (needed for right function of HP BIOS)
ok, what now? Windows partition tool let me create dynamic partition (not extended) but ubuntu partition tool can see only four partitions.
Then the wubi idea came. If I can't have dual boot wubi can be solution. But it failed too. Behavior is similar to
[URL]
that is installer say "extracting kernel" and few seconds later just close. Sadly I can't find log file (searching filesystem for word wubi and searching directory c:/users/hater/appdata/local/temp) to discover what's the problem.
Ubuntu Installation :: 9.10 Installer & Partitioner Not Seeing Harddisk?
Jan 27, 2010I have a single SATA hard drive, not raided, with an XP partition on it. /dev/sda. I've already created an 18GB ext4 partition for Ubuntu and 2gb swap partition as well. For some ridiculous reason the Ubuntu 9.10 isn't even showing /dev/sda as an option to install to!
fdisk -l clearly shows /dev/sda there, and i gparted /dev/sda works like a charm. So why is the installer being so silly and not even allowing me to select it? And I can't go back and choose manual mode or anything, the installer jumps right from Timezone Settins into this partitioner screen. Here is a screenshot of fdisk -l clearly seeing the drive fine, yet the installer not showing it at all. This is one of the things that drives people away from Linux.. It never TELLS you what the problem is
Ubuntu Installation :: 9.10 Installer Fails On Partitioning?
Feb 7, 2010Whenever I try to install Ubuntu 9.10 x64 from a Live CD the installer freezes or quits when trying to partition the drive. I tried booting into the Live environment and using GParted but that would only let me make a ReiserFS partition without crashing. With the Reiser partition I tried the installation program again but this time the installer froze when trying to install the files.
My system specs are:
AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+ (3.0GHz)
4GB RAM
500GB SATA2 HDD
ATI Radeon HD 4770
Currently it also has a second SATA2 HDD with Windows 7 installed but I disconnect this during installations
Ubuntu Installation :: Boot ARM .img Installer In QEMU?
Feb 8, 2010The Karmic installers for ARM CPUs are .img files that are meant to be written directly to Flash media, rather than .iso files that are meant to be burned to CD.
I'd like to run the ARM port of Karmic under the QEMU hardware emulator. This should be possible, because the .img files are sector-for-sector images of a hard disk drive. But when I try, I get a panic because the kernel can't mount the root filesystem.
I think the problem is that hard drives are provided by QEMU by emulating an IDE controller, whereas the ARM .image files are meant to be run from a USB stick. Those are accessed via SCSI rather than IDE.
Perhaps my problem is that the kernel I'm using with QEMU doesn't contain an IDE controller. It appears that QEMU doesn't provide a SCSI emulation, just IDE. An alternative would be to convert the .img installer file to a bootable CD-ROM image. Is there a way I can do that? Here is my command line:
Code:
$ qemu-system-arm -M versatilepb -kernel ~/Documents/Kernels/ARM/vmlinuz-2.6.28-versatile -hda ubuntu-9.10-desktop-armel+dove.img -m 256M -append "root=/dev/sda1 rw"
It doesn't work to say "root=/dev/hda1 rw" - it still can't find the root filesystem.
Ubuntu Installation :: Installer Package Does Not Contain JDK Documentation
Feb 26, 2010When I try to install something VIA Software center, there's always something else installing first. So, I chose the obvious thing, and ran sudo dpkg --configure -a. Here's what it fed me
Code:
joshua@joshua-laptop:~$ sudo dpkg --configure -a
[sudo] password for joshua:
Setting up sun-java6-doc (6-15-1) ...
This package is an installer package, it does not actually contain the JDK documentation. You will need to go download one of the archives:
jdk-6u10-docs.zip jdk-6u10-docs-ja.zip
(choose the non-update version if this is the first installation).
Please visit [URL] now and download. The file should be owned by root.root and be copied
to /tmp. [Press RETURN to try again, 'no' + RETURN to abort]. I went to the website and couldn't find either file.
Ubuntu Installation :: Windows 7 Installer Does Not Loading
Mar 21, 2010I use to have vista and ubuntu on my PC. Yesterday accidentally I created a new partition "table" the point is that I erased all my partitions on "MyDisk". After a while I decided to re-install ubuntu ( 9.10 karmic koala ) and take advantage of the situation and upgrade to Windows7. Since I already had the ubuntu cd, I installed it first, then downloaded the Win7 cd to install it. The problem is that Windows7 installer doesn't load.
All I get is:
<<BLACK SCREEN>>
Grub loading.
<<BLACK SCREEN>>
underscore
Ubuntu logo
ubuntu login
So I don't know whats wrong. Right now my disk looks like this:
MyDisk >
MyDisk1 ntfs ( For windows 7 )
MyDisk2 > extended (using linux with 2 more partitions: ext4 and linux-swap)
