[00:49] im new and just dled [00:53] I just built a new computer, and have been trying to install kubuntu 10.10 with no success. It gets through the install and asks to reboot, once i do it doesnt load, the screen just goes black. Can anyone help? [00:55] SirLee: did you install grub? [00:55] ummm no. To be honest im really new to this [00:55] i worked with a fresh install, no OS on at the time [00:56] I downloaded Kubuntu from their site and made a boot disk [00:56] 1 HD 2 ..... [00:56] 2 HDDs [00:56] one solid state [00:57] ok hold [00:57] ok [00:59] of the 2 HD's is the solid state the primary and the other for storage [00:59] or? [01:00] yes. [01:00] the solid state was strictly for boot [01:00] other HDD for storage [01:00] size of the primary [01:00] 128GB [01:01] eventually im going to dual boot so i customed the partitions when i did the kubuntu install [01:02] as long as on the end of the install prosess last page or just befor thars an advanced box to check [01:03] at the end of the install process it asked me to reboot [01:03] and you must install grub to the MBR of the primary boot drive usualey /sda === petr_ is now known as barackobama [01:04] no I mean the installer befor it acualey starts to install [01:04] my boot was sdb not sda [01:04] sdb was the 128GB SSD [01:05] and thats the drive the BIOS considers the primary boot device? [01:05] im...not sure [01:06] how do i go about checking that? [01:06] in the bios [01:06] check it ....enter the BIOS setings and see ...try booting the other drive [01:07] mabey grub went thare [01:07] ok [01:07] im not sure waht grub is though to be honest [01:07] i never dealt with it in the install [01:07] i dont recall [01:08] !grub [01:08] grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before Karmic (9.10).

[01:09] ok ok [01:09] so [01:09] it was trying to boot from my storage HDD [01:09] not the SSD [01:09] i switched them around so the SSD was the primary and it booted!
