Jan 22, 2011
I want to install ubuntu 10.10 on a desktop that will use my tv as a screen, the problem is that during installation I can not see the entire screen, the parts where I click to go to the next screen is not visible.I dont have a normal desktop screen, I use a laptop
I have tried changing the vga ratio on my tv but it dont make a difference.The only way to fix is is from ubuntu itself once its installedI read I can use a text based installer called Alternative installer.my question is : once its installed is there any difference between the normal installer and the alternative ?

Is it possible to convert Ubuntu 11.04 i386 iso to an alternate iso by any means?? Not that I have bandwidth restrictions, just our ISP doesn't want us to use over a certain amount.. Weirdest uncapped ever right.. So can I convert the normal iso to an alternate iso??

I installed lucid using wubi to dual boot with vista - I'm just wondering if there's any advantage to be gained into going back into vista, un installing lucid, making the necessary partitions and reinstalling lucid 'properly'.I use both OSs on a laptop so the power issue regarding fs vulnerability isn't that much of a concern.

I`m new to Fedora (but not to Linux generally) and maybe I made some kind of mistake. I`m not quite sure what logical volumes are and I was a little bit scared to use them. I tried to disable logical volumes and put Fedora on my "classical" volumes (partitions) but they looked quite different from what I expected.

What is the difference between the Ubuntu Installer for windows and the Ubuntu CD image? If I use the ubuntu installer for windows, does it have the capability to partition my drive, will it enable to share files with windows etc or is it just a way not to have to burn a CD. Just curious, the exact details of the installation files were not made clear on the website. Note: Windows Version: XP, 32bit, SP3. I have not partitioned anything yet.

I don't understand the difference between installing via the Ubuntu Desktop Edition Windows installer and Live CD. I have an x64 system and I'm switching over from Fedora 14, so I'm specifically looking for whatever will make it easiest for me to neatly clear out the Fedora partition during installation.

What is the real difference between system calls and normal function calls. Ultimately function calls too would be passed to kernel for some or the other work.

Is there any difference in cpu usage for process in init.rc(runs automatic when boot is happened) and manually running process. Will these both have same priority by default...?

AFAIK Fedora comes from Red Hat (as well as CentOS).Ok, CentOS is intended to be the long life stable enterprise OS.
But what is the diff between Fedora and "normal" Red Hat Linux?
Is there maybe a fourth Linux of Red Hat?

I have an installation of Ubuntu 9.04 on a standalone workstation. I need to download all of the packages for the normal installation and updates.Does anyone know where I can pull the complete package sets rather than individual packages rather than one at a time?

I keep hearing about this "alternative installation CD" so that I can encrypt my hard drive. But I can never seem to find it. I would like to use it and do a new install with an encrypted HD. Also, know I can google it, but I was hoping someone could point me to a how to on encrypting grub.
I would like to ask your thoughts of the security of a computer that has the bios password protected, grub password protected and the HD encrypted. I know it all seems excessive unless you are afraid of people who have physical access to your computer, which I am. I also know physical access = root access and that given physical access there is no way to secure the computer, however that does not mean I should not make it harder and more time consuming for the evil maid.

I tried to install 64bit 10.04 Release Candidate but it fails every time. I have been using 64bit 9.10 Karmic on this computer so it's suitable for installation.
I tried to install from USB stick and from CD but same error at the same point! It fails just befere it starts to ask your locations etc...
There must be something totally wrong on installer. Checksums are ok etc...
Errors seen with CD and USB stick installation: Pop up: "Istalltion failed The installer encountered an unrecoverable error. A desktop session will now be run so that you may investigate the problem or try installing again."
On command line I can see following error message on CD:
These errors with USB stick:

Currently I've got Windows XP and Ubuntu 8.04 (I believe) on my laptop, with two separate partitions.I want to format the laptop and only have Ubuntu 10.04 installed on there, but since the CD drive is broken, I've just been trying to do it from USB. There must be something wrong with my laptop/booting from USB, because I've tried two different programs used to create Live USB installations (UNetbootin and Universal-USB-Installer). Both of them load the menu, let me select to install or run the Live CD, but neither of them get past the purple-ish Ubuntu loading screen. The screen just goes black (But stays lit), and nothing else happens.
So I'm wondering if there is different, easy-ish method for installing Ubuntu 10.04 to this laptop. It's got a working network adapter,

