I run Ubuntu on several home and work laptops. I am an academic who spent several years before grad school working in telecom in Unix environments as a tech writer, and developer.
These days I am more a power user than a programmer, I haven't done much coding since the 90's but love the ability to script in shell and perl when I need to do repetitive tasks.

Boot failure with 12.04 install, fixed by upgrading from 10.04 One more note: I used one of the same install disks to install 12.04 on my Toshiba laptop. It worked perfectly. |

Boot failure with 12.04 install, fixed by upgrading from 10.04 oh and I did try booting in recovery mode. It worked on and off. I installed 12.04 4 or 5 times from two different disks, trying different partitioning schemes and the default and restarted it multiple times each install. Finally I installed 10.04 and upgraded. |

Boot failure with 12.04 install, fixed by upgrading from 10.04 As for the hardware... I got it for free and I know that the above listed specs are wrong. It has a Intel Core 2 Duo T5750 with 2 gigs of ram and a 230 gb hard drive. And according to system details it has an Intel 965GM x86/MMX/SSE2 graphics card. I tried installing the ATI Radeon HD 2400 driver, because I thought it might be a mismatch, but it did not install. |

Boot failure with 12.04 install, fixed by upgrading from 10.04 Sorry it works like a charm from the try ubuntu option. I used the defaults and manually configured the partition. I figured that could have been the issue. Sorry I did not save the error messages, I was so used to seeing them. |

Boot failure with 12.04 install, fixed by upgrading from 10.04 Well the problem happens before unity starts. And the machine in question has 2 gigs of ram (don't remember if I put it in or it came that way ---- it was a second hand machine someone bought with vista installed, I got it for free because it had become so virus laden that they had gone out and bought another laptop and just wanted rid of it). |
