I have tried many ways to install Kubuntu but i failed . I tried installing it but the setup doesn't start automatically others started it by a command line I'm not an expert I'm just a simple user.
so i tried it by wubi and opened the wubi version of Kubuntu 9.1 to install the permanent one and I did the complete setup with the partitioning 2 ntfs drives (one having windows xp and the other own data) , an ext3 drive and a 520 swap drive..installation was complete..
in the boot menu I had xp professional and Kubuntu >> on selecting Kubuntu I got an error maybe part of it was "reinstalling may fix the problem" so i uninstalled the wubi version to try again after restarting>> it didn't work and finally i removed the Kubuntu from the boot.ini so I only boot to windows automatically
can I easily install Kubuntu or shall i just leave it? I liked it realy

How did you try to install Kubuntu (from within Windows, or booting from
the Kubuntu CD ) ? Could you use the Kubuntu CD to run as a "live CD" ?

It's always a good idea to accurately describe what you tried and what
the results were. This list is here to help you to (easily) install and
use Kubuntu

Maybe you should not start a new thread if it's about the same problem.
(dual booting Windows XP and Kubuntu 9.10 IIRC).

Good luck!

I tried it using the live cd I just pressed "install Kubuntu" then the start Kubuntu showd up and then a black screen. when i press any letter it says an error but before that I waited sometime until the HD is not writing and the cd isn't reading as well

When you start the live CD you get a page for language selection and a
timer counting from 30 seconds to 0. You should press "enter" before it
times out. Then you get a page with a menu with:

- Try Kubuntu without any change to your computer
- Install Kubuntu
- Check disc for defects
- ....

I would first try "Check disc for defects" to see if your install CD is
OK. If that checks out OK you can then try "Install Kubuntu" from the
previous mentioned menu.

Good luck!

I checked the disc for defects and it said : unable to find a medium containing live file system
so I tried to make a USB live CD i.e:install using USB flash disk and it started kubuntu and asked for a user name and password, i tried many but failed
how can i log in kubuntu?
