problem installing ubuntu 10.04 on new computer

[Fernando Cerda]

Alan,

 

I think there is a problem with Ubuntu 10 04 as well.  

Every time I turn off and turn on the computer it pops up a windows asking me if I want to install the Ubuntu.  I already installed it. I do not understand why it keeps asking me the same question.  I installed it like 3 or 4 time to see what I must have done wrong but, I do not see any problem in the way I installed it.

 

I tried another linux and no problem.  I think they need to fix the bug,

 

Fernando
