![]() Off the top of my head, these are some of the things you need to think about or prepare for, but there may be others I haven't thought of:īackup your Windows system and backup your data. (I mean, fortunate that you have a legacy BIOS, not fortunate that you have Vista! :wink:) Fortunately for you, your Windows version is Vista which almost certainly means that you have a legacy BIOS rather than the newer UEFI BIOS, which adds its own layer of complexity for preparing a dual-booting system. ![]() Setting up a dual-boot demands some preparation, particularly the first time. A new thread will be better - a different question and a fresh thread. I think you need to think about what it is you want to achieve and then start a new thread asking for help with this. Here is a wikipedia article which is a little more up-to-date but which is about live-Linux sessions generally, not specifically about Ubuntu. Or some other way such as you have found with unetbootin. Or a USB flash drive where the computer permits booting from USB (only a few old machines don't). These days, Ubuntu ISOs are too big to fit onto a CD and a DVD can be used instead. It's titled "Live CD" because that was the traditional way of doing it. Unfortunately the Ubuntu community wiki page is incomplete, neglected and out of date, but I'll link it anyway: You need to understand what a live session is. You are simply using unetbootin to boot into a live session of Ubuntu in which any changes you make will not be saved. When I start the machine, I get two options:Īs ian-weisser and yetimon_64 have pointed out, you have not installed Ubuntu at all. Oh if you do open up a text editor in the filer manger keep in mind the file manger will have root privileges to. since you loged in to root you mght as will start xamp do the same thing ctrl+z bg then disown. ( now you have a file manger has root permissions be careful only mass with the files you create in htdoc and do not let know one touch your laptop will that fill manger has root privileges they can deleted your whole computer with a few clicks. ![]() side note chmod 777 make everyone be able to read and right from chmod has other numbers that can be usr after it that you should look up in your spare time.ģ.if u do sudo su(this will log you in as root in the terminal) if you start the file manger in the terminal click back on the terminal and hitĬtrl +z after that type bg then press enter. but I know you will want to use chmod 777 on what ever folders you put in htdoc when i mean folders i mean if you make a folder in a folder use chmod on it. I was xamp on ubuntu in a virtualbox I don't think chmod 777 work on xamp. when you log inn to your Ubuntu that is duel booted with vista( vista really vista.
