[14:38] <bikram> is showing after I installed ubuntu over windows 7
[14:38] <bikram> windows 7 is no more showing in the boot menu
[14:39] <bikram> does anyone have an idea what might be wrong.
[14:39] <bikram> I installed ubuntu using / on the ext4  rather than the windows drive
[19:44] <lasagna> I'm trying to install the latest release of ubuntu, it installs, and then when it goes to do a reboot it gets stuck on a "Loading Operating System..." screen.
[19:44] <lasagna> Not sure what to try next to actually get it going
[19:53] <bioterror> !nomodeset
[19:53] <ubot2`> A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter
[19:56] <lasagna> I was able to do that when I was doing the initial install.  When I'm rebooting where/what do I do to set that?   I can't find anything that will let me edit the commands....
[19:58] <bioterror> you have to press left shift right after BIOS
[19:58] <bioterror> and it will prompt you the GRUB
[19:58] <bioterror> then you edit it with the e button
[19:58] <bioterror> and this nomodeset after ro quiet
[19:58] <lasagna> I've tried that.  It still takes me to the "loading operating system..." screen
[19:58] <bioterror> should not
[19:58] <bioterror> you have to be faster!
[19:58] <lasagna> *laugh*  Let me try it a few more times

[20:03] <lasagna> is holding it down too much or pressing it too early an issue?
[20:23] <bioterror> I dunno
[20:23] <bioterror> I just booted a moment ago to memtest86+
[20:23] <bioterror> my kubuntu machine was unresponsive second time in a week
[20:24] <bioterror> *under
[20:31] <lasagna> ok.  thanks for your help.  Maybe I'll try installing a different version or something just to see if that works.
[20:35] <bioterror> no it wont
[20:35] <bioterror> as you need this nomodeset, atleat it looks like so
[20:36] <bioterror> you can also boot livecd, mount the hard drive and edit some grub lines
