Pen Drive Linux (Ubuntu) Won't Boot on Company Laptop?
-
This is probably the wrong area to ask this, but seeing as I don't have an Ubuntu account yet... My dilemma is Ubuntu related if you hadn't guessed that at all, and I have it set up on my thumb drive. I have no problem running it though. I can run the heck out of it on my home desktop, but now that I am on vacation, I have problems. I am using a laptop and I can almost boot it normally. It runs through BIOS and starts up like normal, but right towards the end I reach problems. I don't know how Ubuntu looks for other users, but I have a command prompt type full screen with the last line being Ubuntu's command prompt sytem's (Forgot the name) line. This screen just flashed on and off, on and off, on and off, on and off, and NEVER starts up. I had to power it down because it didn't look like it was going to boot. I highly doubt this since you are completely ignoring the laptops hard drive, but I wonder if it has something to do with the security. Are there any suggestions for the cause of this problem. Is the USB only usable on one computer? Are my graphics settings too high for the puny graphics card? Live the name of the sight and please give me an answer to this problem or I will be Ubuntuless for a week, and that would just be the end of the world.

Answer:
Since you do not mention seeing any error code if you type startx in the terminal you should either get the graphics working or an error code. That error code could be the helpful in fixing the problem. Good luck

sounds like a driver issue or something. is ubuntu 64 bit and your laptop is 32 or something? if not, then my guess is that the ubuntu driver for some hardware component of your laptop is not compatible. sorry :\ Edit: yes, this question would best be put on the ubuntu forums. The experts over there would probably know what to do
