Could not load ubuntu after installation [new user]

Is the machine an Asus eee?

If so you'll need to download and install a special version of Ubuntu that had to be packaged differently to cope with the somewhat unique design

From another question yesterday ...

If your computer is an EeePc, there is bad and good news for you:

Bad news:
A generic Ubuntu will *not* work out of the box in your computer. The problem you're getting right now with your monitor is only an aperitif of what you'll have to face when you solve this little issue.

Good news:
All this can be solved in two different ways:

1) There exists a version of Ubuntu specially designed for EeePC computers named Eeebuntu. You may have a look at this at the following site:

http://www.eeebuntu.org/

2) Alternatively, if you don't want to install Eeebuntu from scratch, you may keep your current Ubuntu installation, but you should install at least one additional EeePC kernel. It's also advisable to install some other support utilities to manage EeePC characteristics. You may have a look at all this at the following site:

http://www.array.org/ubuntu/

If managing and install packages and software from command line falls beyond your knowledge, I'd advise you to choose the first option, as it will set you up with a clean and adequate Ubuntu install for your EeePC system.

Good luck,

Also a dual-boot setup following the instructions ...
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBoot
is much much better than trying to install it inside another Operating System, especially something as flaky as Windows. The Wubi install is like building a house on shifting sands. I have been told that it's possible to convert a Wubi install to a normal Ubuntu one but i lost the link :(

Good luck and i hope you have as much fun in linux-land as i have, particularly that corner of it that is Ubuntu.

If you are still having trouble with this then please post it as a new question. Only the most recent questions tend to get looked at so posting/reposting a question just before america arrives online gives the best chance of getting a good few answers.

If the problem has been resolved then please follow the link to the forum thread and mark it as Solved.

Good luck and many regards from

Hello Tom,

First of all I need to thank you for your comprehensive reply, and no it has not been solved yet, I do not have that system, Its Intel Original Desktop Board, previously i have installed the older version of Ubuntu as far as i remember it worked fine, except I had difficulty shifting my routine work there, so I came back to windows :(.

I am still looking for a few other helping queries to give it a try, if you can do so please.

I am greatly looking forward to get my experience of a Ubuntu world.

I am honestly very pleased about your reply,

Sorry I kept you waiting for my reply too.

Thank you very much
Best regards
Usman

It's all ok but this is an old question now already so it would be best to post this as a new question so that people see it at the front desk again

Is it possible a little x-term was present in the upper-left hand corner of the screen?

Hi ?

This is a very ancient question now. An entirely new edition of Ubuntu was released tailored to machine like this one and it has had a major upgrade too. So now there are 2 possible versions of Ubuntu worth trying. The newer edition is Ubuntu Netbook Remix often called simply UNR

EeeBuntu changed it's name but is continuing to develop and grow. It's now called Easy Peasy to avoid trademark clash and also because it has now grown away from Ubuntu in style quite a bit

Here are some other articles about trying other versions of linux on your machine. Here's an article about someone putting Mandriva on their machine

Also i have found the link for moving "Migrating" a Wubi install of Ubuntu onto it's own space on your hard-drive, this guide's part 8 section 8 should help

Good luck and regards from
