So im dual booting windows 7 and ubuntu 11.10 using wubi, and when i turn on my computer it takes me to the boot manager screen and i pick ubuntu. After that it takes me to purple screen and askes me which version i want to boot (normal or safe mode) i pick normal. After i pick normal i get another purple screen and then my screen turns off and i cant see anything.
:)
I have installed Ubuntu 11.10 with Alternate CD and created RAID 1 on Dell Power Edge CS1430. It has been working normal for 2 weeks. Recently I have install Virtual Box (I mention that as the only thing that has been changed for that 2 weeks). On the next reboot, I've been confronted with a purple screen.
I'm brand new to Ubuntu (and Linux in general) and have set up 12.10 to dual boot (along with Win7). Everything was going OK, but when I installed the updates and rebooted, I found that, after choosing to boot into Ubuntu, I got a flashing purple screen with no login.
I ran the recommended update and on the reboot would not boot up. Just hangs with a the colored blank screen. I did read about pressing the shift key during boot and it did go into recovery, but I don't know where to go from there.
Since I have recently installed ver. 12.10 and am just learning with Ubuntu I have no files I wish to save.
Hi all. I seem to need help.
Overnight, my ubuntu installation appears to have developed a major problem. It fails to boot.
To be more exact, the computer starts normally when switched on, but it takes ages for the GRUB screen to appear.
I have an old dell latitude d610 that I've just installed ubuntu 12.10 onto, and now
unfortunately it will not complete booting up. The screen flashes purple but then fades out and dies.
So I installed Ubuntu 12.10 64 bit in a new partition alongside windows 7 in my laptop with a swap partition and whenever I boot I see the Grub boot screen where I can select windows or Ubuntu.
Now the trouble comes if I select to boot Ubuntu then the computer takes me to a purple screen and I hear the ubuntu drum noise, but there is no login screen and I can't access the terminal.
Steps to disaster
Installed Ubuntu 11.04
Partitioned drive upon install and gave Ubuntu entire disk.
Several months later I need WIN7 as dual boot
What happens at present
Booting into WIN7 via F9 option at boot .. takes me to Ubuntu.
I've got Windows 7 & Ubuntu 11.04 installed on my PC.
When I install Ubuntu, it came with GRUB.
On GRUB, when I select "Ubuntu" on boot menu, I've got a purple screen during 16 seconds, and passed 16 seconds it shows the boot screen and loads the desktop.
Actually, I've got BURG installed on my PC but now, when I try to boot Ubuntu, it shows a black screen with a blinking cursor durin 16 sec
