How to Run Linux on Windows (Ubuntu)

geeks.pirillo.com – http – Yes, it’s possible to have Linux and Windows installed on the same PC – and why wouldn’t you have both? You can install Linux using a live CD or even a USB drive. You could also use something like VMWare Fusion, as well. chris.pirillo.com

  4. Take displayconfig-gtk (it is atleast in Ubuntu 8.04)

    sudo displayconfig-gtk

    change resolution etc…

    Then update changes in System—>Settings —>Screens

    I did this operation to my very old computer this summer and it worked. I could change resolution from 800×640 to 1280×1054 (my screen)

  7. get the nvidia drivers and config it from the nvidia panel, not the gnome one

    I too had that problem once, but it was because my vga cable was soooo bad that it didn’t recognize the monitor well xD

  12. Wubi is the prefferred method of installing Ubuntu on a Windows It’s sooooo easy my 5 year old niece could do it

    Before installing Ubuntu, I’d recommend partitioning your hard drive, so one partition in running Windows and the other Ubuntu.

    Just run Wubi following the directions and prompts.

  18. @BeetleChunks Chris often gets my nerves as well, prob cause he tries to be funny (who doesn’t remember the goofy “Call For Help” shows on TechTv?) but he’s very knowlegable.
    For Channel 9 (MSDN) to have him as a host, he’s good.

    Actually, linux hasn’t been erased if you load linux and then windows. The only thing windows did was to overwrite your master boot record. This is easy to fix. You put in an ubuntu CD or USB and boot from that. Then you chroot the linux partition that on your hard drive. Then you re-run the grub installer. Viola, your linux is back. Only takes about 2 minutes if you know what you are doing.

    only down side, can’t play windows based games in linux, now! if they get rid of this disadvantage, they would make a daring case for windows.
    well not only with windows based game’s but also windows based software, im not saying linux should go windows, just sayin, what if the could somehow get this windows based stuf to work on there system :)
