| ubuntu | Hi i have a problem with booting up my ubuntu from the hard drive? anyone can help me? :( | 22:30 |
| === ubuntu is now known as freak0adam | ||
| freak0adam | hello anyone? | 22:31 |
| holstein | freak0adam: feel free and elaborate, and im sure someone will chime in if they have any suggestions :) | 22:31 |
| freak0adam | well i installed ubuntu on my hard drive throwing up the windows btw. everything was ok, instalation was finished without any problem . and then when computer restarted it just shows like this sign _ which is like blinking all the time. and nothing happens then. | 22:33 |
| holstein | freak0adam: how did it run live? | 22:34 |
| freak0adam | what do u mean? | 22:34 |
| holstein | i typically like to see a LIVE cd run before installing.. i like to see the desktop, test the networking | 22:35 |
| holstein | whatever else | 22:35 |
| holstein | freak0adam: were you able to get to the desktop live? | 22:35 |
| freak0adam | well actually im on the cd right now | 22:35 |
| freak0adam | i mean i booted it from cd to get some help ^^ | 22:35 |
| holstein | OK... not sure whats up then... you can try to go to TTY's | 22:36 |
| freak0adam | where ? ^^ | 22:36 |
| holstein | i would expect that if the graphics drivers were not supported | 22:36 |
| holstein | but, if you are in the live CD now, it should be just fine | 22:36 |
| holstein | freak0adam: control+alt+F7 should be where you are now | 22:37 |
| holstein | you can try control+alt+F2 | 22:37 |
| holstein | F1, whatever | 22:37 |
| holstein | if i get a black screen, i try and get to those | 22:37 |
| freak0adam | i dont exactly get it what should i do? | 22:39 |
| holstein | freak0adam: you should boot | 22:39 |
| holstein | when you see the black screen | 22:39 |
| holstein | you press and hold the control key | 22:39 |
| holstein | then, you press and hold the alt key | 22:39 |
| freak0adam | ok ok i get it. ^^ | 22:40 |
| holstein | while holding both of those down, you press the F1 key | 22:40 |
| holstein | or F2... etc | 22:40 |
| freak0adam | but i have like a black screen with that blinking thing | 22:40 |
| holstein | if you try it now, on the live CD, F7 is where you are now | 22:40 |
| holstein | typically, its F7 | 22:40 |
| holstein | freak0adam: right | 22:40 |
| holstein | so, you try other TTY's | 22:40 |
| freak0adam | what is TTY? | 22:41 |
| holstein | see if you get something other than that blinking cursor | 22:41 |
| holstein | then you try verifying the disc, and the downloaded image | 22:41 |
| holstein | your hard drive is also on the list of things to test | 22:41 |
| holstein | you are *not* using your hard drive now, and its booting | 22:41 |
| freak0adam | ok so i should restart the computer without a cd and try this combination? | 22:42 |
| holstein | freak0adam: thats what i would do | 22:42 |
| holstein | when ever i see a black screen, i try TTY's | 22:43 |
| holstein | then, i would test the hard drive | 22:43 |
| freak0adam | ok brb | 22:43 |
| holstein | make sure the iso is good, and the CD is good | 22:43 |
| holstein | try reinstalling | 22:43 |
| holstein | try another version | 22:43 |
| holstein | try 10.04 | 22:43 |
| freak0adam | ok im lost now | 22:43 |
| holstein | freak0adam: where? | 22:43 |
| freak0adam | what do i do first? | 22:43 |
| holstein | freak0adam: you can go in that order | 22:44 |
| freak0adam | ok | 22:44 |
| holstein | you can test the hard drive now though | 22:44 |
| holstein | from the live CD | 22:44 |
| holstein | if you want... in the disk utility | 22:44 |
| freak0adam | how? | 22:44 |
| holstein | im not sure what you are running, and how to tell you to get there in unity, but its called 'disk utility' | 22:45 |
| holstein | you'll see tests you can run | 22:45 |
| holstein | the one i suggest should take an hour | 22:45 |
| holstein | good luck!... i gotta run | 22:46 |
| freak0adam | sure | 22:46 |
| freak0adam | hey. i have a problem. i installed ubuntu on my hard drive instead of windows and when it restarted after instalation it doesnt turn on. i mean i have only that black screen with blinking _ . does anyone know what could be wrong? | 22:55 |
