I just downloaded kubuntu 9.10 and right now I am on the live CD. It looks and works great but when I actually try to install it thats where I have problems. I boot from the CD and choose install. Then it does its thing and formats the hard drive and installs. It then says remove the CD, close the tray, and press enter. So I do that and it restarts like it should and then it says unable to find device press any key to continue. so i press a key and it says the same thing. Every time I turn on my computer it does this. Now the only way I can use my computer is if I use the live CD.
BTW: My computer is actually a notebook and is an IBM Thinkpad G40. Thanks! Please help me I really want to use Kubuntu it looks and works great.
ok heres what you said..
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo fdisk -1
fdisk: invalid option -- '1'
Usage: fdisk [-b SSZ] [-u] DISK Change partition table
fdisk -l [-b SSZ] [-u] DISK List partition table(s)
fdisk -s PARTITION Give partition size(s) in blocks
fdisk -v Give fdisk version
Here DISK is something like /dev/hdb or /dev/sda
and PARTITION is something like /dev/hda7
-u: give Start and End in sector (instead of cylinder) units
-b 2048: (for certain MO disks) use 2048-byte sectors
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo blkid
/dev/loop0: TYPE="squashfs"
/dev/sda1: UUID="a8611fc0-aca8-464a-8191-de610f93cf5c" TYPE="ext4"
/dev/sda5: TYPE="swap"
/dev/ramzswap0: TYPE="swap"
/dev/sdb: LABEL="TATE M" UUID="C057-C0E4" TYPE="vfat"
