** Description changed: I have Ubuntu 12.10 64-bit that I got off the ubuntu.com main site (more info below). I have been trying to get Ubuntu 12.10 working on my computer, but have run into nothing but problems. (I need a Linux system to work in konsole with my university if I want to work at home as opposed to working at the school, and Ubuntu seems the most desirable, as well, I may eventually phase out windows if my experiences with Ubuntu become good) There are 2 main kind of windows that I've noticed. sometimes the top bar of the window appears in grey, with the close/fullscreen/minimize options in the top right corner, or those might appear as colored bubbles in the top left corner of the window. If the window is grey, it will almost never work. at all. the mouse will not be able to click on anything in the window, or close the window, or do anything with it. it just freezes. but the computer doesn't. I can still open new windows, and use the navbar on the left side of the screen. usually. not always. I've had the topbar not work as well, so I can't log out, or access the network options. I tried downloading, burning, and installing a new Ubuntu disk, and it was even more buggy (cuz the first I had stopped working, it would just freeze in "install Ubuntu" when the button is next to "try Ubuntu") things like the topbar not working again, so I couldn't connect to the internet, then when I was trying to partition the SSD, when a window popped up to create a new partition, I could see the window, but when I clicked, it clicked on things behind the window. it was all just being very odd and buggy. I'd very much like to get Ubuntu working, it has been a long and gruelling quest to do so, from everywhere I hear, it's the best Linux and I'm amazed I haven't just forgotten the idea. (I actually gave up a few times then kept deciding to try again because I really want to use Ubuntu) but I feel like one of those people that don't know technology, that talks like they do, but really ther just idiots and pains in the neck to customer service. *facewall* Other system info: - -10GB Ubuntu partition, with 5GB partition for Swap, remainder reserved for windows cuz windows is a bitch for space *facedesk* + -10GB Ubuntu partition, with 5GB partition for Swap, remainder reserved for windows cuz windows is a pain for space *facedesk* P8 Z77-V_LX -core i5 3570K -16GB DDR3 1600MHz -no dedicated graphics (yet) -primary hard drive: Patriot Pyro 120GB SSD - Ubuntu 12.10 64-bit, Legit Windows 7 Pro 64-bit -other hard drive, a WD 1TB Caviar Black- hacked Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit, and failed attempt at windows Ubuntu installer (tries to install but freezes hard on 'copying files' everytime... it's ok, I don't want it booted off the hard drive anyway.) Method taken to install Ubuntu: Got the isos for windows and Ubuntu (got the iso for Ubuntu right from the official website) burned onto disks, installed Ubuntu, created the partitions, installed Windows, then reinstalled Ubuntu to let it know that it's boss. (went to "something else" deleted the old partition and recreated it, and installed it on the new partition) there is no difficulty getting Ubuntu to boot, and these problems did not arise immediately. I had about 2 days of glory thinking I finally had a fully functional dual-boot. Windows works perfectly though, not a single problem with it, so I know my stuff isn't broken. I don't know the answers to steps 1 and 2 below, but I just got my copy by going to www.ubuntu.com, clicking on "get Ubuntu 12.10", clicking Ubuntu desktop, clicking 12.10 64-bit, "not now, take me to the download" cuz I'm a cheap, poor bastard university student type, opened the file that automatically starts downloading, and buringing that disk image to a DVD-RW (memorex single layer, if that makes any difference)
