| [14:38] <bikram> is showing after I installed ubuntu over windows 7 | |
| [14:38] <bikram> windows 7 is no more showing in the boot menu | |
| [14:39] <bikram> does anyone have an idea what might be wrong. | |
| [14:39] <bikram> I installed ubuntu using / on the ext4 rather than the windows drive | |
| [19:44] <lasagna> I'm trying to install the latest release of ubuntu, it installs, and then when it goes to do a reboot it gets stuck on a "Loading Operating System..." screen. | |
| [19:44] <lasagna> Not sure what to try next to actually get it going | |
| [19:53] <bioterror> !nomodeset | |
| [19:53] <ubot2`> A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter | |
| [19:56] <lasagna> I was able to do that when I was doing the initial install. When I'm rebooting where/what do I do to set that? I can't find anything that will let me edit the commands.... | |
| [19:58] <bioterror> you have to press left shift right after BIOS | |
| [19:58] <bioterror> and it will prompt you the GRUB | |
| [19:58] <bioterror> then you edit it with the e button | |
| [19:58] <bioterror> and this nomodeset after ro quiet | |
| [19:58] <lasagna> I've tried that. It still takes me to the "loading operating system..." screen | |
| [19:58] <bioterror> should not | |
| [19:58] <bioterror> you have to be faster! | |
| [19:58] <lasagna> *laugh* Let me try it a few more times | |

| [20:03] <lasagna> is holding it down too much or pressing it too early an issue? | |
| [20:23] <bioterror> I dunno | |
| [20:23] <bioterror> I just booted a moment ago to memtest86+ | |
| [20:23] <bioterror> my kubuntu machine was unresponsive second time in a week | |
| [20:24] <bioterror> *under | |
| [20:31] <lasagna> ok. thanks for your help. Maybe I'll try installing a different version or something just to see if that works. | |
| [20:35] <bioterror> no it wont | |
| [20:35] <bioterror> as you need this nomodeset, atleat it looks like so | |
| [20:36] <bioterror> you can also boot livecd, mount the hard drive and edit some grub lines | |
