So, here is my problem: i've just installed xubuntu 12.04 with
a pen drive. Everything went well but when i reboot the
laptop: xubuntu didn't start. I only get a black screen. The
only way to start xubuntu is with the installation pen drive.
The weird thing it's that it's not a live session: the pen
drive its needed to start a normal session. So i've tried to
make a fresh installation but it's impossible to to boot to
install, i end up in xubuntu normal session.<br>
Any ideas?<br>
Thanks in advance.<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>

<div>could be that you or the installer accidentaly installed
grub to the pen drive instead of the laptop's hard disk.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>clear the pen drive, put xubuntu on it again(with
unetbootin?) and give it another try. Best of luck!</div>

It would be easier just to boot off a pen drive, and then reinstall
grub (without reinstalling the whole system). To do this you should
then run:<br>
<br>
sudo grub-install /dev/sdX --boot-directory <i>path/to/boot</i><br>
*Where X is your hard disk's letter, probably an 'a' if you only
have one disk.<br>
<br>
Path to boot is the location of your boot folder - you can find this
by opening your hard disk in the file manager, going into the /boot
folder, and copying its path (Control-L).<br>
<br>
Hope it goes well<br>
