I am a newbie to Ubuntu and Linux in general and I am having extreme trouble installing Xubuntu on my computer. The computer I am attempting to install on is a Gateway with Windows XP Home Edition 2002 Service Pack 3 and has an Intel Pentium 4 processor. The CD I have with Xubuntu on works perfectly fine, and I know this because I have tested it on another machine.
I am going to assume Xubuntu is the best choice in my situation.
Kubuntu 12.04 worked fine on an older computer, but it was evident that 12.10 was too much for it. So, I decided to put Xubuntu on instead, and it loads faster, but it's Xubuntu 12.04.
Now, I am trying to upgrade to 12.10, and I don't see the option to do this.
Hello, i buy a new Computer and i want to use Xubuntu. I downloaded Xubuntu 12.04 64 Bit Desktop. If i try to boot from Live CD my Screen wents with bright colors and reboot what can i do? Currently i have windows 7 64 bit installed wich works without problems.
well here is the problem i turn on the computer the bootloader comes up i select the latest ubuntu on top then it says something about not bring able to ensble graphics turbo but that has been thete for ages and it worked fine and then it gets to the screen where it says xubuntu 12.04 wit 4dots below the first3 go away but the fourth stays and ti never starts up any suggestions?
I'm newbie with ubuntu, I tried to install ubuntu, at the beginning xubuntu work for the first upgrade to xubuntu 12.04, but after the reboot, no winxp media center ether Xubuntu won't start and I have a screen Ctrl+Alt+Del nothing else. I read a little about, maybe the sata enabled on the bios.
Well i installed Xubuntu on my system having a dual boot with Xubuntu and windows xp but when i select to boot on Xubuntu it freezes and gets a message saying that the file hal.dll in system32 cant be found. Before showing me this message i tryed to uninstall the Xubuntu inside from windows xp because several problems showed up after installing Xubuntu.
I tried upgrading the Ubuntu on my trusty netbook and found 11.10 was way too slow. So I switched to xubuntu by installing the xubuntu-desktop package and then following the crazy instructions here : http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purexfce
Now when I try to start up I get the xubuntu load-screen.
I got windows xp and xubuntu 12.10, which are installed alongside on the harddrive and it uses the usual boot manager (GRUB) so I can choose which one to use. Then, I ran out of space disk in xubuntu and I believe that I literally have zero space. but after turning on computer again, xubuntu could not load and it gave a black screen saying 'checking battery state' and it lasted like forever.
This is a fresh install of Xubuntu 12.04. Everything worked fine at first; problem started after I updated. Now, the startup splash screen never goes away (the blue picture); the panel loads and works fine, but anything that appears on the screen where the desktop should be just stays there -- menu, windows, etc. -- after it's closed.
