Ain_Soph_Aur Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 I did a simple forum search on installing nubuntu, but didnt find any. So I ask insted. I got this nubuntu live cd. Yes, I have tryed out what they say on the nubuntu site, but still cant get it installed. I know there is someone on this forum that have installed it. But I cant get it to install GRUB. And it's kinda vital for the installation to complete :) So, my question is: Do you have to partison the disk yourself, of did you just use the defaults? And, one more thing, what did you put in that little button at the "end of configuration" site. That little button that says (hd0) as default... Thanks for reading and answering this topic. And if the answer is out there, pls point me to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SomeoneE1se Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 according to tomB the creator of nUbuntu he installed Ubquity before he started the xserver. Try that let me know if it works Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain_Soph_Aur Posted January 28, 2007 Author Share Posted January 28, 2007 This is how I do it: Boot up live cd Getting my wireless connection up en running by using the: - sudo iwconfig wlan0 ap xx:xx:xx:xx:xx - sudo ifconfig eth0 up - sudo ifconfig wlan0 up Downloading ubiquity with: - sudo apt-get install ubiquity Running: - startx Opening new terminal for running: - sudo ubiquity The app starts and I select the needed config and end up at a summory page where it is a button for typing inn the location for GRUB to be installed. I got a SCSI disk in this laptop, tryed to type /dev/sda, /dev/sda1, /dev/sd0 and loads of things. I even tryed to partition the disk manualy to see what the boot partition is on. Even made a small 20-30Mb disk for GRUB to be installed on to, but it seem to get the same problem every time. It might be that I config the partitions wrong, but that means that ubiquity is also doing the same error as me... Can someone pls tell me what partitions is needed for installing nubuntu. I can handle cfdisk as it is similar to fdisk... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr_Mischif Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 Why would you install GRUB on its own disk? I only use LILO so I don't know about grub, but I would say try installing it to the MBR, if you haven't already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jollyrancher82 Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 2) Execute setupcon. This should change the console font, and resolution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain_Soph_Aur Posted January 31, 2007 Author Share Posted January 31, 2007 Tryed to install it into the MBR too. but no luck. The reson I use GRUB, is that ubiquity uses it, and ubuntu installation use it. I have tryed to install ubuntu firste, then nubuntu, but that just messes up the GRUB already installed... Setupcon is not able to run... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
