Thread: Install troubles

-

i have decided try distribution , downloaded , installed 64 bit ubuntu 9.10 , having weirdness/problems it. first off standalone linux machine keep single distribution on. had slackware 64 bit on in when put ubuntu cd in drive , rebooted start install process. selected language , on, when checked disks didn't find other distribution on (i found weird) not big deal though because main drive (/dev/sda on slackware) repartitioned , formatted. go disk partitioning select 1 make custom partitions , when shows disks getting weird disk 1 (/dev/sda) showing nvidia_randomcharacters() , disk 2 showing /dev/sdb (as should). go through first disk , delete partitions (partitions showed not mount point believe normal) , go making partitions install though naming convention drives messed up. goes on asking name , password , computer name sharing once set , on, right before finishes tells me grub didn't installed (scratches head because of drive naming convention possibly install grub grub-install /dev/devicename) ok stuck booting off cd until can wireless working , on. finishes , boots in /etc/ssh @ sshd_conf , using same port using on slackware (22222, weird not big deal)ok df -ht , see weird stuff partitions mounted mounted different instead of /home /tmp /usr etc /target/home /target/tmp /target/usr etc. not logged in user thought, logged in ubuntu. reboot , select boot cd until grub fixed, seems take real long time shutting down , same rebooting, use showing doing boots splash screen , see nothing untill boots. @ sizes of files inside /boot , notice kernel naming convention different use , @ size , go in shock on 6mb 1 using in slackware little on 2mb think around 2.1 or 2.2. ok how go , fix drive naming convention /dev/sda assume expecting (re-install not problem don't want doing same thing) fix username user selected during install , fix grub (doing sudo apt-get install grub-pc didn't work did grub2 told use grub-pc system, , can kernel half size is?

b ecause installed easier way reinstall.use gparted live cd , delete partitions on sda.you can make partitions on witch install ubuntu or during install process.now when have free space should able instal ubuntu properly,meaning grub installed too.if still fet troubles grub read this see how reinstall grub.
