Ubuntu-9.04-i386 Installation notes

I have installed various systems n times before, and I am familiar with grub and ntloader, but I have never used ubuntu. I often deal with redflag and centos. Today I have installed the popular ubuntu, it is found that it is different from centos. It is recorded for self-check and can also be used for reference by visitors.

 

1. Before installation

Hardware environment: Intel x86 32-bit p4pc

Software environment: WINXP (SP3) installed)

Purpose: To build a dual system based on the original WINXP system, instead of a Virtual Machine System

System purpose: network server and software development platform

Installation Method: Hard Disk Installation Method

2. Installation Process

(1) official website download ubuntu-9.04-desktop-i386.iso.

(2) download grub4dos from the official website

(3) install grub4dos to the c drive. At this time, the C:/boot. ini will be automatically added with the grub startup Item.

(4) copy the ubuntu-9.04-desktop-i386.iso to the root directory of a drive letter (assuming F) and extract the Casper directory

(5) restart the computer and select grub to start.

(6) press the C key to enter the grub command line, and type:

Root (hd0, 6)

Kernel/Casper/vmlinuz boot = Casper iso-Scan/filename =/ubuntu-9.04-desktop-i386.iso Ro quiet splash

Initrd/Casper/initrd.gz

Boot

You can start Ubuntu livecd, and then click Install on the desktop. The remaining steps are the same as those of other Linux systems.

3. Notes

(1) The installation prompts "unable to write to the partition table, the device/isodevice has not been uninstalled". Solution: Open the livecd terminal and execute:

Sudo umount-L/dev/isodevice

Then proceed with the subsequent steps.

(2) how to install the C/C ++ development environment?

Editor: vim. The built-in Vim is a simplified version. Syntax coloring and backspace keys are not supported, which is inconvenient to use. To install the full version, run:

Sudo apt-Get Vim

Compiling environment: The system is not installed by default. Run:

Sudo apt-Get build-essential

Make, GCC, G ++, and other basic compilation links will be installed.

(3) root users cannot log on

Bash login: you need to set the password for the root user:

Sudo passwd root xxxxxx

After confirming the password, you can use su root to log on as the root user.

Gnome Logon: system> Management> User Logon> Security> allow root logon.

(4) deamon

Centos is easy to use and chkconfig is not available in Ubuntu. Ubuntu uses different service startup methods, with administrative tools as update-rc.d.

(5) Remote Desktop

Ubuntu uses the VNC cross-platform remote desktop and requires VNC client software for connection, such as RealVNC. Currently, I have controlled the Ubuntu Desktop on the Windows platform, but cannot log on remotely. This still requires research and setup.

 

4. Summary

Ubuntu is very popular. It refers to its graphical environment and recommended operations, which means it is easy to be accepted by junior users. However, its command line management habits are different from the mainstream RedHat series, and are not very popular, but follow the Debian habits. Pay attention to it when using it.
