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.

I downloaded and installed the Ubuntu desktop edition and when I boot up I have the options to boot either Windows 7, or Ubuntu (so far so good), however, when I select Ubuntu I get a message saying that the following file is corrupt:
File: ubuntuwinbootwubildr.mbr
status: 0xc000000f
Info: The selected entry could not be loaded because the application is missing or corrupt.
Any thoughts on this? Would just re-installing it fix the problem?

I have a server set up with Ubuntu Karmic. I am making it a printer server, and my printer is compatible with Ubuntu. (I tested it on my laptop, also using ubuntu) My problem is, the driver installer is graphical and my server is not. Is there a way I can just run the installer in server WITHOUT installing gdm or a desktop environment? So far, everyone I've read says to have xserver,xorg,fluxbox(or other gui), etc. I just want to run the installer through SSH, and I know about the -X tag.

View 5 Replies View RelatedWhat 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 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 ?
So I installed UNR10.10 on my netbook and im not really happy with unity. so i thought i would just log into the normal gnome version and customize it to my liking. from the login screen i choose "Ubuntu-Desktop-Edition" and log in. But the screen just shows my wallpaper...nothing else...i cant call up a terminal, dont get any right click options, nothing. How can i enable the normal desktop interface on the 10.10 Netbook version
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm having a bit of trouble installing Ubuntu 10.04 on my system. When I boot into the installer my screen just goes blank. I've tried a number of things to resolve the issue (tried using xforcevesa, reburning the cd etc) and none of these worked. Looking around on the forums, it would appear that my video card (HD 5770) has little support and I tried all the suggestions I found concerning my card. Could this be it? I don't have another graphics card so changing it isn't an option.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to setup my Ubuntu 9.10 laptop to host a small website that I can practice and learn stuff with and I'm a little stuck at the minute.
I have got Apache2 and the LAMP stack installed okay, along with phpMyAdmin and can give my external IP to anyone with the http:// and anyone can view my website that way but what I want to do is have my IP resolve into a domain name like ooloo-website.net but I don't know how to do this.
Is there any way that I can do this like register my IP to a free DNS and domain website without buying a domain or using one of those free ones like ooloo.webhost.net or do I need to host everything myself like DNS and the domain? Can I even do all of this myself?

I just installed Linux Ubuntu Desktop Edition on my Acer Aspire T671-TB7Z, the installation went smooth but the internet is not working. When I login the background blinks 3 times, and I can't move the mouse, after that I can. But the real problem is I am not very experienced with Linux but the wireless icon does show up and I can access wireless networks, I am connected, but when I load a page on Firefox it says it is on "work offline" so I unticked it and tried again. Nothing worked again, this is weird because I am using it now to post this thread on my sisters netbook and on the pc that has the problem has Windows 7 Ultimate as a dual boot and the internet works fine on that too, the only internet problem I have is linux.

View 3 Replies View RelatedSo I downloaded the Ubuntu 10.04 Desktop Edition and burned it to a disk. Shut off my computer and restarted it, booting from the CD Drive. It couldn't find it. So I thought maybe there was an unrecorded write error so I burned it to a second disc. Well after burning it I noticed I can't even see the disc anymore. It doesn't seem to be recognized at all. That explains why it didn't boot from CD.
But what I want to know is why on earth is it basically going invisible and not working? I've never had a problem with burning discs, especially Ubuntu stuff... So why...? Well I just booted up the CD on a different computer and it seems to be working fine. So it appears that my computer simply has ceased to see bootable discs or maybe its just non-empty discs.
I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx Desktop Edition and most of the time I get these random freezes and then I have to turn off my computer and reboot it back on. It's getting really annoying because I am constantly downloading huge packs of data and it freezes and then I have to start re downloading...
