http://askubuntu.com – I am a newbie to Ubuntu. I installed Ubuntu 12.04 using a USB Stick and it was running all fine for a few weeks and this error popped up. According to one of my friend, the best way was to re-install Ubuntu. Being a non i thought the same too and after the second install it happened again, but only this time was much quicker in 3 days. and i don't want to re-install Ubuntu every time this happens. I am a complete newbie to Linux which means that i stuck at terminal. I know there are other people who fixed this issue in this very same forum, but unfortunately the answers provided just look lik (HowTos)

I'll try to make this scenario as clear as possible.

Laptop Specs HP dv6-2189la:

500 HDD 4GB Ram Intel i7

Personal Specs - Linux newbie running for the first time. Quite confused :(

I had Windows 7 x64, decided to start fresh new so I planned on formatting.

I know this has probably been done over a million times, but i am a newbie to Ubuntu all in general. Several days ago my XP crashed and decided to have my friend install Ubuntu. I am amazed at how smooth and convenient everything is....

Weird Ubuntu One issue 1 year 14 weeks ago

This is an issue that Ive had around for a long time, and havent been able to solve. Please help me out guys, I really need Ubuntu One to run on my computer.

I run Ubuntu 2D, On Ubuntu 11.10. When I start Ubuntu One, the install screen comes and asks me if I want to install Ubuntu One. I install it, type in my password and all of that, but the bar never finishes loading!

Hi there

I installed Ubuntu 11.10 onto a USB stick, and it works well on the whole. However, I would like a permanent installation on my USB that I can boot whenever I want. At the moment, everytime I boot from the USB it comes up with the install menu offering me two options - whether to "try it" or install it to my hard drive.

wubi install problem 13 weeks 4 days ago

I've been trying to install Ubuntu onto my laptop. About a year ago I used wubi and installed Ubuntu and everything was working fine except occasionally Ubuntu would not boot and get stuck on some "PCI Port Error" (Something like that can't really remember now). Anyways, I got frustrated with the inconsistent start up of Ubuntu so I decided to uninstall wubi on my laptop.

I just installed Ubuntu server 11.10 and the install went fine. This system is running on an Intel Pentium II board with onboard graphics.

I'm running Ubuntu 11.10. I want to install 12.04 (LTS), which I'll probably stick with for the next few years.

GRUB install error 48 weeks 4 days ago

Whenever I try to install Ubuntu, I get a fatal error that reads:

'Executing'grub-install /dev/sda' failed. This is a fatal error.'

Its the same as this, but my graphics appear to be running fine.

Also, I'm a complete novice at this and really need simple instructions to understand what I'm doing. I've tried booting from a LiveCD and a USB stick.

Hi I do not know if I am asking the question in the right forum but I need help .I am running Ubuntu 11.10 through a Wubi install.I also have Windows 7 running on my machine and both Ubuntu and Windows are in the same disk. This is what happened a few weeks back, my windows simply refused to boot up. None of the options seem to work.
