Ubuntu :: Install Kubuntu Without Removing Those OSs?
Jun 18, 2010
I have installed ubuntu and windows using wubi. Now i want to install kubuntu without removing those OSs. Will it show all 3 OS while booting? What may be the effect of this new installation on my old installations?
If I install Fedora with wubi, what will be the side effect of this. Will they happily go side by side or will it remove other installations. Can i install all these 4 OSs at one time, or do it allow just 2 installations at a time.

I wanted to try KDE, Because I havent really given it a chance since 3.5.*, but now I seem to be stuck with the kubuntu splashes on startup and shutdown. I want the original Ubuntu ones back, without removing K. I found tutorials from 2006, but I'm hesitant to use them. anyone know how to get it done on the new plymouth setup that 10.04 has?

what i did was, remove evolution mail from synaptic, what i wanted to do was just remove the indicator applet from the task bar. i read a bunch of bad stuff about removing evolution from synaptic vs just removing the applet.
im worried. did i break anything or put my security at risk. after, i used a command (older) (sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop)to install ubuntu desktop. because i thought that it would fix evolution. then i went to synaptic and installed a package called evolution. i rechecked evolution in applications menu. however, i notice that i have both a checkable evolution and two evolution icons. nothing 'seems' broken. im not sure if it ever was. and evolution calender pops up as normal, as does the the installed plain evolution. they both seems to be an exact copy of the other.
all i really wanted to do was remove the indicator applet. did i make a serious mistake. since ive had ubuntu, ive reformatted a lot because i was worried i made a mistake of some kind. however now im into the more "make a mistake and fix it stage' as im pretty happy with my current desktop and have worked hard to customize it. the command, sudo apt-get remove indicator-messages removed the mail icon. i still am worried that i broke something, or put my security at risk. also, now i have two mail icons. evolution mail and calendar, and another just called evolution.

I installed Kubuntu-Desktop on Ubuntu & now my Ubuntu installation is on the 2nd (data)partition! It's hard to believe but I'm looking at it from a live cd and that's what looks like happened.For right now, my main goal is to get Ubuntu back.Should I make the 2nd partition bootable so I have a dual-boot option at startup? Should I make the 2nd partition bootable & not the first? Can I uninstall Kubuntu somehow & have things return to how they were?I thought I was just loading an alternative sassion to Gnome.I thought that the only thing I said yes to was to use the KDE boot manager (or whatever).

I know a bunch of commands and I am comfortable using the terminal, I even set a powerpc server but I can't figure out how to remove epiphany on this new computer I'm setting up. I didn't install anything with tasksel. I installed gnome and xorg afterwards... I load it up and 'startx' just fine. then I check around for the programs that were installed. I lik'em gimp, lot's of utilities. gedit. anyway I find epiphany, which I have already established that I dislike, I immediately go to the root terminal (another nice program that comes with gnome) and type apt-get remove epiphany-browser-data the output says it will be deleting gnome... however I have researched and found these are simpy meta packages that don't really matter.... however under the section that states all the packages that will be removed by autoremove there is a huge list... I doubt these packages are safe to remove. how to remove epiphany without removing a huge amount of probably needed software

These should be my last pleas for help with regard to Fedora 13. I've been unable to turn off the notifications that appear in the top right corner, despite a decent amount of searching on google. I can't remove any notifications package without removing a bunch of important software along with it. Also, F13 refuses to "Safely Remove" either of my external disks. I have to yank out the usb cord, touching wood each time.

XP Pro SP3
Ubuntu 9.10
Kubuntu 9.10
Tri-booting. They were installed in the order I listed above. I ran into a few bugs with Kubuntu, so I no longer want to use it. I want to use GParted on a LiveCD to format Kubuntu and expand my Ubuntu home partition to sit on top of Kubuntu's space right now. If I nuke Kubuntu, will Grub still exist with my Ubuntu/XP entries to boot?

when it comes to Linux with little to no understanding of the command lines and what they mean.
Issue:I currently have a dual boot Windows 7 PC (Toshiba Satellite A100-756 with 250GB HDD and 3GB RAM, 32-bit).What I want to do is format the HDD (removing both partitions) and make a clean install of Ubuntu only.I tried for several hours last night to achieve this using Ubuntu 10.10 and Pendrive, but with no success. System would not boot from USB stick.
How do I: 1. Format the HDD and remove the partitions using only Ubuntu on a USB stick?
2. Install Ubuntu and partition the HDD ready to copy over my backed up files?

I'm running ubuntu 9.10 64 bit on an amd x64 computer. I have a cd for kubuntu 9.04 32 bit that I want to try. When I reboot and the "boot from CD/DVD:" comes up I hit the enter key (sometimes many times) but it won't load the kubuntu.

