[22:31] freak0adam: feel free and elaborate, and im sure someone will chime in if they have any suggestions :) [22:33] 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. [22:34] freak0adam: how did it run live? [22:34] what do u mean? [22:35] i typically like to see a LIVE cd run before installing.. i like to see the desktop, test the networking [22:35] whatever else [22:35] freak0adam: were you able to get to the desktop live? [22:35] well actually im on the cd right now [22:35] i mean i booted it from cd to get some help ^^ [22:36] OK... not sure whats up then... you can try to go to TTY's [22:36] where ? ^^ [22:36] i would expect that if the graphics drivers were not supported [22:36] but, if you are in the live CD now, it should be just fine [22:37] freak0adam: control+alt+F7 should be where you are now [22:37] you can try control+alt+F2 [22:37] F1, whatever [22:37] if i get a black screen, i try and get to those [22:39] i dont exactly get it what should i do? [22:39] freak0adam: you should boot [22:39] when you see the black screen [22:39] you press and hold the control key [22:39] then, you press and hold the alt key [22:40] ok ok i get it. ^^ [22:40] while holding both of those down, you press the F1 key [22:40] or F2... etc [22:40] but i have like a black screen with that blinking thing [22:40] if you try it now, on the live CD, F7 is where you are now [22:40] typically, its F7 [22:40] freak0adam: right [22:40] so, you try other TTY's [22:41] what is TTY? [22:41] see if you get something other than that blinking cursor [22:41] then you try verifying the disc, and the downloaded image [22:41] your hard drive is also on the list of things to test [22:41] you are *not* using your hard drive now, and its booting [22:42] ok so i should restart the computer without a cd and try this combination? [22:42] freak0adam: thats what i would do [22:43] when ever i see a black screen, i try TTY's [22:43] then, i would test the hard drive [22:43] ok brb [22:43] make sure the iso is good, and the CD is good [22:43] try reinstalling [22:43] try another version [22:43] try 10.04 [22:43] ok im lost now [22:43] freak0adam: where? [22:43] what do i do first? [22:44] freak0adam: you can go in that order [22:44] ok [22:44] you can test the hard drive now though [22:44] from the live CD [22:44] if you want... in the disk utility [22:44] how? [22:45] im not sure what you are running, and how to tell you to get there in unity, but its called 'disk utility' [22:45] you'll see tests you can run [22:45] the one i suggest should take an hour [22:46] good luck!... i gotta run [22:46] sure [22:55] 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?
