Gentlemen,
It's time for me to replace both laptops for both the wife and I. I have plenty of linux experience and have been using it for years, particularly lubuntu and other flavors with the LXDE desktop.
We all know the new problem with windows 8 and secure boot and all that malarkey.
I went to look at new laptops today and was able on several models to disable secure boot.
I saw these laptops at the Ubuntu website.

It says here that these laptops are certified by Ubuntu. It says that these laptops are certified. Particularly I am looking at the laptops with hybrid graphics, but how sure am I that these laptops will run well under Ubuntu? Is the driver pre-installed?
So my laptop's hard drive failed two days ago and I bought a new one. Since I no longer have to worry about keeping the partitions that Asus put on it and the copy of the Windows 7 OS in its backup partition I decided to learn how to partition a hard drive and install Ubuntu side-by-side with Windows 7. So I made three partitions on a 500GB hard drive.
hi friends,
Iam having 8o GB hard drive and i created 4 partition,
in c: windows vista (20GB)
in d:software (20GB)
in e:songs (20GB)
in f:movies (20GB)
I really bored with windows and i tried to install ubuntu 11.04
i formated c drive and installed ubuntu 11.04 in it.
after booting, i cant access (mount) d,e,f drives.
it shows "lost+found" error.
Hi I am a noob and I have no idea what I am doing. I just started using UBUNTU 12.10 and I do like the interface very much. I am not savy with the hip lingo of linux, so spare me the who I know what I am talking about.
I need help, I need to figure out why both of my hard drives won't "mount".
i installed lubuntu and i dont like it. i did a clean update to lubuntu rather than making it dual. now when i want to go back to windows it wont work like i put the windows vista cd in and it wont load and it just load lubuntu back and i know for a fact that the cd works just fine. i dont know what to do??
I prefer Ubuntu to work on, but for some applications for school, I need windows. I've done some research and have a few problems:
1) I only have one hard drive which is formatted as ext4, not ntfs.
Hi All,
I installed ubuntu alongside with windows 7 but I am not getting the option for ubuntu in the windows boot loader.
I have a 320 gb hard disk:
C: drive - 40 gb windows has been installed on this
D and E drives - 250 gb used for data
F: drive - 15 gb firstly formatted as NTFS but used gparted to change the filesyste. This is the partition I used to install ubuntu.
This is my first post on this forum :)
I posted this on the linux.com forum but got no reply so here we go.
