Title:
Can't install Ubuntu on my computer
Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
Won't Fix
Bug description:
I originally had a windows computer and then I did a flash drive dual
boot for a bit. One day I had to re-download Ubuntu, but then it
cleared my Windows hard drive completely. I don't want to be on
windows anymore, so that's okay with me. I just want to be able to
work in Ubuntu. The main issue is when I restart my computer after
installing Ubuntu from the GRUB menu I now get from restarting, it
doesn't give me the option to use Ubuntu. Only 1. Try Ubuntu without
installing 2. Install Ubuntu 3. DEM Install, and 4. Check disc for
defects. When I first dual booted it let me install, and then I
restarted and then I could continue in Ubuntu. The option would change
from install Ubuntu, to just Ubuntu, now it no longer does that. Is
there a way I have to partition my hard drive or do I just have to
keep trying Ubuntu without installing. I really don't want to have to
keep doing that, because then I'll just lose my data each reboot. This
is totally my fault, for installing Ubuntu and erasing a disk, I just
want to be able to use install Ubuntu and use it continuously. Any
help would be appreciated.
I tried the lsb and and the package version in terminal, but both said
I didn't have any.
