what nexT while reinstall done

I do not understand. Did you complete an install then need to know the next step or has the install process given you an error you don't understand?

I am unaware of a 'red cd' but know 7.10 is Gutsy Gibbon which in no longer supported. I suggest you download a Jaunty Jackalope ISO (9.04) which is fully supported

Please clarify

It might be possible to upgrade to 8.04 and then perhaps on to 9.04 but 8.04 is still supported until 2010. 7.10 is no longer supported so you really need to upgrade in order to be able to install program or really enjoy the full use of Ubuntu. It is likely to need quite a large download though so you might prefer to just use the system you have but order the free cd of 9.04 from Shipit. These take a couple of months to arrive but 7.10 should be usable for web-browsing, office apps, cd/dvd burning and so on until then

Not same!
first think first, carefull! it can be problem, make you busy then black screen you see nothing, ever almost button disabled. first think step, i try to find notepad, default tomboy note here on top. first think step do open terminal follow the gpg --fingerprint. Look it different, i have result kind this:
benny@b3nY:~$ gpg --fingerprint
gpg: directory `/home/benny/.gnupg' created
gpg: new configuration file `/home/benny/.gnupg/gpg.conf' created
gpg: WARNING: options in `/home/benny/.gnupg/gpg.conf' are not yet active during this run
gpg: keyring `/home/benny/.gnupg/pubring.gpg' created
gpg: /home/benny/.gnupg/trustdb.gpg: trustdb created

...but the site say kind like this:
Retrieving the key in Ubuntu

Open a terminal and enter:

gpg --fingerprint

GPG will display a message similar to:

pub 1024D/12345678 2007-01-26
Key fingerprint = 0464 39CD 2486 190A 2C5A 0739 0E68 04DC 16E7 CB72
Geoffrey Hayes (My OpenPGP key) <email address hidden>
sub 2048g/ABCDEF12 2007-01-26

Highlight and copy only the numeric fingerprint: 0464 39CD 2486 190A 2C5A 0739 0E68 04DC 16E7 CB72 in the example above.

Different!

Nah, dont tell me what lucky... I do received red and yellow past years, may be 2007. I dont have what yours, and I'm not wait! its ready... I have 7.10 title, is that expired or trash?

Pass it on! yes I do try to pass... hmm

.....
oh it is expired? well i will do nothing -:)

Maybe order a new cd now - then try downloading new one
http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download
I try to get 2 copies so that i can keep one and pass one on ;)

7.10 is expired but might still be useful for some things. For Notepad try

Applications - Office - Text-Editor

also some helpful hints in this guide
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwitchingToUbuntu/FromWindows

But really a 7.10 cd is mostly useful to put a coffee mug on to stop the heat damaging the table or perhaps as an artwork or a collectors item or as a mini-frisbee and the Rainbow colours on the other side are very pretty too ;)

haha... just restart found text on start up "NOT OPTIMUM MODE 1360 x 768 Mhz" I am using SAMSUNG SyncMaster 933. What should I do? yes open new question. I try to set resolusi screen to match but when restart it back also network setting i have to type sudo ifup eth0 always when restart... like deep freeze? i dont know, but i need to pull out the text "NOT OPTIMUM MODE .... " urgent to make login box on top, i can not see login box because the text alert on top. I am sorry my lang. not english.

It should be possible to upgrade it to 8.04 but it will take a while to download the updates & the upgrade for that. Try

Applications - Accessories - Terminal

and into the terminal/command window/console type

sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

i think that should do the trick

Try using your own language. One of our translators might know your language

tom
thanks to remain me make me download, yes its already hv 9.04
is it boot now with that cd 9.04 skip 7.10 remove or it is auto? i hv dual boot ubuntu vs xp.
I hope no one get problem.

hope no one get hurt... if i do boot, is it auto upgrade or what? hm

Hi :)

Boot with the 9.04 cd. "Try Ubuntu without changes to this machine". Desktop looks ok? Can you use firefox to write in here?

yes, lovely launchpad, it refresh auto? i was try browse launchpad under xp and such, back to mozilla smoothy :-)

ok i will restart pc, am i correct to do now? it already write on cd. next is restart ya.

