Ubuntu can't boot OCELOT LUCID II more details

Sun May 20 18:25:30 UTC 2012

Good afternoon,

From what I know or understand, there is no way to stop for VGA. I'm sorry I cannot be of more help right now. Thanks! Have a great week!

Since you are new with Linux, you printable don't know about Lubuntu, which would be your best option for doing this. Ubuntu/Kubuntu are resource-hungry. For this reason, I do not recommend installing these on an old computer or laptop. Xubuntu will work, since XFCE is not resource-hungry. Allow me to introduce Lubuntu to you, to make things even more complicated. Lubuntu uses the LXDE desktop environment, which is extremely lightweight, and is not resource-hungry at all. Lubuntu is known for working on laptops/computers so old that Windows doesn't even work anymore on them. You can install Lubuntu alongside Windows ME, or completely erase the hard drive and install Lubuntu, allowing Lubuntu to take up the whole drive. I think I've made this email long enough for now. Sorry :) Thanks!

>>> Good morning, Tobias. Very good questions you have. I think I can answer the first half-way, and I am sure I can answer your second question. Do you get past the boot screen with Oneiric and Lucid? In the boot screen (GRUB), to boot into different operating systems (different versions of Ubuntu/Kubuntu/Xubuntu/etc, Windows or other OS), when inside GRUB, select between                         the different operating systems by using the down and up keys on the keyboard. Then, press the enter/return key on the keyboard to boot the selected operating system. Do you know this is a                         VGA problem? If so, I have no clue how to solve this, unless you install drivers for VGA. If you install VGA driver software, you are installing this inside the operating system, not GRUB. Therefore, if this is a GRUB problem, the                         problem will still persist with GRUB, even after installing driver software.

This is because other people on     the list can see my emails and if I say something wrong or incorrect, they can reply and correct it. I also do it just so everybody is in the loop on what is going on.

It may very well be the VGA problem as you suggest. I have never experienced this, so I am able to give you information to the best of my abilities without being able to see what you are seeing, so if I don't solve the problem or figure out an answer, I am sorry. Does Persistent boot? Persistent is the newest stable version of Kubuntu. Thanks!