I would like to apply KDE on my Kubuntu because the current one blew up. But each time I to sudo get-apt it seems to be fetching from the cloud. Is there a way I can make it to read from my local Kubuntu CD? I have both Ubuntu 10.04 LTS and Kubuntu Live CDs.
I believe the local disk read should be faster to translate than to bite the bytes across thousands of miles over the wire right?

I did install Kubuntu 10.10 LVM Encrypted from Alternate CD on dual boot XP with Ubuntu 10.10.http://members.iinet.net/~herman546/p19.html My problem is,that when installation asked me for where to put GRUB I didn't type anything because I have GRUB2 already installed. Now it won't boot. Tried Bios to set USB as 1st boot,and HDD as a 2nd option. It went to 2nd option,with GRUB2. So I hit "c" and "ls" showed only HD0 and HD1 (HD has 2 partitions,1st XP and 2nd Ubuntu 10] and no SD found. How can I fix this? Installation took for hours,would be nice to fix it without reinstalling it again

Is there a way to install KDE without the installation of kubuntu-desktop and the re-branding and changing of settings and themes that come with it? I would like to try KDE again, but don't want to see Kubuntu while I'm booting. Also, it seems that it adds a lot of bloat, being as I need a removal script to reverse the changes it makes.

I am trying to install Kubuntu but the computer won't start after installation is finished. I think it has something to do with the way Kubuntu names the hard drives which doesn't match the way Grub names them...being a noob I don't even know if that makes any sense, much less how to fix it. Here's what I know. I install Kubuntu to a 16MB SSD. That shows up as "sdc" during Kubuntu installation. I select "use whole disk". Installation goes thru, computer won't start
Now if I install Ubuntu to the same 16MB SSD, it shows up as "sda" during Ubuntu installation.Installation goes thru, Ubuntu boots perfectly.

I currently have Ubuntu running on my dads computer, but came to the conclusion, not to mention his complaining, that Ubuntu isn't for him. Instead, I read up on Kubuntu and thought it was perfect!
I already know that I can download Kubuntu through the Ubuntu software center, but I want to do a complete clean install with Kubuntu. So far, I have made a cd for Kubuntu, but can't get the cd to pick up when I boot my pc, so that I may install it.
How can I install Kubuntu for his computer and remove Ubuntu?

I want to install Kde desktop on ubuntu 9.04, is there any way to do it from my kubuntu 9.04 live cd. Another question is that i recently find that many useful packages and many dependencies for it are available in a disk of my 64 studio. I am also able to install them just by clicking on that .deb files. But i find it difficult when i need to install dependencies since it take a long time to search and find it though they are available in the same disk. Is there any way to install it easily.I mean to install the packages and there dependencies from cd using some simple terminal command or something.

Long story short my roommate has been using KDE 4.4.2 for a few weeks and enjoying it, so I figured I would give it a shot when I saw this on the Kubuntu front page. I added ppa:kubuntu-ppa/backports to my software sources and asked kpackage kit to look for updates, it found a bunch, plus around 25 blocked updates. I figured they were blocked because they depended on some other update I was about to install. I told it to start updates and left it on its own for a while. About halfway through KDE crash handler popped up saying the network manager crashed, so I told it to restart, plugged into my wired connection, and continued updates. Once it finished, their were still 25 blocked updates to I figured a restart was in order. Once I restart I get to the log in screen, log in, and then I am prompted with this message by the KDE Crash Handler:

I'm trying to get Kubuntu 10.04 (x64) installed and everything I do fails, hard. I don't have exact details at the moment since this is a process I've been slowly working on for the last couple weeks, but here's a quick rundown:
- Can boot into the Live CD environment fine. When attempting to install from there, the installer sees my drives incorrectly. If I remember correctly, it views my 2nd drive fine (of 3 identical drives), but it thinks my other two drives are part of a raid setup (they're not supposed to be). I could probably install on here, but I'm not about to risk my existing XP install to try.
- When I try to use wubi to install in Windows, it appears to setup the installation fine, but upon restarting it tells me that it cannot find the ubuntu.iso file and that my drive is probably dirty (run chkdsk). It still says this even after running chkdsk and restarting gracefully.
- I've run the "Check CD for defects" thing and it says the CD is okay. My memory seems to be fine as well.
- I've 3 identical Seagate 250gb SATA drives installed on a MSI k9a2 platinum board. These are not setup in any kind of RAID setup.

Did a clean install (with drive format) of Kubuntu 10.04 x64. Installed updates and rebooted a few times.Need to install NVidia driver for my GPU (200series). Have downloaded the latest driver to my documents folder, and set properties, but I do not know how to go any further. How do I install the driver? Direct any help to a total N00b to Kubuntu with little knowledge of other versions. (Q6600 system, 200GB drive, 4GB RAM).
