Ubuntu 9.10 No Kernel Found?

Posted Tue, 2010-03-09 19:14 by Spectre6

Hey everyone, I just installed the updates for 9.10 today and when I rebooted instead of bringing me to the black "choose which boot you want" screen (Ubuntu 9.10, Ubuntu 9.10 dev mode, etc) it just brings me to a screen talking about GRUB and stuff, and when I type boot it just says "No Kernel Found" and makes me type something else in.

Any ideas what could be causing this?

Spectre6.

P.S. I'd love to get screenies for you but I literally cannot boot it at all :P

I installed Ubuntu yesterday and its finally running right(I think.) I found a website for Linux users https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ListOfOpenSourcePrograms and im trying to download a antivirus. But whenever I try to download it I get an error saying that the End-of-central directory signature not found. Either this file is not a zip file or it constitutes one disk of a multi part archive...ect. Help please?

Problem with Ubuntu 9.10

Posted Thu, 2010-03-04 09:09 by gamefreak320

I just installed Ubuntu 9.10 and the installation went smoothly. At the desktop I went to try and browse firefox. It froze and I was forced to force shutdown. I return to my desktop and Ubuntu would show its logo and the screen went black. I had a wireless mouse in the usb port so I thought it was trying to read from there. I took out the device and forced quit again. I started it back up and it gave me the logo, then options to start normally or safe mode ect. I hit enter to start normally, then suddenly, black screen. I have forced shutdown a few times (I know not good) but all I get is blackscreen. I dont even see the startup menu. Please help.

Posted Wed, 2010-03-03 07:00 by tokijitza

I thought Rhytmbox was like a twin it Itunes but I guess I was wrong because I can't transfer videos from my computer to Rhytumbox for my Ipod. I can transfer songs but not videos. PLEASE TELL ME IF I AM DOING SOMETHING WRONG and how can I fix it. THANKS

Problem with using Ubuntu 9.10

Posted Sun, 2010-02-14 15:05 by Baihaki

I have loaded Ubuntu 9.10 as logical drive extension to my existing Windows 7. The Linux Ext 3 is in a partition 283.6 GB in size and occupies just 6.6 GB. The Linux Swap is 7kB in a partition of 9.3 GB in size.

When I boot up, the Grub shell menu is offered, I select the first Ubuntu option and it boots up OK. I then try and move the cursor, but after a short time period it just freezes.
