UBUNTU 11 Installation Error - Mount Problem after upgrade from UBUNTU 10 to 11

Copy and paste the following link into your web browser:

Windows 8 is 'old hat' now and you may have difficulty in upgrading, if it is actually still possible.

Your computer is old? There's (old) 32 bit computers and more modern 64 bit computers. An operating system is designed for either 32 bit or 64 bit.

What you can try is another OS such as Linux. Run it as a 'live version' to see if you like it before you install/use it. All you need is a usb drive or dvd that can be written to.
1. Download rufus
https://rufus.en.lo4d.com/windows

2. Download a Linux iso image - such as Desktop Ubuntu (it will download into the downloads folder)
https://ubuntu.com/#download

3. Insert the USB drive into your computer

4.Open rufus - navigate to the download folder and install Ubuntu onto the USB drive. (simply copying and pasting the files will NOT work. You have to make a bootable USB. Rufus does this for you.

You now have a portable OS on a USB.

5. Restart your PC and open the bios settings. Navigate to the boot sequence and change the first boot device to USB. Press F10 and exit. Your PC will then restart and run Linux from the USB. No changes are made to your computer.

You can either run Linux 'live' from USB or click on the desktop icon which says install onto computer.
............................................................................................
If you wish - instead of putting Linux Ubuntu onto USB you can burn the downloaded .iso file onto dvd and choose cd/dvd drive as first boot device.

Again, simply copying and pasting the Linux image onto dvd will not work. You must make it bootable. I you don't have the software try installing k3b:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/k3b/

It's all actually quite easy to do.

upgrade do not alter your system files/folders. In case you are installing the new version rather than upgrade, then there is a chance you may loose your files in case you format your hard drive.

Just re-installed Ubuntu and let the installation load the broadcom b43 driver. If it doesnt the firmware need to be updated.
Here is a step by step install and firmware update for the b43 as well .

I think, this problem happened because you are installing Ubuntu from the ISO image on your physical hard drive.

Here is the way around this problem. when you get to the option to unstall Ubuntu, press F4 and choose Safe graphics mode. then choose the first option on the menu:Try Ubuntu without any change to your computer.

If you still get the same problem do this:
At the prompt, press F4 and select "Safe graphics mode".
then press F6.
Modify the following boot line:
"Boot Options seed/ubuntu.seed boot=casper initrd=/casper/initrd.gz quiet splash -" Delete the part that says "quiet splash "" -" and replace it with "vga=791 noreplace-paravirt"

That will make Ubuntu boot onto the GUI. After logging into Ubuntu Interface you should be able to see an installation folder on the desktop:

Click on the Install folder. The installation wizard should come up:

Select the language and click Forward. Next Choose your location:

Choose your city, and click Forward. Don't worry if the time zone is not OK, you can change that later when you login to Ubuntu.
Next, you will need to choose your Keyboard layout, if you are in the US, mostly all your options will be the default. If you are not in the US, choose your settings accordingly. Click Forward.

Next, you will need to prepare the disk space, remember that you chose to use 10 GB of hard disk space for this virtual machine, so select the default option, Guided "" use the entire disk.

Click Forward. Next, you will have fill out, your name, your username, password, and Computer name":

After you have entered the info, click on Forward. Next, you will get a summary of the installation. Click Install to begin the installation:

The installation should start.

After 20 "" 30 minutes, the installation will finished, and will ask you if you want to reboot. At this stage Ubuntu is installed on your computer permanently.

Click on Restart now. Now Ubuntu should be installed and ready to be used on your virtual PC

Run or install??, on what type of PC???, from what media to what kind of media???, usually you download the .ISO file from the UBUNTU web site, burn it to a CD or DVD (the version suitable for your type of PC) than you BOOT the PC with the LIVE CD you created, and VOILA! UBUNTU is RUNNING... Don't forget grate power comes with grate responsibilities...

1. I would suggest finding out which model Eee PC you are using and the hard drive size & type (4GB SSD, 160GB SATA, etc...). If you have less than 4GB, I would probably recommend using another Linux distro, as the Netbook Edition of Ubuntu is pretty heavy.

2. Next, I would probably suggest plugging in the Eee PC (Software/OS installation is very power intensive).

3. Download your distribution (Ubuntu Netbook Edition or Desktop, etc).

4. Download a copy of unetbootin for your PC (unetbootin.sourceforge.net -- There are Linux & Windows versions available.)

5. Using a USB thumb drive (USB Memory stick), you will want to wipe the drive (format using FAT/FAT32 filesystem).

6. Run Unetbootin, selecting the proper USB thumb drive & ISO image from the Ubuntu website.

7. After Unetbootin is finished, close it and safely disconnect the USB drive.

8. Next, plug the USB thumb drive into the Eee PC.

9. Turn on power to the Eee PC & after seeing the initial BIOS splash, hit the ESC key on the keyboard. This should bring up a boot selection screen. Using the arrow keys, select the appropriate USB drive and hit Enter (Return).

10. If all goes well, you should be running Ubuntu Desktop/Ubuntu Netbook Edition as a live desktop. (The installer is a link on the desktop.)

11. There are several step-by-step guides out there, so check them out, if needed. The installer should be very simple on this type of hardware, etc.

Good Luck!

Hi,
I too upgraded from Ubuntu 9.04 to Ubuntu 9.10 using wubi, the Windows ubuntu installer. Everything was fine, and I even admired the beautiful desktop, added KDE. I was very impressed until came the time to reboot. Grub hung. I entered the console and tried to repair: To no avail.
I reinstalled Ubuntu/Gnome without installing KDE. All went fine until the time to reboot. It hung again. After several trials, I decided to go back to Ubuntu 9.04.

From what I could gather on the Internet, it has to do with the new type of file system ext4. If only I had the choice to use it or not.

Since I was using wubi and was not offered the choice to install the ext4 file system, I do not know whether that choice is offered on a full scale installation without wubi. You might try to find out if you can customize the installation process and not select the ext4 file system, if possible.

One remark concerning the amount of swap space you are setting aside. In my opinion that's too much: I have a 2GB RAM, about 300MB swap space, and each time I monitor swap usage I find it very low to nil.

Concerning Ubuntu 9.10, I will wait until the bug(?) is fixed before upgrading. Good luck to you

I hope it helps
Thank you for using FixYa.

Its GRand Unified Bootloader used in Linux OS.
Normally you get this error when GRUB is not able recognise the partition from which you are trying to boot the system. Make sure the boot partition on your system is recognisable by GRUB (such as EXT3).

You can try to restore the GRUB using the LIVE CD

1. Boot From Live CD
2. Open Terminal Window
3. type >sudo grub
4. then type : find /boot/grub/stage1
5. you'll get something like: (hd0, 1)
6. then type : >root (hd0, 1)
7. type: > setup (hd0)
8. >quit
9. >exit

Remove the Live CD and reboot the system.


Please let me know if you need any further assistance.


Thank you for choosing Fixya

-While booting your grub bootloader, press "e", enter the edit mode.

-Press "e" on the first line.

-(hd0,0) Change the last 0 to a 2, so it reads: (hd0,2).

-Press ‘b’ to boot.

Good luck.
