INSTALL ULTIMATE EDITION 1.9

[chadista666]

sir baphomet, when i input the username and password, it says, username password is incorrect, please type in correct case. what was that sir??

You're attempting to install Ultimate Edition v1.9, correct? Because I've never been prompted for a username and password during an install except when it's establishing the username and password. The error seems to indicate that the installer does not like your "case". Are you typing in all CAPS? If so, try using all lower case. I'm not sure what else to tell you, I've never run into this before.

yes sir, i try it in lower case.. i'm stuck when i'm here "http://forumubuntusoftware.info/download/file.php?id=2001&sid=5aa4d805f83c1058d215a8a4eb9cddd0&mode=view"

it says username password invalid

Hi everyone, im really a new linux user, i need some help on installing ultimate 1.9.

is there a thread here that indicates the step by step guide on how to install ultimate 1.9?

i read the topic about burning and checking your downloaded file and its all perfect and smooth.but..

when i boot into the cd,it started, it let me choose language and installation type,after hitting enter and after the linux kernel loads,it goes straight to GDM login menu, and when i input the username password, it says, "username and password invalid, please type in a correct case" i try it in upper and lower case,still have a problem. What will i do? Could some 1 help me pls?

Did you try safe graphics mode install yet?

Try just hitting enter with no user name or password. If you are using the 1.9 install cd/dvd then you should not have to enter a user or password. Hope this answers you question.

Okay... I'm confused.

That might be what you need to do if you want to use the LiveDVD, but I thought you said you were trying to INSTALL Ultimate to your hard drive. And as I recall, for a LiveDVD session, you just have to choose your keyboard layout and language preference... There should be no GDM on a "Live" session.

Soooo... Which is it: LiveCD or installing to the hard drive?

If you want to get rid of Windows for good do this:
Backup any data you have on your hard drive to a usb drive or disc first.
Download and burn this to disc: http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php
Before you go to this next step: download and install this: http://www.macrium.com/ and make an image of your Windows install and save it somewhere else besides your main hard drive.
Format your whole hard drive where Ultimate will reside as ext3.
Now, insert the Ultimate 1.9 disc and install. It is really not that hard!!! In fact with your setup you should be up and running in 1/2 hour.
p.s. It is really not any different than Windows. Just a whole lot easier and faster!!

If you want to Keep Windows and dual boot Windows and Ultimate do this:
Split your hard drive into 2 partitions one for Windows and one for Ultimate.
Install Windows on the first partition.
Then put in the Ultimate disc and install it selecting manual install on the second partition.
The whole process should take you about 2 hours.

Are you booting from a live cd/dvd to install to a hard drive? Or have you already installed it and need to boot into the installed session?

booting it from live dvd,no installation yet,btw, xp is my primary 0S and would attempt a 2nd boot for Ultimate,but this is happening,when i chose english setup for my keyboard and hit start or install Ultimate,i'll wait for about ten minutes and it will go to a login screen for Ultimate,asking for username password.

Good, try it on the tester machine first. Then go back and re-read my previous post(I had to edit it).
We are going to get you up and running today one way or another!!
