But ideally i would want the pc to boot up as Windows then say if i hit a certain key on bootup it would swap it over to Linux from windows before it starts to load?

Installation :: Remove Windows From Duel Boot Ubuntu?

Apr 29, 2011

For the past few years, I've been duel booting my PC with Windows Vista and Ubuntu, and for some weird unknown reason Windows Vista won't even boot up pass the update screen... so I want to get rid of it.

Every tutorial I find says put the ubuntu cd in, and press install, but my computer isn't detecting the cd at start up, so is there any other ways I can remove windows without (or another way to load the cd)? I can't access Windows at all, so.. I won't be able to do anything about that.

Ubuntu :: Duel Boot Ubuntu & Windows Vista?

May 2, 2010

As I am sure many have had this issue. I have installed 10.4 and I cannot boot back into windows vista. I can boot into ubuntu just fine. I have installed Grub and Grub2 both program pick up ubuntu just fine, but they will not even find the windows install. I have tried a few fixes and none seem to have worked. So at this point I am not sure if it is a person PC issue or just the OS itself. I see lots of people are having this issue. Misery love company.

Feb 4, 2011

I'm planning on getting a netbook soon (probably in May), and the model I want (Asus EEE PC 1001PX-EU17-BK) comes with Windows 7 Starter. Should I keep Windows 7, install Ubuntu 11.04, or dual-boot?

I have already found intructions on how to dual boot the way I want, and how to change the wallpaper in Windows 7 Starter. I also already have experiance with Ubuntu, Unity 3D, and Windows XP.What would be the best solution?

Ubuntu Installation :: Xp And - Netbook Dual Boot - Error - Windows Boot Failed

Jul 8, 2010

I have a netbook running Windows XP as standard. There is also a recovery partition which came from the factory.

In the past I installed Ubuntu (I think 9.something) from USB key and all worked fine. However my XP became corrupted and I needed to do a repair on it. After this, Ubuntu became removed from the boot select menu.

Since then, Ubuntu has become updated to 10.04, which I now cannot install.

The Live CD tells me there is a "file IO error" and simply stops installation at around 70%.

I did manage to get into Ubuntu from a Live USB using Wubi. However when I chose to install Ubuntu to a Harddrive, the option to "install side by side" was missing.

After reading on the forums, I did a chkdsk /f on Windows and tried again. Now my liveUSB does not show a boot menu!

When I select to boot from USB stick, the screen goes blank with a flashing cursor. Ctrl+alt+dlt reboots.

I'm really lost here! It seems when I fix one problem, another problem arises!

Also when trying to instal Ubuntu within Windows, the process goes through to 100% and asks me to reboot. When I do so, the option for Ubuntu does show in the boot menu. However when I select it, I get an error "Windows boot failed: file wubildr.mbr and status: 0xc00000f - something is corrupt".

Ubuntu :: Goes Right Into Windows No Grub When Boot Up Netbook

Aug 16, 2010

I have a T61 with Windows 7 and Ubuntu on it and it works great. I also have a HP Mini 5102 with Windows 7 on it. I deleted the HP_RECOVERY partition and merged with my Windows partition because you can only have four partitions. I got Ubuntu Netbook Remix on a thumb drive and I installed it by telling it I want to pick between them at boot up. However, when I boot up my netbook it just goes right into Windows, no Grub. Here is what my fdisk -l looks like.

[Code]....

how I can get Grub running on this thing would be great.

OpenSUSE Hardware :: Windows Movement And Starter Menu Sluggish / Choppy

Aug 18, 2011

I have an Intel Core i7 860, 8 GB RAM, with nVidia Quadro NVS 295 graphics card running openSUSE 11.4 with KDE 4.7. Moving, resizing, and minimizing windows, opening the starter menu is sluggish, choppy. It's not that I cannot live with it, but it should be smooth, and that's what bothering me. It seems like I have tried "everything" to fix the problem, disabling the blur effect, the pixmap trick, changing nVidia driver (both the latest beta 285.03, the latest stable 280.13, and the one from the repository, 275.21), and enabling and disabling the things on the "Advanced" tab for desktop effects.

Changing from the Oxygen theme to something else improved it a bit, but it is still very choppy. It seems related to the number of windows I have open. If I have one window open, everything flows nicely, but already with two windows it becomes slow. I have a dual screen (TwinView) setup, but removing the second screen did not improve anything. I'm not very good at the graphics part. I can't stand all the comments about "sluggish Linux graphics" I get from MS Windows users.

