I just installed Ubuntu 10.10 after using Vista to reduce it's partition size and then allocating an Ubuntu partition and a swap partition. All this on a Dell Inspiron 1721 laptop.
I then downloaded Ubuntu 10.10, burned it onto a DVD, and installed it into the Ubuntu partition.
It installed OK and booted up.
But I couldn't get at Vista anymore (it only listed embedded XP as an option, and that returned an 0xc0000098 error).
Downloaded EasyBCD on another machine and managed to fix the booting issue.
Both Vista and Ubuntu now boot.
Ubuntu works somewhat. The Chrome browser works and downloads data just fine. But Ubuntu hangs unexpectedly. It always hangs when the screensaver kicks in (after typing in the requested password). It always hangs if I attempt a System Administration function such as Synoptic? packages.
I tried:
sudo apt-get updates
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo reboot
but that didn't fix things.
Any suggestions much appreciated.
