![]() I failed to notice there were five partitions on the PC's hard disk. The "partition principale" (main partition) which is highlighted is not the allocated one for Ubuntu. Yes, "My book" is an external hard disk, Western Digital. Or can the install CD help me get around the problem or fix it?Īnswer? : NO! it can't! I feel I am the only Zoriner on this earth to whom such a misadventure has happenned! Boohwoohoohoo! Asked (during the install) to passwd prompt when opening a session. I have set a password, took the precaution of first taking it down on a piece of paper. Guess what? I have successfully installed Zorin lite 6 32 bits. I'm thinking, is it possible to insall a Zorin 32 bits on a 64 bits machine? !!! Install did not complete and stopped! All I got was a big blue Z on the screen. Ooops! I was wrong! UnetBootin actually CAN load Zorin! Hope is perhaps not completely lost after all! Anyway, thanks a lot for all help and trouble. I am thinking about installing another Linux distro. UNetbootin cannot be of any help since it does not offer Zorin distribution. But it refuses to load Zorin and asks me to unplug the USB stick. This morning I deleted partition E, created an extended partition using MiniTool partition wizard, copied the Zorin iso file to H (USB stick), rebooted the PC. Reboot into Windows and install EasyBCD from NeoSmart Technologies. Whatever is left between '/' and 'swap area' create '/home' partition for all your Documents, Media etc.īelow the Partition table you will see an option where to place GRUB - put this in the /boot partition. At the END of the extended partition, create a 'swap area' equal to the amount of RAM (Memory) the machine has.Ĥ. Create a 30720 Mib '/' (root system) partition, formatted to Ext4.ģ. Create a 512 Mb '/boot' partition at the start of the extended partition created, format it to Ext4.Ģ. When it comes to choice, choose the 'Something else' option. Once you are happy with how it is performing, start the installer from the Desktop shortcut - don't select any updates during installation process. Explore things in live mode before you go any further and that it is picking up network connections etc. ![]() Next boot from the Zorin Media into Live mode - try without installing. OK, Partition E - Delete that and create an Extended Partition. Oh Noooooo! Drat and tiple drat X 1000!!! Again! Dreamlinux authentication fails! I have set a password I can type either on a French or an American keyboard (layout is different) and the authentication failed! I have tried editing but again it says this: "Target filesystem does not have /bin/bash/! I feel I am under some evil spell! Should I bring my PC to the priest and ask him to exorcise my PC? If I choose Windows 7 I get this on the display:įor advanced options press F8 (pour les options avancées appuyez sur la touche F8) A bit complicated procedure, but I think I have at long last managed to install a linux distro which I can put to good use. Well, since I cannot what I want with Zorin, I have just installed 'Dreamlinux' on volume E. What happens if I try to reboot from USB and try to reinstall ZORIN right from the start? Or is there somewhere a repair tool on the iso file? Autologin? what is it? And if I did install with autologin, how do I get out of this mire? And when I rebooted the PC, Whoosh, the Zorin install was displayed on the screen, and everything went to fast. I had previously downloaded a Zorin iso to a USB stick. ![]() I think I used something like "Bootl bare metal".I believe I had burned it to a DVD which I left inside the drive. When I first tried to install Zorin using a DVD, the install failed. It's a second hand PC, works perfectly and Windows 7 was already installed on it. "Kernel panic! _ not synching: attempted to kill init!"Ī zillion thanks to anybody who comes up with a magic trick to retrieve this blinking password. Now here are a few lines on the screen which caught my attention: "bash: cannot set terminal process group (-1) inappropriate ioctl for d" 4-Press Ctrl X to boot Type in passwd Set your passwd and restart your PC. LEt me just copy paste what I posted to "Ask-Ubuntu" on 24th January :Ģ4th Jan 2018_ 8:10 pm_ I have just tried this method: 1_Reboot your system 2- Highlight your image and press E to edit 3- Find the line with "linux" and append rw init =/bin/bash at the end of that line. ![]() I have unsuccessfully tried up to 100 times resetting it. I have tried all the passwords I am currently using on different websites. At this point, I fear I will soon have to delete the partition and do a fresh install of Windows7. It reads crazy, I know, but it seems to me as if Zorin created a password of its own and is now asking me to guess it. Lost? Not quite sure, since I do not even remember setting one. ![]()