i wrote with others computer, i was restart with Try Ubuntu without changes to this machine and now black screen. what option in black screen? button power?

black screen for long time? restart with 9.04

the monitor is SynchMaster 933. what should I do?

try ctrl+alt+backspace

no, respond nothing with ctrl+alt+backspace

Yes, I see ubuntu logo and enter then shutdown now the o/s still versi 7.10 really without change. how to install versi 9.10 when the monitor is SynchMaster933?

ok cd checked:
#define DISKNAME Ubuntu 9.04 "Jaunty Jackalope" - Release i386
#define TYPE binary
#define TYPEbinary 1
#define ARCH i386
#define ARCHi386 1
#define DISKNUM 1
#define DISKNUM1 1
#define TOTALNUM 0
#define TOTALNUM0 1

black screen indeed? or should be black screen for progress bar loading instalation

Sorry, i have been away.

Ok, it seems that 9.04 is not good for your machine. Can you get 8.04? If not then we might try a different way.

Good luck and regards from
Tom :)

wah, it 82% run installing now, i choose safemode below try ubuntu ... (f4) and select option o/s. now 82%

Someone else might be able to get 9.04 working on your machine but i don't know how to, sorry benny. I might be ok with 8.04
Anyway, good luck with this :)

82% is good :)

Perhaps something in this link might help?
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions

it said 100% complete then restart and selection still ubuntu 7.10, now the environment still on ubuntu 7.10
where did it 9.04 installed, the alert said 100% complete

oya, where link to download image 8.04
let me try all hmm zzz it is early morning

http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download

You have to select 8.04 on the page there. Benny, what time is it where you are?

the time is 03:35 morning, should be sleep or lost tomorow day but...
where is the 9.04 installed? i lost where but the software said 100% completed install

When the alert said 100% complete did the machine show a different desktop from the one you normally get with 7.10? If so then that was right. On the top grey bar it has a firefox icon that should be able to get into here. Also it should have an icon in the top right-hand corner that says "install"

here jakarta look i hv tv http://www26.brinkster.com/b3nny/tv1.html
is it possible to see that tv under ubuntu?
top news here cctv captured bomber of jw mariot and ritz

I think you should try to sleep. I have asked someone in the translators group to have a look in here so hopefully by tomorrow someone else might be able to help in your own language. Sleep now and hopefully see you here sometime tomorrow :)

now I hv download all
8.04 on hand
i hate black screen :-(

Benny, perhaps one of these 2 guides might help

Yes! Nice, I will try
I hv experiences 10 years+ as windows programmer, just never touch linux :-)
goodluck for you to TOM!

From my experience point of view. You should not want to much at the time if you´re new to Linux. Just take baby steps. I did too and that´s building my knowledge of Linux more and more. By looking at some problems people have, you should be learning too.

And use search engine´s like Google to find answers if you can´t find it here. We are not the only users of Ubuntu. Ubuntu is Debian based, so perhaps you can find your answers in Debian forums or where ever.

Rob

@Rob
No, you don't understand, you read a little bit line point of my view.
I found answer here more faster rob.
And yes, I have spent time to much to watch monitor in lifetime. Now is black.
Press Alt+Ctrl+Backspace who knows? black screen!

There is 1 error. How to delete msg>\? how to remove one of version? I try to remove 7.10

solved

Hi

If you haven't removed 7.10 then please feel free to ask it as a new question
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+addquestion

I am not sure if Rob meant to post that to a different question but if not then i think he was saying to learn Ubuntu gradually. Sometimes people want everything to work right now but it takes time to get used to some things - so it's worth keeping Windows (or something) so that you can keep using that for the things you can't yet do in linux until you have time to explore and learn another small part of using linux. It's a good plan but i think some of your troubles need fixing even before you can use linux at all ;)

For removing 7.10 we have to find out if it is installed inside Windows using the Wubi or if it was installed properly on its own partition. Hopefully we can trouble-shoot through that if you post this as a new question :)

Good luck and regards from
Tom :)
