Christopher M. Penalver, problem! I clicked on the link. It took me to a site to download images. I chose the 13.10 Desktop Image, PC (Intel x86).
Created DVD from ISO image and rebooted to the DVD. It did not give me a chance to test it as live DVD, so I went ahead and chose "comtinue", but without checking "install 3rd party software" as instructed by you. Minor issue: explanations under choices were not readeable, just blank squares in place of characters. Apparently the display driver could not render the font. Created new secondary partition but without separate /boot partition and proceeded with installation. Minor issue: I got confused by "Ubuntu One" (what is it, why email, what register?), but went ahead as a good soldier. Instalaltion proceeded, but got stuck at the end: "copying installation logs..." I finally gave up and pulled the plug. When I rebooted grub was messed up, lost entry for my trusted old FC3 installation on the other hard disk. But I hope I can fix that. Booted into 13.10, but to a completely unfamiliar desktop and an extremely slow system. Finally I found the way to shut down the system normally, without pulling the plug. After that I rebooted into 13.04 whose grub entry was not lost. Now I can write this report. So we are still at STEP ONE. Can you please help? btw, what is PPA? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1184165 Title: 03f0:1205 Scanner does not work: Simple scan gives a device busy error To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1184165/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
