Help trying/downloading ubuntu
- by koolomwee
I can't try ubuntu. Every time i put in my disk and press try, it shows the ubuntu sign with the dots under it than it shows a command screen basically blinking saying that it closed and canceled applications belonging to ubuntu...
Than I tried to download it from the disk... same thing. Than, because I have windows, I tried to download it from the website and it worked. I rebooted my computer and went into the Ubuntu option just to find a blinking command screen again...
How do I get ubuntu to work?
What does happen (with the command screen) is that it shows commands that are blinking to fast for me to read the whole thing, and then it stops after like a minute or two of blinking. The only thing I do get to read is that Ubuntu commanded some applications to shut down. In the CD one it only has like 5 error messages, and when I reboot and select Ubuntu, there are over a hundred error messages. With the live-cd I have to shut down my computer to use it again. With the reboot and clicking ubuntu option it reboots by itself. I expect it to actually start up with no error messages.
UPDATE
I've been trying to start Ubuntu for the last couple of days, and I noticed on my last try that it said
"SIGNAL 15 RECEIVED"...
It also said that it's stopping Bluetooth and all other programs, and that its rebooting
Maybe that'll help a little with answering my question...
thanks :)
