Hello all! Well, I lost my password to my PClinuxOS computer, and so i figured why not just move on to something like Ubuntu! Well.... 1. Do I need to log in to do this? I'm not trying to duel boot, I want ubuntu and only Ubuntu on my computer. 2. Im getting this weird like reddish screen with like a film icon=Man with circle around him....WTH is this? I imaged the IOS on a CD, ploppled it in and turned her on and I got that screen... So, anybody wanna help a poor little cheapo out ?
i had this problem too....heres what i did and it worked like a charm. 1. Get in your car 2. Drive to nearest Apple Store 3. Purchase either Macbook; Macbook Pro; iMac; Mac Pro. 4. Turn on your Macbook; Macbook Pro; iMac; Mac Pro. 5. Enjoy the greatest and most beautiful (IMHO) computing experience ever! 6. Send $20.00 to me via PayPal for giving this awesome advice.
You don't need to log in. Just make sure you have your CD drive set up as 1st boot device and the ubuntu installer should start upon powering up your computer. If you're experiencing some installation problems, I'd recommend you download the alternative CD and try with the text installer. It's much faster too. Good luck!
well i got it working and all...but now upon it installing i am offered 5 options and any 1 of them freezes the computer?
That's strange, never had that problem before. Are you trying the last version of ubuntu (10.04)? If the problem persists, you can try to install it from an USB drive, so you can discard any Cd-Rom related issues.
I recommend complete and clean installation, Ubuntu is a complete customizable OS, you dont need to log-in and every april and octber Canonical releases a new version.
how do i instal via USB? an I use an external hard drive. Thanks for moving this thred mods, now i will get no responses except SPAM this deals with devs tho! Oh well...
