I'm in the process of installing UNR 9.04 on my machine, I already have Ubuntu 8.04 installed. I plan to replace the OS, will using the option during the installation 'use entire disk' delete my existing files?
View 3 RepliesI'm thinking of installing Ubuntu, but before I do that I'd like to know if installing it removes your copy of Windows. If it does, is there any way I can work around that?

I have a Windows 7 installation with a boot partition on the RAID. I also want to have a dual boot with openSUSE 11.2 but I don't know how to set correctly my partitions. I have some unallocated space next to the Windows C: partition. When I try to install openSUSE it makes a suggestion to create some partitions that i don't need and don't want, and even doesn't mount them. It also creates a / 80GB, /boot 36MB, swap 2GB and /home 20GB partitions, so I am in lack of free space.
I don't know how to create screenshots during installation. Maybe I'll try to reinstall later and pick some screens in english, because my system language is bulgarian.

NOTE: THIS IS A MODIFIED VERSION OF A TUTORIAL FOUNDHERE. I AM NOT RESONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE DONE TO YOUR PS3These instructions were only tested on a 40GB ps3 phat running firmware 3.15 NOT connected to the internet and I can personally confirm this works There are more accurate guides available for those who want to install 7.10 or 8.04. Following this guide will probably be fine, but for more details follow those links!Guide to installing Ubuntu 10.04 on the PS3 Many people installing Ubuntu 10.04 on there PS3 have been encountering mounting problems where after a successful installation of Ubuntu, the system boots up only to detect no drives with linux installed.
The PS3 has a unique feature that allows you to install a third-party operating system on the console. Because of its popularity and ease of use, Ubuntu Linux is a good choice. By installing Ubuntu, your PlayStation 3 becomes much more than just a game console. You can use it as a home computer (running desktop applications), a web- or file server, play media files, and run applications like Firefox, Open office and multimedia tools.
Installing Ubuntu 10.04 on the PS3 will take several hours (3-4 for me). The process involves three steps:
Formatting PS3 to run Linux
Installing Ubuntu
Setting up your PS Ubuntu installation
Set up your PS3 to run Linux You have to format your PS3 hard drive to install Ubuntu. You will probably want to back up your save games! You will also need to let go of some 10GB of disk space.

I have installed Windows 7 on one drive (300gb). I have another 300gb drive available on which I want to install ubuntu 9.10.
There are many dual boot things on google but I can't figure out which would work for me. Some say they work for 9.04 but not for 9.10.
Should I unplug the Win drive, and then install Ubuntu? If I do so I am not sure I can deal with the Grub thing.
Today I downloaded the newest version of ubuntu. We have got two laptops, one with vista, one with windows7. Ubuntu did properly install only with Vista. What can I do with the Windows7-one?

View 1 Replies View RelatedWhen I bought my computer from a friend, he told me that it had 60Gbs in it. Well, when I began to install Ubuntu Linx 9.10 I came to the point of decission of whether or not to delete Windows XP or run Ubuntu 9.10 along with Windows XP. I had a decision to make and I honestly thought I had enough free space to run both. I kept on having problems bringing up Ubuntu. It would go so far and then it would freeze. Well I updated GNOME and I was able to login and try a few things. I of course downloaded and installed the program that I needed to run the program that was running my online radio station. I also downloaded a scanner for to check virusus. I then tried to download some other softwear but I deleted them and kept the scanner and the other program that plays my radio station. Since I did that I logged out and shut down the computer. I haven't been able to get to the point to where I can login again. It freezes. How can I add more memory of free space to run Ubutu. If there is no way of doing that how can I delete Ubuntu and start all over again so that I can again install Ubuntu Linux 9.10 and take off Windows XP so I can run Ubuntu. I really do like the Ubuntu's system. It is so very quick bringing up websites. I have a 32bit download on the CD. I found out the computer was only 16Gbs.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI installed Ubuntu 9.10 & grub2 on a Toshiba sattellite laptop last night:
- Win XP shows up in the Grub2 menu.
- When I boot Win XP, it says autock program not found, skipping autocheck, then Win XP stops booting.
- I did a little digging on the net, & found I have to unhide the NTFS partition for Win XP (hd0,1)
- Grub2 doesn't have an unhide command.
- I tried to run parttool, & got the "command not found".
Sometime ago I got Apache2 working. I also did my best to enable it for SSL, but failed. I'd like to give that another go. I have OpenSSL installed and all (or so Karmic reports). But port 443 gives an error when I try to connect.

View 7 Replies View RelatedOne was a desktop Pentium 4 single core 1.8GHz with 244.5 MiB Ram and a 17.7 GB hard drive with a keyboard and mouse. The other was a Dell Inspiron 6000 laptop. The laptop did not have a power supply so I order one off ebay for 10 bucks. I bought both computers for 25 cents each. That's right 25 cents. The mouse was worth that much. Well I installed Ubuntu 10.04 on the desktop and that is what I am using right now. It runs a little slow, but it works great so far. I plan on installing 10.04 on the laptop when I get the power supply. I may boast the memory up on the desktop and give it to some needy person in my area.
One point I wanted to make on 10.4, I have a Dell Inspiron 1521 which I have 9.04 on. I had a hard time getting it to run because of video and wireless problems. I tried to run 10.4 on it, and it still has the same issues. Does not like my wireless card and my Hanns-G 22 inch monitor flicker and I can't fix it with the refresh rate. But when I used this monitor on the desktop it works just great, so I think it is a graphic card issue. I don't think the Dell Inspiron 1521 and Ubuntu like each other. I hope I can get Ubuntu installed on the Dell Inspiron 6000. I was just wondering if anyone has it installed on one, and if the install went well?n closing I just want to say Ubuntu has come a long way, but it would be nice to see it run on my 1521 laptop with out so many issues. I wanted to update to 10.4, but I don't want to do it and find I have problems.
currently my partitions are as thus: / is linux mint /home is a separate partion and I have a 12gb swap. How does one go about installing another linux over the old one with my setup. Do i just format / and leave /home

View 1 Replies View RelatedI used Truecrypt in Windows and it worked pretty well. I tried to install the program on Ubuntu but got some problem. Here is what I did and the problems I got:
1. I downloaded the standard 32-bit tag.gz file from [URL]
2. Extract the file onto desktop
3. Installed by double clicking and run in terminal or directly run in terminal (I assume they are equal)
4. Follow the instructions till 'Press Enter to exit'.
For me it seems that the program is installed successfully, and the icon shows up in the Application- Accessories menu. However, it doesn't respond at all when I click the icon. For most of the software I used in Windows, I have already found equivalents that are working fine. And I really don't want to go back to Windows because this program.
I download wubi from [url] and when i install there is error. looks like this.
