Hey Guys I just loaded Ubuntu Desktop version to my home computer went fine and load and installed like a dream. great setup was so easy put in user name and all that at the set up. heres the problem Im having its at the user screen where you enter the user name o.k. the mouse or key board wont work ? at all the mouse icon is on the screen but its not moving at all. I plugged it out the mouse lead and plugged it back in turned it off and back on and turned on linux and still the same mouse and keyboard noting there working fine for windows. noob to linux folks so be gentle
it wont let me do any of that just tryed noting works its on the login screen notings working. I put in the cd and noting at all happened. I logged back into windows put in the cd and it said do you want to unistall linux.
Gah, you didn't install it from inside Windows did you? That Wubi installer creates as many problems as it attempts to fix, the number of cries for help that trace back to that rubbish is ridiculous. Not having a go at you, but at the idiot Ubuntu devs who push it. The most reliable way to install is to boot from the CD itself. If you installed through Windows, uninstall, then install it directly from the CD, or just play around in the live environment until you're comfortable (don't need to install to get a feel for it). If you haven't already, back up all your important stuff... Not that you will if you do everything the right way, but you shouldn't be playing around with hard drive partitioning unless you're prepared to potentially lose everything on there.
Hi ozmick Update on problem. so while i was waiting for help I went out and got a usb mouse just in case I even needed on sometime. yes I installed inside windows before and it installed a dream. except for the mouse and keyboard problem. the usb mouse worked on linux but still no keyboard to type anything. so I uninstalled it. so took your advice and did the demo live install what you where talking about. it started loading the cd. loading ..... it went into dos. {DR-DOS} A:/ and its giving me a list of Current options /mux BL=15 LEND=ON DELAY=OFF what next
