Installing Ubuntu and Fixing Boot, Software Centre Issues
Installing Ubuntu 12.04 =============== As long as you do not choose to screw your windows partition explicitly default installation should work fine. The problems starts later on however! I trust you on this part and proceed further directly to problems. Boot Problems =========== The grandchildren of linux have the same old boot loader problems that their grandmother RedHat 2-6.0x had! What happens is you will not see an option to boot to Linux, stuff directly goes to Windows or whatever else you have on you computer. Ctrl+Alt+T sudo grub-install /dev/sda Hit enter the problem should now be solved. Software Centre =========== The Canadian server seems to be sleeping so you may get this error.
