I am not able to finish the last step in the installation of Ubuntu 10.10. It asks me to fill in "Who are you?" information, but the forward button is not activated and I am not able to click it. I have tried to burn a new image cd and try again but I get the same error. My computer is an Acer Aspire 5220. I attach a picture of the screen.

I've installed previous Ubuntu and other linux distros in the past, so I have a fair idea what I'm doing.
I downloaded the official Ubuntu 10.10 ISO from Canononical, burned to CD and booted from that.
I chose to install, using an existing swap partition, and a freshly formatted (ext4) partition, with mount point "/" as root.
The installation runs fine up to where I enter my User, Computer and Login details.
The forward button to continue, remains greyed out, even tho the copying of files finishes and says down the bottom that I'm ready to go.
At this point, I can't exit, log out, or do a proper restart.
Only a forced reset of the computer gets me out of the installation.
No files get installed on the partition, but the MBR does get written to.
And obviously I get an error trying to boot to it.
I've tried this same procedure 3 times now, with exactly the same result each time.
i guess it is because my USB mouse. after unplug it. the installer works well. i am not sure how can i use my USB mouse after i finish it.

I just installed Ubuntu 9.04 again on my PC after a long time. Everything was working fine. No problems at all. After running all the necessary updates, I wanted to install Adobe Flash. This I did by going to Adobe's site. I selected the APT version for 9.04+. It was installing fine UNTIL there was a power cut. Since then I have been trying out various methods of repair suggested in these forums. But again and again get the same message:Quote:

I am unable to change the installation location for the boot loader when installing Fedora 12 in the graphical installation mode. The 'Change device' button does nothing when I click on it during installation. I'd like to install the boot loader on my /boot partition. Is there some kind of bug that is preventing me from doing this?I am trying to install from the Fedora 12 386 DVD.

The iso I burned to CD is good (works on 2 other computers). His computer will not boot from USB, no matter what I do to the drive order in BIOS. After loading the blue screen with the Kubuntu logo on it (and the blue-white dots), the screen changes to black and shows the following text:

I can't install filezilla. I've searched and written the line (sorry can't emember what it was exactly) in terminal, but it didn't find filezilla. I then found another thread and tried writing as shown by aysiu in the screen grab. But, it got to 99% and then after ages said it couldn't finish (see screenshot).

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to find out which hard drive my vista installation is labeled in ubuntu so I can finish editing the grub menu.1st file.
All it says on the sourceforge page is
Quote:
Root - You likely have something along these lines "(hd0,1)". "hd0" refers to the your hard drive while 1 points to the partition. Note that for GRUB, partitions start at 0 and not 1. for example 0=Partition 1, 1=Partition 2 and so on.
It doesn't say how I can find out which one my vista is. So I need to know what my hard drive is in linux. Is it hd0,1 or hd0 or what?
After some hours of googling, I've managed to increase the size of the default ramdisks (/dev/ram0-16) to 1 GiB each, I raided them together with mdadm to try it out, then created a filesyste, mounted it etc etc. No problems. The problem comes when I used gparted to move my windows partition over and in the unallocated space (1 GiB), I created an unformatted partition (/dev/sda2)Now when I try to create the raid array I get the following:
Code:
:~$ sudo mdadm --create /dev/md0 -l 1 -n 2 /dev/ram0 /dev/sda2
mdadm: Cannot open /dev/sda2: Device or resource busy

I'm a novice using Ubuntu 10.1 on an Asus EeePC. For several days, my computer has refused to connect to the office wifi, though it's had no trouble doing this in the past. It recognizes the signal, and the wifi icon keeps indicating that it's in the process of connecting, but the process never completes. Every few minutes I'll be asked to re-enter the password. Eventually it gives up.
I'm not sure if this problem extends to other wifi networks or just the one at my office.
I'm writing a download script, that will serve files for download and that has to log each download. I'd write something like this:
Code:
log_downlad($file_id, $user_id...);
$dl_path = $server_mount."/".$file_hash...;

I have never in a year had a problem with this d-boot system. Two days ago I tried to boot into ubuntu like every day. It started to load normal, went to the ubuntu logo and paused for about 15 seconds and posted this under the logo:
One or more of the mounts listed in /etc/fstab cannot yet be mounted
/: waiting for /dev/loop0
/tmp: waiting for (null)
/boot: waiting for /host/ubuntu/disks/boot
Press ESC to enter a recovery shell
I have looked everywhere and tried so many things, I can't look any further. All I have been doing for two days is trying to boot this system.
One of the hard drives in my server failed the other day, backups saved the day and downtime was only a few hours, but when setting up the new drive I went ahead and migrated to software RAID, in the hopes it may give me less downtime in the future when a drive fails. It all went rather well, but my main root partition won't finish syncing for some reason.
sda was the original drive with sda4 as /, sda1 as /boot, and sda2 as swap. sdb was the drive that failed and was replaced with the new drive. So I set up sdb with the same partitions of sda, added it to a RAID1 array, copied files from sda, and reboot to md4 as /, md1 as /boot, and md2 as swap. I added the sda partitions to the array, and the sync went off without a hitch on md1 and md2, md4 progresses well, but after a few hours /proc/mdstat just shows this:
Code:
root@d668:~# cat /proc/mdstat
Personalities : [linear] [multipath] [raid0] [raid1] [raid6] [raid5] [raid4] [raid10]
md2 : active raid1 sdb2[1] sda2[0]
