I have a small problem, I have origional C&C Generals CD, and now i wanted to instal it on Ubuntu, and i started Instal form CD, with Wine, but when Instal is at 50% it calls for CD2, i insert it, and no reaction, i push retry, retry, retry, nothing... keeps doing Nothing...
its Windows install, and he cant find CD-ROM in Ubuntu...
But what I need to do?
I <3 Ubuntu .
I have installed Debian maybe 30 times over the years since about 2003, stable, testing and Sid on two different desktops and two different laptops. The only problem I have ever had is sometimes with a flaky daily build. It is one of my favorite distros.
BUT, I am totally frustrated is trying to install to a USB. I have followed the manual step by step about 6 times in the past two weeks. The result is always the same. The installation fails to find an installation iso image. Yes, I know the iso image and the hd-media vmlinuz and initrd.gz files are supposed to be the same version.
File: debian-testing-i386-netinst.iso from: [url]
Files: vmlinuz and initrd.gz from: [url]
The USB boots to a Language selection screen and proceeds through the Keyboard selection screen with no problems.
The next step which searches for an installation iso image fails.
Skipping that step and trying to load installer components from iso image also fails.
Searching the entire PC for an installation iso image also fails. (I even copied the netinst iso image to the HD root directory.)
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.
I had been using ubuntu for quite a while.But alas , I had to switch to WinXp when I started learning VS using its IDE.I installed Windows over Ubuntu wiping its grub.I hoped I will repair grub when I would need to.Now when I boot from Live CD to install grub it can't find the installation present.Moreover,when I try to make a fresh installation it can't find any Operating System in the HDD and asks to format WHOLE.. hard disk to make partition table and continue installation.

"Following Generic Textbooks
Many of the tutorials, examples, and textbooks about Linux kernel development assume the kernel sources are installed under the /usr/src/linux/ directory. If you make a symbolic link, as shown below, you should be able to use those learning materials with the Fedora packages. Install the appropriate kernel sources, as shown earlier, and then run the following command:
Where is my kernel source located which i can modify. I cant find anything in usr/src/kernels? Why?
Looked around for a little while today, and I can't seem to find a .iso for a DVD (instead of a CD). I'm leery of any .iso torrents, so that's a pass for me.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI have two Sata 3 drives C and D, I have window 7 on C. I am trying to install Ubuntu and duel-boot My problem is when I load into the live disk the file system can only find the 1.8 gigs left on the live CD. If i run the installer it says no root file system is defined please correct this in the partitioning menu.
The problem is that the menu is completely empty. If I load Gparted in the live CD then it shows nothing at all except a message that says something like no device detected. Obviously the problem is that the installer can't find any were to put Ubuntu. Could windows 7 possibly be the problem?
My master hard-disk has crashed. However both my operating systems were installed on other disks.But my computer is not able to find any OS because Grub must have been on the old master IDE hard-disk rather than the new SATA one on which Ubuntu 10.04 was installed.Now, I want to regenerate my Grub file so that my system an use the already installed Ubuntu 10.04.

View 1 Replies View RelatedMy primary OS (Windows 7) which I had installed before ubuntu is not in the Grub Menu and I can't figure out how to boot it up. (It's not in menu.lst either)
I just installed ubuntu, I partitioned it by shrinking my window 7 partition (in windows) and formatted the free space for ubuntu. I can see the windows file system and access the files (143 GB Filesystem in Places) but I can't boot to it
Here is my problem. Grub2 outputs error: unknown filesystem. Then when i use "ls" command it outputs this:
(hd0), (hd0,4), (hd0,2), (hd1) and when i "ls (hd0,4)/ or any of them it says: error: no such disk
So, heres my story. I dual boot vista and ubuntu from my main 320GB hdd. Today i tried to fresh install 9.10 on a different external hdd. The 500GB hard drive already had two partitions, a 30GB Fat32 and the rest NTFS. both of these partitions had about 17GB used on them. I installed off a cd and i shrunk the NTFS to allow for more partitions. I made a 4gb swap as logical at the end then a primary ext4 / partition in front of it. The drives are Fat32 sdg0, ntfs sdg1, then an sdg3 (which im confused about and says is extension), and sdg4 (with linux) and sdg5 (swap). When finished with the partitions it asked me to select where to mount the ntfs and i said /windows. When i tried to boot up it did not recognize my external apparently because it was plugged in via firewire. I switched to usb and it booted but then i got the error message in grub. Also, when i switched from firewire to usb the drive changed from sdb to sdg. How do i fix this problem? Will reinstalling ubuntu fix this? Is there an easier way? I tried reinstalling grub but it did not work.
I have a MythBuntu system running 9.10 and as many others I am having issues with my wireless card controlled by ndiswrapper (networks are detected but it is unable to obtain an IP address most of the time, once in a while it connects, it also has the "invalid cmd 12" issue which fix is described here).
So I found this thread here (see post #30 on the bottom) and I'd like try upgrading the kernel to a version which Synaptics apparently doesn't offer. So my question is basically threefold. Where do I find/download the kernel (is there a way to use apt get ...) What method do I use to install it (I've found several directions on how to compile it, if someone could point to the most complete ones, I would appreciate it. If for some reason something goes wrong and I need to downgrade again, how do I do that (Synaptics?).BTW, I can hook it up to the network through ethernet and ssh into it from my Mac Mini to work on it.
I had xp, added win7, and now added kubuntu.But can't choose the OS to load on grub.Can't find a fix through the posted threads, can you guide me to solving the problem?

View 2 Replies View Relatedfor the past 3 days i have tried everything i can find on the internet to get ubuntu to work. I am running a brand new Hp Dv4 laptop. I have downloaded, and installed Ubuntu. When i go to boot it, it takes me to a page where it says it needs to finish the install, and counts down from 5. If you let it complete that, it will go to a black page and sit there forever. Push ctrl + alt + del, and it will take you back to the page where you can choose Windows 7 or Ubuntu.
Go back to ubuntu, this time when it counts down i push Esc, and i have several choices. I have tried them all with the same results, except Demo mode. In demo mode, i get a black screen, and the sound of drums. But it still just sits there. I have tried doing ctrl +alt + f1 in each of the different modes, nothing. Just a black screen.
I just switched my old computer from Windows ME to the lastest Ubuntu. It's working fine, except...

View 2 Replies View RelatedI swear Ubuntu's download pages are getting harder and harder to find things in.I help with a local LUG that holds a Clinic for Linux newbies. One of my tasks is to maintain all the latest popular distros and all the versions thereof. usually recommend Ubuntu to newcomers, but people bring all kinds of computers, many of which need Lubuntu or Xubuntu, yet others want Kubuntu, and on and on. I need all the flavors of Ubuntu.I prefer to download by torrent because it is faster with my connection. I found a page with torrents for 10.04 and 10.10 for Ubuntu desktop, alternate and server, but I'll be darned if I can find torrents for Netbook, Kubuntu, Lubuntu, Xubuntu and others.
