Ubuntu :: Installing Ubuntu 10.10 Amd64 After Windows 7?
Dec 23, 2010
I have windows 7 64 bit installed. I used the universal-installer to put Ubuntu 10.10 (64bit version) on my USB. I have partitioned my hard drive into 4 partitions. First partition for windows 7 system reserve. Second partition C for the main part of windows 7. The third partition is logical and it is for random stuff. The fourth I intend to install Ubuntu on it. I tried to left this fourth partition unallocated, format it into ext3, format it into NTFS, but in any case, the Ubuntu installer can not detect that I already have another OS on my HD, and when I go into that "special partition option", Ubuntu installer only let me repartition anything. It can't see the existing partitions. Below is the result of the bootscript.
Code:
Boot Info Script 0.55 dated February 15th, 2010
Boot Info Summary:
=> Windows is installed in the MBR of /dev/sda
=> Syslinux is installed in the MBR of /dev/sdb
[Code]...
Strange thing is that Gparted and the installer can not see the existing partition (partition table unrecognised in Gparted). It tells me that my whole hard drive is unallocated. However the script, which I think uses fdisk, can see the existing partitions.

Why is there an AMD in the install iso name? Does this imply that there may be a problem with using 64 bits and an Intel cpu (in my case an i5)?

Yesterday I installed Debian "succesfully" (after some problems that were easily solved), but now I need some help with installing drivers and other stuff. I need to install the Conceptronic wireless card (rt61). I followed a guide I found on the Internet, but, when making the installation, Terminal gives me some errors.
make
make[1]: gets in the directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.32-5-amd64'
Building modules, stage 2.
MODPOST 0 modules
[code]....
Another thing I don't know if I installed correctly are the nVidia drivers. I think I installed them succesfully, because my graphics card is now quiet (when the drivers are not installed, it sounds like a nuke) and I have the nVidia settings installed, but... when I try to modify the resolution in Preferences/Monitor, I see "Unknown monitor" and "50hz refresh rate". My TV suports 75hz and when I installed Debian I had it at 75, but after installing the nVidia drivers, everything gone wrong.
I tried to update the xorg.conf with nVidia-settings, and now it says my monitor is at 75hz and it's a Phillips, but I still see Unknow monitor and 50Hz at Preferences/Monitor. Why does this happens? Also, my integrated sound card doesn't work. When I try to open a MP3 file, It opens correctly, but my speakers don't work. And the last thing is... Compiz doesn't work! Well, nothing about Desktop Effects work. I also don't know where should I set up those Desktop Effects (I know how in Ubuntu, but in Debian...).

Using VirtualBox on Ubuntu 9.10. Processor is Intel Q8200 Debian amd64 ISOs should work on my system but I had to resort to i386, which installed flawlessly despite a couple of kernel panics once X started. I don't think the problem is VirtualBox and I'm about to reboot and try loading the CD normally to see if that works.

I think about editing and compressing some avi files and want to install cinelerra-cv. However there are some dependency problems it seems...
aptitude install cinelerra-cv cinelerra-doc cinelerra-cv-data
The following NEW packages will be installed:
cinelerra-cv cinelerra-cv-data cinelerra-doc libavcore0{a} libavutil50{a} libfaac0{a} libmjpegtools-1.9{a} libmp3lame0{a} libmpeg3-1{a} libmpeg3hv-1.5.0-1{a} libquicktime1{a} libquicktimehv-1.6.0-1{a} libva-x11-1{a} libva1{a} libx264-112{a} libxvidcore4{a} mpeg3-utils{a} ttf-bitstream-vera{a}
The following packages will be upgraded: libavcodec52 libpostproc51 libswscale0 3 packages upgraded, 18 newly installed, 0 to remove and 5 not upgraded. Need to get 16.5 MB of archives. After unpacking 31.5 MB will be used. The following packages have unmet dependencies: libavformat52: Depends: libavcodec52 (< 4:0.5.2-99) but 5:0.6.1+svn20101128-0.2 is to be installed. or libavcodec-extra-52 (< 4:0.5.2-99) which is a virtual package. The following actions will resolve these dependencies:
[code]....
Normally I say yes and hope for good, but this time... I do not use adobe flash player, but I would still like to watch ..... videos. Would be hard without gnash, right? I use iron portable and iceweasel. Also I use totem a lot, but aptitude seems not being able to resolve this inconsistency automatically. My question is: what would happen, if I just say "y"? gnash is completly away? And is there any way to install newer version of gnash or do whatever to have everything working?

I am attempting to install Banshee 1-1.7.3 in Gentoo. So far I cannot find an ebuild (any links would be greatly appreciated) so I am attempting to install it from source. However I am getting stuck at the first hurdle; when I attempt the ./configure command all the dependencies check out OK, but I then get this error message at the end:
Quote:
./configure: line 12014: SHAMROCK_EXPAND_LIBDIR: command not found
./configure: line 12015: SHAMROCK_EXPAND_BINDIR: command not found
./configure: line 12016: SHAMROCK_EXPAND_DATADIR: command not found
[code]....
The reason that I am wanting this version of banshee is to use the Amazon MP3 plugin. Gentoo has an app for this in the portage repositories but it is hard masked for amd64.

