[kubuntu] Dual Boot issues

linux-howto

http://ubuntuforums.org – Hello and thanks for reading, I have recently tasted the sweetness of Linux and my sweet tooth enjoyed it so. Much research and many live cd's /installs later and I find that Ubuntu(Kubuntu to be specific) is so far my favourite though my dream it to build an OS from scratch using Arch though that's still a lot of time and experience away. My problem right now comes with trying to dual boot windows 7 and Kubuntu 12.04.1 LTS amd64. I have backed EVERYTHING up to two separate hard drives (because it's just that much data) and did a fresh install of windows 7 (which I'm willing to do again) Aft (Hardware)

Stories similar to [kubuntu] Dual Boot issues

My computer is a new HP Pavilion HPE h8-1360t (64-bit) w/ 3rd gen quad-core i7 processor, 12 GB RAM, and 2 separate 1 TiB hard drives.

I want to keep hard disk #1 as Windows 7, and hard disk #2 I want kubuntu.

When I went through the kubuntu setup, it seemed more unintuitive than with old versions of Ubuntu to set up this scenario.

In Windows, I used the default Partition Editor to free u

So, I have three hard drives. The first used to have windows xp on it, the second has two partitions, one containing just data and another containing windows 7 and the third is just data. I installed kubuntu to the first hard drive (replacing everything on it) with LVM.

[kubuntu] Can't boot into Kubuntu 40 weeks 20 hours ago

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.

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

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.

I have a problem with kubuntu 12.04 on my mba 4.2

What I want is to migrate from dual boot with macosx/kubuntu to single boot kubuntu.

kubuntu is working fine and I have deleted my osx partitions and I wish to resize my linux partition to use the disk space.

I have a dual boot : KUbuntu 10.04 and Windows xp. ASROCK motherboard G41M-VS3 and Transcend DDR3 2GB ram.

In my previous thread, I posted about the login issues which I had after the motherboard replacement. That problem is solved The present problem is that Kubuntu 10.04 doesn't recognize my Ethernet port where as windows xp does.

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.

I just got a new system and have been trying to get it set up w/ Win7 & Kubuntu dual-boot, but I've got a major problem. The BIOS of my motherboard (an Asus Crosshair 990FX) is strictly UEFI -- there is no legacy support mode available.
