[Meganekko07]

where do you find the wpa password?

[RATSCALLION129]

@Meganekko07 That's to do with your own Internet Router setup, nothing I can help you with there, try going to the router settings, manual or handbook.

[Meganekko07]

@RATSCALLION129 okay, well i have another question actually, i've successfully installed ubuntu on my windows 7 starter, but the wireless won't work, i've enabled it, but it says wireless not ready, any idea? i used ubuntu 11.04 natty narwhal

[iordanis11]

i cant use my mouse..

[RATSCALLION129]

@iordanis11 Try reinstalling.. Or using an external (USB or other) mouse if you're on a laptop..

[iordanis11]

I click use ubuntu and enter but its not working..

[RATSCALLION129]

@iordanis11 Odd.. :/

[iordanis11]

I do what you do and i dont know what you do in 3:12 !

[RATSCALLION129]

@iordanis11 That's just showing you the size of the install, then rebooting. :)

how do you uninstall it. i want to reinstall, but first i need to uninstall. it's an option to dual boot on startup, but I'm only able to access the demo version so i want to uninstall then reinstall.

[danieldvs100]

@danieldvs100 thank-you you helped me uninstall ubuntu

[RATSCALLION129]

@danieldvs100 Just uninstall, then install again :)

[danieldvs100]

@RATSCALLION129 thx but i have it already.

[andaninuman]

man, i can see u shooting the video! you monitor is like a mirror

[RATSCALLION129]

@andaninuman Haha, indeed.. There wasn't much else to do in this case, as you can't screen record the bootup sequence.

Glossy laptop screen ;)

nice video! 5/5.

BTW: I have a difficult question: I installed ubuntu with wubi, and wubi installed ubuntu on the wrong HDD, it had to install it on a 1 TB HDD, but it was installed on an other strange place. Does anyone know how i can change the install directory to that 1TB HDD? T.I.A. please answer soon, because i cant enjoy ubuntu because there's no diskspace, so i can't install drivers so i can enable those cool 3D effects :P

[RATSCALLION129]

@GTAgamer07 Thanks :D

As for your question... You're probably going to have to uninstall it from that (using the add/remove programs utility in Windows) and then reinstall.. Noting that when you install on one of the first steps the 'Install Directory,' and change that appropriately. Good luck :)

[SharkyRocks720]

oh wait u already have the wubi installer there srry

[RATSCALLION129]

That's fine :)

[SharkyRocks720]

you could just download wubi off of cnet. btw great vid

[RATSCALLION129]

Thanks! By the way, I recommend, if possible downloading ANYTHING from the official site instead of a 3rd party, they can do ANYTHING to it.

[W3zZy95]

Thank you i wish i could do something awesome for you too "thumbs up"

[RATSCALLION129]

Aww, thanks very much!

[W3zZy95]

i have installed now

[RATSCALLION129]

If you encounter any problems, let me know ;)

[W3zZy95]

sadly i did when i selected ubuntu to boot (after updates and all) a command like thing popped up and i din't know what to type in :/

[RATSCALLION129]

What did it say?

[W3zZy95]

GNU:GRUB or something like that :/

[RATSCALLION129]

If it's "Press esc to do something or other" then you can just leave it.. Try just waiting...

[W3zZy95]

ill install it again

[RATSCALLION129]

You shouldn't need to.. try just booting into it again. If you can't, then by all means do so.

[W3zZy95]

this is what happens i install it fine then the updates then when i restart i get this sh:grub> and i don't know what to type help please i am using ubuntu 9.10

[RATSCALLION129]

Hmmmm... Odd.. I think it might be a kernel error (the updates). Try restarting, when the "Press esc to do something" comes up, press escape. Boot into any non-recovery kernels. Whichever one works, just keep using esc -> boot into that until there's a new kernel. If none of that works, re-install and don't update. Though the boot into different kernel *should* work.

[W3zZy95]

ill install it again but on a external hard drive so i can sort it out thanks anyway

[RATSCALLION129]

Ok, good luck!

[H5Entertainment]

I must say, very informative :) And great presentation too. I probably will install Ubuntu tomorrow :D as i now know much better how to do it using Wubi.

[RATSCALLION129]

Thank you very much! Feel free to watch my others :P

Welcome to Ubuntu! You'll probably be wanting the latest version as opposed to that that's used in this video. This one's 9.04, the new one's 9.10.

[H5Entertainment]

I already got the ISO burned(9.10), going to install now i think ;)

[RATSCALLION129]

Awesome.. Good luck!

[manbrey]

I do have wubi installer. Now here is my problem. When I do go through the installation, everything runs okay except when it reboots it goes through the second installation and then it takes forever at about 95%, trigger something it says. it just stays at 95 % for a very long time. Do I have to be connected to the internet or could you give me some advice on how I can fix this problem?

Richard

[RATSCALLION129]

Ok.. That's really odd... You don't need to be connected to the Internet to install.. You need to have Internet access in some form once you try to update, but that's about it, and it doesn't do that until you tell it to.

It does take quite some time, especially at the later points, I'd advise just waiting.. How long have you waited before you've given up? Oh and what's your RAM?

[1337scape]

How much space of HDD does ubuntu use?

[RATSCALLION129]

As much as you want it to use. There is a minimum requirement of about 5GB ish, but you can go higher if you wish.
