http://ubuntuforums.org – HELP! I have tried all sorts of keyword searches to see if I can find a solution to my issue, and have not been able to. Here is what I have ... A Live CD with Kubuntu 12.04 for 32 bit x86 Verified the CD after it was burned CD was also verified on two other PCs, one running Vista and the other running XP ... The two PCs boot with the Live CD On the third PC (Sony Vaio) where I really want to use the Kubuntu, it goes for about a minute or so and just hangs up with the splash screen showing (making no further progress). I even got Linux Mint thinking that it would solve my issue. Same story, (Hardware)

Hey all, go easy on me if I'm making a noob mistake.

I am dual booting Win7/Kubuntu 12.10 using Grub2. All on a single drive, all partitions seem to be correct, using the 64bit version. I can boot from the USB key just fine but not from the disk after selecting Kubuntu from Grub.

After installing off of a live cd (via USB) grub was not working so I ran boot-repair selecting recommended fixes.

System: Toshiba Satellite laptop: specs: Intel Pentium Dual Core 1.7 GHz, mobile Intel 965 GPU , 2 GB RAM - with Windows Vista Home Premium.

I've been dual-booting Kubuntu and Windows 7 for a couple of weeks and I've been able to boot into Kubuntu just fine until this afternoon. Now when I choose Kubuntu's entry, instead of the regular bootloader I get the grub prompt screen saying "Minimal BASH-like line editing is supported.", etc.

I am using Sony Vaio VPCCW15FN/R model..I am running Live Ubuntu 12.10 using USB.The problem I am facing is that after booting, in Ubuntu i am unable control brightness.I can control volume using Fn key shortcut but not brightness..i got to know that its Nvidia Graphics card issue..Due to extreme brightness, I am getting lots of stretch on my eyes..Please help ASAP..Thanks in advance.!

After checking out some distros, I decided that the Kubuntu variant was the one for me.

Hello there,

I installed Kubuntu 12.04 from ISO DVD and it was installed on a partition without ID letter "like C,D..." and was showing many options on reboot but Windows 7 was the last in the list.

I'm having issues installing Kubuntu 8.04 on an iMac G3 (Slotloader, PPC). I installed the PowerPC version, loaded it onto a disc, and can boot it up no problems. But once I get to yaboot, everything goes wrong. I press enter to boot 'live'. Once it says, "Loading, please wait..." the Mac shuts down. I try typing live-powerpc, and it shuts down.

I just finished installing Kubuntu 12.04.1 on my laptop, which already had Windows 7 installed. The Windows boot partition is sda1; the Kubuntu boot partition is (or is supposed to be) sda6. The installation had a couple of minor burps that I didn't worry about. But now, when I reboot, I get into Windows rather than Kubuntu.

Hi, I just bought a 500 gß HDD (Seagate 7200 spin, SATA), with the goal of loading my media on it, to be read both by Win 7 and Kubuntu. The drive would not format in Win 7, so I used Gparted in Kubuntu Live to try and format the drive. Originially formatted to NTFS, but upon rebooting windows, it said the drive was write protected.
