| karox3 | Hello, I have question related to installing as a dual boot, is anyone on that can help? | 18:56 |
| karox3 | Hello, I still have question related to installing as a dual boot, is anyone on that can help? | 19:15 |
| karox3 | I'll put my issue out and see if that sparks interest | 19:16 |
| karox3 | I'm attempting an install alongside Windows 8.1 (not by choice) with 13.10. The DVD I burned (verified with checksum, verified disc integrity) just goes to a black screen after selecting any option at boot (Try ubunty, install, check for errors...). I've checked the forums, searched all over. Any ideas? | 19:16 |
| karox3 | Oh, and I changed the UEFI to Legacy, and turned off secure boot and fast boot | 19:17 |
| karox3 | Hello, anyone on that can help? I still have a question related to installing 13.10 as a dual boot | 20:17 |
| holstein | !dualboot | 21:24 |
| ubottu | Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DualBoot/Windows - Macs: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro https://help.ubuntu.com/community/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot | 21:24 |
| holstein | karox3: just elaborate if that doesnt help | 21:24 |
| holstein | karox3: likely, all you need to know is, ubuntustudio *is* ubuntu, so anything you find when searching "ubuntu dual boot with windows" for example is relevant | 21:25 |
| holstein | karox3: i think the issue you are experiencing is that the lowlatency kernel that ubuntustudio ships with may not work with uefi | 21:26 |
| holstein | karox3: what would i do? install xubuntu, or lubuntu or main ubuntu, and just add what you like from the studio packages | 21:26 |
| karox3 | thanks holstein! Do you think I'll notice any difference not having the low latency kernel (other than the fact that it would actually install)? | 21:27 |
| holstein | karox3: try it and see | 21:29 |
| karox3 | and just to clarify, when I get the blank screen, it's just after selecting either "try ubuntu without installing" or "install ubuntu", or really any option from that point. I notice that there's a momentary spinup of the dvd, and then nothing, no spin, just sad, sad darkness | 21:29 |
| holstein | karox3: depends on what you do | 21:29 |
| holstein | karox3: could be anything.. | 21:29 |
| holstein | !nomodeset | 21:29 |
| ubottu | 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 | 21:29 |
| karox3 | awesome, thanks again | 21:29 |
| holstein | or the kernel not being signed.. i dont have hardware like that with secure boot to test | 21:29 |
| holstein | if you disable secure boot, it should work | 21:29 |
| holstein | you can try nomodeset.. wont hurt anything | 21:30 |
| karox3 | I disable both secure boot and fast boot | 21:30 |
| karox3 | *disabled | 21:30 |
| holstein | karox3: sure.. but, thats independent of ubuntu | 21:30 |
| holstein | karox3: your machine has to be able to be configured to work with ubuntu | 21:30 |
| holstein | karox3: ubuntu is just doing what it can do... the machine has to support it | 21:30 |
| holstein | it would be the same if you were trying to install windows XP | 21:31 |
| karox3 | I've been really disappointed with this purchase. Didn't think Windows 8 would be quite this evil, nor that HP (it's a recent pavillion) would be so unfriendly to linux | 21:31 |
| holstein | eh.. its not "evil" really.. its just business | 21:31 |
| holstein | if you can return it, consider system76 | 21:32 |
| holstein | i personally started doing *much* better when i went linux, and made windows conform | 21:32 |
| holstein | adding windows in virtualbox on well supported linux hardware, for example | 21:32 |
| holstein | otherwise, it just puts a large burden on the user | 21:33 |
| karox3 | I may try that, although from what you were saying, my hardware may be my first hurdle in getting linux running | 21:33 |
| holstein | sure.. as with any OS | 21:34 |
| holstein | but, linux is typically well supported these days | 21:34 |
| karox3 | yeah, I've just never had so much trouble just getting even a linux live disc to load. Linux has always been able to overcome whatever crumby hardware I had | 21:36 |
| holstein | and, it still is.. the burden is on the hardware.. always has been | 21:36 |
| karox3 | now I get something newer and I'm blocked from the get go =] | 21:36 |
| holstein | you could just as well be trying to load OSX, or windows vista... for example | 21:36 |
| karox3 | well, here goes, time to dig in on this. Thanks for the help, I appreciate it | 21:36 |
| holstein | its a lot to expect of a user, actually | 21:37 |
| holstein | think about what process got windows on that HP.. a team of professionals testing and fixing.. the end user basically has to decide to take that role on for linux support | 21:37 |
| holstein | or, buy something like system76 where they have done that same role | 21:38 |
| holstein | could be as simple as needing to run nomodeset, and then install the nvidia proprietary driver | 21:38 |
| karox3 | thanks, signing off to give it a go | 21:46 |