I'm trying to install Ubuntu 10.04 - I want it to sit on another partition along with my Windows XP installation. I don't have a blank CD handy, so I opted for the USB installation option.
I followed the very clear instructions for doing this from the Ubuntu download page [URl].. my PC skips straight over the USB drive and continues to boot into Windows XP. I tried an alternative bootable USB creator (unetbootin-windows-471.exe), but it has the same result.
I have verified that the flash drive is at the top of the boot list - I can also see the name of my flash drive flash past seconds before it boots into Windows, so the PC knows its there. I have also booted into a Live version of Linux using the same PC and pen drive before, so I know booting from it is possible - I suspect the ISO is bad? Or perhaps I'm missing something completely. I tried alternative USB ports too.

I am currently installing the Ubuntu 10.04 Alternative, as I am having problem with video card. What I know is that I need to edit the Grub file in /etc/default/grub and add i915.modeset=1 for my video card. What I don't know is how to do that in the command line, what application should I use and how to save it? Also, if everything works well, I want to boot to gnome automatically. What I am looking for is a step by step instructions (as I can get lost).

I'm looking to run a dual boot on this laptop. I have Win7 currently installed, and I have my hard drive partitioned and ready to go for an Ubuntu install. I've downloaded the i386 CD from the website, burned it successfully. I rebooted with the disc in, and when I select install to hard drive, it shows a blinking cursor below the install screen and hangs there. I installed the ISO to a bootable USB drive and tried to install it that way, same thing. I even tried downloaded one of the alternative CDs and installing it both ways. Same problem. Ive installed Ubuntu on this laptop before and it's ran successfully. I believe it was 9.04.

Right now my HDD says 10,7GB from 38,3GB is free. However, only 17,7 is in use. The other 10 is on a Ubuntu partition. How can I get it back on the normal disk?

The instaler doesnt find my partitions and the XP that is installed too! For some reasons i cannot delete the whole hdd... if i format the partition, where (i want to install ubuntu) with fat, the pc crashes during the installing process after the tastaturlayout question! if i try some other formats, the installer tells me, that there are no Operating Systems installed and the hdd is unpartitioned!
if i start ubuntu live from the cd, the system finds all partitions, but if i run cfdisk in a terminal, i get a fatal error (cannot open disk space)... My machine is a acer aspire 1694 WLMi (pretty old, but should be no problem), bios is up to date, Windows is XP home edition with SP3.

When I boot from the CD I don't get the normal choices to install. The only 2 choices I get are;
"Try Ubuntu without any change to your computer" and
"Live-Install"
I click on Live-install, and I get a boot loader box that has live-install in it and a OK click box i click ok and nothing happens.

I have recently installed Netbook Remix 10.04 on my MSi Wind u100, and so it dual-boots XP, as well as Netbook Remix. I'm not a huge fan of netbook remix, and I find it really doesn't add a whole lot to my netbook experience. I was quite surprised when setting up evolution and empathy to find a number of the windows didn't fit on my 1024x600 screen.As such I would like to put normal Ubuntu 10.04 onto my netbook. What would be the easiest way to do it? Should I just install it from a LiveCD, or is there a better way?

I've installed UNR 10.04 on an old UMPC. Graphics are a total mess, even console text doesn't display properly. All I get is a bunch of pixels, smeared across the screen. I'd blame KMS, but that's only supposed to affect X. Anyway, according to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/KernelModeSetting/, "KMS is enabled by default for the -intel, -ati, and -nouveau drivers. It is not available for any other drivers". Mine isn't any of those, so KMS shouldn't be enabled at all. I've found that failsafeX in a recovery console works OK. My question is, how can I get UNR 10.4 to default to failsafeX in normal mode?
