hello i am new to linux and i want to try out ubuntu but i dont want my changes to be erased every time i reboot
i did a persistent install on a 2 gb usb using the tool in the live cd i have already checked my live cd for error and it says that there are no errors when the usb persistent install tool finished i rebooted using the usb ( the live cd was no longer inside) the ubuntu menu that says "try without any changes to your computer install ubuntu check for defects" (something like that) this menu comes up fine but the problem starts when i choose try without any changes to your computer after a little while of loading the screen turns black and i get exactly this: [ 2.572013] ata3: softreset failed (device not ready) [ 3.408016] ata4: softreset failed (device not ready) modprobe: could not load /lib/modules/2.6.28-11-generic/ modules.dep: no such fie or directory Loading please wait...