These are the top lines I get from glxinfo:
Code:
name of display: :0
display: :0 screen: 0
direct rendering: Yes
server glx vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation
server glx version string: 1.4

Ubuntu :: Lost Xp In Duel Boot After Hardy Upgrade / Get That Back?

Jun 6, 2010

I've just had a phone call from an 8.04/win xp duel boot user who has lost the boot entry to xp after a 8.04 update. I guessed at a system upgrade but she checked and is still on Hardy. They write and only have the xp for printing as there is no Linux support for the cannon printer. Using the printer is important. I've said I'll pop round and try to sort it out. Any ideas how I can do this. Update grub in recovery mode maybe or if I need the command line what should I try? I'd like to know before calling as though I'm not quite a novice this isn't a problem I've had to cope with since grub 2 beta ( didn't solve it then either an am still using 9.04 ). Hacking legacy will be new to me. As this is a writers machine with all her work on it I'd regard it as a critical pc, don't want to mess things up for her.

Debian :: Time Displayed Incorrectly After Win7 Duel Boot Setup

Sep 29, 2010

I believe a windows7 addition to a multiboot system has buggered up the time displayed on two other debian installations on the same computer, a X86_64 and an AMD64 respectively. I'm running unstable on the two Debian installations but #dpkg-reconfigure tzdata can't fix the problem. At the moment the local time is displayed as 15:59 when in fact it is 19:59 and UTC is displaying the correct local time. (19:59) when it should be 23:59 I'm sure this is related to something win7 did, because I only noticed it after the additionalinstallation. I just don't know how to change things back like they were.

Installation :: Ubuntu Fails To Load Before Installation When Attempting To Duel Boot / Fix It?

Jun 24, 2010

I'm trying to install ubuntu on a laptop (Acer Aspire 6530), and duel boot with windows vista. However, when starting up the computer with the CD in the drive, the installer fails to load, showing only a picture at the bottom of the screen showing a square and a circle with a person in it... This persists for as long as I have cared to wait (hours) and pressing keys at first results in nothing, then after sufficient key presses just produces beeps...

Anyone know what's wrong there?

Ubuntu :: Cant Boot Ubuntu 10.04 Netbook Remix On Netbook

Sep 19, 2010

Im a new linux user and so far im loving it, problem is i just tried installing Ubuntu 10.04 netbook remix onto my Compaq mini 311 (via usb) and at first i couldnt even install from the flash stick...finally managed to by formatting the flash with an HP tool and then creating the bootable Live OS with "Linux Live USB creator 2.6."

I selected to use the whole Hard disk to install (the hard disk was empty anyway as i recently formated the drive which had windows 7 on it)

The the installation completed successfully but the problem is that after rebooting the OS wouldnt boot, leaving me with a flashing cursor or _ on the top left of the screen...

I have tried everything i could think of, using different Usb creators, formatting the hard drive before re-installing but for some reason im still left with the same blinking cursor after every install.

I have just installed the regular version of ubuntu 9.04 which works perfectly after installing but id much rather use the netbook version of 10.04

(I assume the issue has something to do with the bootloader but im completely new to the topic so cant really troubleshoot)

Ubuntu :: New Starter Trying To Install Drivers?

Feb 13, 2010

I've just started using Linux and am having troubles getting various drivers to work/install i've tried to install an nvidia 32bit linux graphics driver which fails once you right click it, display/run it and the progress bar gets to the end and just comes up red saying failed (can't remember what it exactly says)

i've also tried to install my pci wireless driver, the readme that came with it is very confusing, i tried to run the autorun.sh file, which doesnt seem to-do anything. i think i got somewhere by putting in code to the terminal which i got from the readme, but no luck.

Also is their a chipset driver i have to install? as with windows, when my comp starts all the fans come on at 100% then software throttles them once in windows, wheras with ubuntu their just 100% all the time.

i've tried looking for other threads to cure my problem with no luck. But did notice alot of people ask to see lspci results, here it is..

Ubuntu :: Add A New Icon To Starter Without Using The Desktop?

Aug 6, 2011

i just installed eclipse, the newewst version from the developer website of course, because the one out of the software center is more than outdated.

Now i have the problem that i don't have any icon in the starter. When i start eclipse i can right click on the icon and make it stick to the startet forever but it has no icon and i can't change it.

So my question is now: How do i add one to the starter? And i don't want to use the desktop right clicking and create a new starter variation of the solution. Firefox has no .desktop file for it's icon in the starter either.

P.S.: For the futurue version a right click on the starter->add or right click on and icon->edit
