Can I convert Ubuntu into another form of Ubuntu like Kubuntu or Ubuntu Studio and the system recognize itself as the new form?  UPDATE: After getting an answer and talking with people, I managed to gain a lot of information on this topic. I then wrote an article about converting between Ubuntu systems -

I have an Acer Aspire One netbook with an Intel Atom CPU and 1GB of RAM. I've been using Ubuntu and a few other distros on it with no problem for two years now. I have used both Ubuntu/Lubuntu/Xubuntu 14.04, 14.10, 15.04 and 15.10 flawlessly, with casual distro changes (Arch Linux, openSUSE, Linux Mint, elementaryOS, Debian). No problems at all. But today I decided to move back to Xubuntu, so I grabbed the &quot;mini&quot; installation ISO from ubuntu.com, wiped out the Debian Jessie partition and installed the system there. After the installation was completed, I installed the &quot;xubuntu-core&quot; metapackage and rebooted. But the system got to a &quot;Started Update UTMP about System Runlevel Changes.&quot; message and sits there, with a blinking cursor. I could access other TTYs by pressing Ctrl+Alt+Fx and even startxfce4 (as root), but that issue was really annoying me. So I downloaded a Lubuntu 16.04 ISO from lubuntu.net and went to install it. As I didn't have a DVD or USB drive available, I put it in a backup partition and booted the Lubuntu installation media with GRUB2, using set root=(hd0,msdos4) loopback loop /lubuntu-16.04-desktop-i386.iso linux (loop)/casper/vmlinuz boot=casper iso-scan/filename=/lubuntu-16.04-desktop-i386.iso config noprompt noeject initrd (loop)/casper/initrd.lz boot  But it also got stuck in the exact same message. The difference is that now I can't change TTY, but I think it's because it's a live media. Some people suggested it may be a graphics driver problem, but I'm not sure. I also saw a similar problem with some Mageia folks. Can someone help me?

I downloaded the iso file for XUbuntu. I created a live usb using Pen Drive Linux. I turned on my computer, booted to the XUbuntu installation screen, and selected "check disk for defects".  A minute later, it says that it found one defect. How do I figure out what this defect is?

I wonder if someone can help me? I am fairly new to trying to actually understand and use computers myself rather than just buying whatever Windows/Mac wants me to! You will get a giggle from my flawed attempts anyway :-)  I would like to start using Ubuntu on my PC, just got a new harddrive and did have a borrowed windows 7 disk as was planning to temporarily install it so i could get ubuntu. However I didn't have high enough spec hardware for win 7 (I think it is due to only 1gb ram, i do have 64 bit technology and a 1tb harddrive). I am quite happy to install 32 bit ubuntu and hear it is easier the use than 64 anyway.  So I have one other rubbish mini laptop (windows xp) which i am trying to use to get ubuntu onto a usb (laptop has no cd drive) so i can install it on the pc. First tried just downloading ubuntu 13.04 desktop onto a usb and trying to boot the pc from it which gave the message 'no operating system'. Then I tried this to create a bootable usb which sounded promising:  . However then it starting asking for my saucy desktop iso in order to install it onto the usb stick, can't really manage to find out what a saucy desktopp iso is, maybe a mirror image of an operating system, no idea why i would need that.  So in short, I'm lost. All I can think of is getting windows xp somewhere so i can get my pc to work and install ubuntu from the internet on that, or going to a friends house in the hope that creating a bootable cd is easier than creating a usb.  Sorry for my general ineptness and hope someone can help!

Do you have tips or a guide how to install Ubuntu in Microsoft Virtual PC?  I have found some (older) information, but I wonder if this is still valid. And it looks very "unfriendly".

folks.  I was recently given the task to remove Windows XP from some 15 computers in a primary school, install Lubuntu 12.10 on them (all too old for Gnome/Unity) and set up Scratch so the students can start learning coding in a month or two.  The problem is: although I've been using Linux for a decade now, I've no idea of how to set up a "master" computer to deal with the updates and maybe even broadcast whatever is happening on its screen to all the "slave" computers in the lab.  The only useful answer I found here was  regarding the use of "squid-deb-proxy" to deal with the updates in an efficient way.  Any how tos, tutorials or tips from someone who's done something similar?  Much appreciated. Thank you.  theguilster

I made a bootable USB drive of the downloadable Ubuntu 16.10, ran, and installed from it.  Fine.  Now after making some stock additions (like Samba, Wine, and such) I'd like to make a USB bootable copy of my particular Ubuntu.  It's still plenty small enough to fit on a stick.  Can it be done?

So I tried to install lubuntu 2 times now, and it seems that it won't install because at the very last of the install progress I get the error: Could not retrieve the required installation files for more ingormation, please see the log file ()  I tried a live USB and it just doesn't boot up.  Anyone know what the problem could be? I'm on a 64 bit i7 gtx560 system  Kind regards, Gilles

Is there a program that can make live USBs for any distro, iso, you get the point. I can only find ones that make live USBs for other linux distributions and none for anything else.

I'm looking to download and install the latest version of Ubuntu to replace the current version of Windows I had pre-installed on my machine when bought it.   I have some really neat features on the machine that I really am hoping will still work when I move over to Ubuntu.  Can someone please confirm if the below will still work and, if not, how I can get them to work:   The USB ports on my machine The ethernet or Network work port on the machine The HDMI output on the machine and finally, the built in webcam   Thanks Sam

I'm a windows xp user and I'm new to Linux I decided to install Xubuntu on my machine since it's quite old (512 MB ram and 2.66 GHZ P4 processor) My machine doesn't support booting from USB so the only choise for me was installing xubuntu from minimal CD  The problem is that I'm new to Linux ,the only OS I've ever used was windows So in the setup process every thing went fine until the partionning process  I want to install xubuntu next to my XP and I got only tow partitions on my 160 GB HD  So anyone who know how to partition my HD in a way that keeps my xp and my other files ? Thanx in advance :-)

What are the pros/cons switching from Windows 7/8 to Ubuntu?  I mainly develop software and play games.  I obviously don't play games on my laptop that's why I give Ubuntu a try. But the whole OS looks great and I recently discovered PlayOnLinux.  How big is the performance hit from Windows games?  What if the game supports DX11 and has tessellation, does PlayOnLinux translate DX11 to OpenGL?

The latest xorg update was a big regression for me on a dual display setup. Is there a simple way to revert to the previous version?  I'm on Lucid Lynx.

Are there still general problems using the Ubuntu 64bit version ? I heard that most of the programs do not work out of the box?  Will I notice a significant speed-boost? Until now I have always used Ubuntu 32 bit.

I want to ask a question I am a new user to Ubuntu and I am    going to install it on my PC and Remove Windows as I have read a lot    about Ubuntu and how it's solid based system and that it's more    stable and stronger but to be honest I am a bit afraid of installing    it as I don't have the drivers CD so Does Ubuntu need drivers or not    ? and how do I check that all the drivers are installed and updated    and work correctly ? and If I want to install a driver will Ubuntu    help me to search for it and install it ?  and will Ubuntu install the sound card . the internet card and the graphics etc. automatically or not waiting for your replies    cheers :)