I am working on a project which targets both 32 and 64 bit architectures at the moment. My system is amd64. I added i386 architecture using this guide. However, my problem is
Code: Select allapt-get install package-name:i386
prompts the removal of currently installed packages (amd64 arch.) which is the problem.
Code: Select allReading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree   Â
Reading state information... Done
The following extra packages will be installed:
 libportaudio0:i386
[Code] ...
Some of the packages I am talking about are
-libegl1-mesa-dev:i386
-libportaudio-dev:i386
Now, as of now, I want to carry out the compilation using 32 bit libraries, however, I really don't want to install 64bit version of all prerequisites each time I switch the compilation from 32 bit to 64. Is there any way to have both architectures at the same time?

It was said that Win 7's Virtual PC is not suitable for installing Ubuntu 10.04 Is there any method at all that it will work? The following is the scenario I ran into: The first time Ubuntu 10.04 installation CD-R boots up, it asked for the Language, and "Install Ubuntu" and then the screen has vertical green bars and then the VPC just closed. The 2nd or 3rd time it booted up, there is no asking of Language or "Install Ubuntu" and just shut down the VPC, sometimes with vertical green bars. I even created another new hard drive and same thing happened. And created VPC 02, and same thing happened. Created VPC 03 with a fixed hard drive size of 60GB and same thing happened.

When I bought my computer from a friend, he told me that it had 60Gbs in it. Well, when I began to install Ubuntu Linx 9.10 I came to the point of decission of whether or not to delete Windows XP or run Ubuntu 9.10 along with Windows XP. I had a decision to make and I honestly thought I had enough free space to run both. I kept on having problems bringing up Ubuntu. It would go so far and then it would freeze. Well I updated GNOME and I was able to login and try a few things. I of course downloaded and installed the program that I needed to run the program that was running my online radio station. I also downloaded a scanner for to check virusus. I then tried to download some other softwear but I deleted them and kept the scanner and the other program that plays my radio station. Since I did that I logged out and shut down the computer. I haven't been able to get to the point to where I can login again. It freezes. How can I add more memory of free space to run Ubutu. If there is no way of doing that how can I delete Ubuntu and start all over again so that I can again install Ubuntu Linux 9.10 and take off Windows XP so I can run Ubuntu. I really do like the Ubuntu's system. It is so very quick bringing up websites. I have a 32bit download on the CD. I found out the computer was only 16Gbs.

I have an Acer laptop, on which a I have Ubuntu installed with no disk partitioning. I may need to install Windows 7 on this machine but have no desire to stop using Ubuntu for normal use. Is it possible to create a partition to install Windows on, without changing my Ubuntu set up? Also, whilst I'm at it, I'd like to create a third partition for general data storage.

i currently use a toshiba A200 with 2.0 core duo processor, and an I 945 chipset. since the laptop is quite old now, i am planning to buy another toshiba. since i want an ultraportable, i have narrowed down on the nice satellite T235 or the much acclaimed portege R700. now these laptops are being shipped with windows 7 OS. installed a dual boot option of 10.04 in any of these computers ? i had tried quite some time ago to do a dual boot in a compaq. however, there was some problem with the boot loader and i although ubuntu installed nicely, i was simply unable to get the system to boot up ! so is there a compatibility issue with 10.04 and later versions on the one hand and and windown 7 on the other ?

I have two drives in my system with Windows7 installed on the first one (sda) and Ubuntu installed on the second one (sdb). I had to reinstall Windows and now I of course can't access Ubuntu since the MBR was overwritten by the Windows installer.
I followed the LiveCD recovery method described at [url] And it didn't work. When I rebooted after doing a grub-install on sda, I was simply given a Grub command line with no menu or anything. grub-install said it completed successfully and had no errors. What exactly do I need to do to get Grub set up correctly so I can access both OSes?

I had 2 separate partitions on my computer: one for Windows 7, one without a system on it. On the 2nd of the described partition at the end of it I installed Debian Linux. (After that I had 3 usable / visible partitions.) I was looking for less hassle with drivers so I decided to install Ubuntu and make greater the partition for Linux. In a forum I saw an article describing how to uninstall (remove) Debian. Roughly it described the process as follows:Delete Debian partition from Windows. Restart and in repair mode enter "repairmbr".
I did the first step. After the restart, the grub seemed to be damaged and it wouldn't show any options. Started the Ubuntu LiveCD, made the "Linux" partition greater, moved it to the beginning of the original of the to large partitions, transformed it to an extended partition, created the swap area in the beginning of it and installed Ubuntu 10.10. All went well, a new grub was created, Windows loader was detected, but didn't work. Same after upgraded to a newer version of Linux generic kernel. The installation process detected the Windows 7 but after restart it does not work. When trying to enter it, for about 1..2 seconds the screen turns black and again the same Grub menu is shown. So the problem is that I cannot boot into Windows 7, I had pre-installed it so I don't have a disk for it. Recovery disks I made seems to be for re-installation only which is not an option at this time. All repair modes where accessible when starting Windows; any of them is not accessible.
Both Windows 7 and Ubuntu 10.10 are 64-bit systems.

Currently, I have linux installed on a USB drive, and I am running the OS from there. That is fine and dandy, but I REALLY wanted in on the HDD. I am using a laptop, and I thought I had to be running linux to install linux on a HDD. Well... I'm clueless as to how to get it on the HDD now. I do NOT have any CDs, so I need to install from the Hard drive. My computer is so,so, slow running the OS from the USB drive.

My friend borrowed my laptop for a while and when he gave it back he said he replaced Windows 7 with Ubuntu. I asked him to switch it back simply because I prefer Windows. He claims not to know how. I don't want to go buy a new windows 7 disc I just want to figure out how to get rid of this Ubuntu and Windows 7.
