Installation of Ubuntu system graphic tutorial

Oh, Imthatlazyguy ~~~~ In fact, I have long been planning to write some articles about installing the system. Before that, I vowed to write a tutorial for a friend who asked me (who forgot it later, now I finally wrote it out, but I just talked about Ubuntu installation instead of Windows 7 and Ubuntu dual-series as I planned.

Oh, I'm that lazy guy ~~~~

In fact, I have long been planning to write some articles about installing the system. Before that, I vowed to write a tutorial for a friend who asked me (who forgot it later =)

I wrote it out after all, but I just talked about Ubuntu installation rather than Windows 7 and Ubuntu dual-systems as I planned ~~~~ Windows 7 installation is not very easy to write. Ubuntu and the installation of W & L dual systems cannot be escaped, and it can be regarded as a result...

OK, the book goes to the beginning,

My environment is SunVirtualBox under Windows 7 (very good open-source free virtual machine software, now belongs to Oracle, the current version is 3.2 ). because it is a virtual machine, there is a difference with General installation, which I will mention in this article.

Set the startup and put it on a CD, just like this

Select the language first, and then the right side will become Chinese. Therefore, Chinese is no longer a problem in Ubuntu ..

Select Ubuntu10.04LTS for trial

This is a benefit of LiveCD.

Ubuntu is not much appreciated. it will be more beautiful after it is installed.

Typical Linux installation steps: select a language

Setting the clock. it is wise to unplug the network cable when installing Ubuntu.

Set region Time Zone China is GMT

This keyboard is also simple

This is because I have installed Ubuntu9.10 on the virtual hard disk.

Check that the system has been detected. installing W & L dual systems will do the same.

Many people do not know much about Linux disks, so they do not dare to install them at will. When I installed Linux, I split a part of the space directly in windows, or you can delete a partition. in this way, windows Disk management will see Available space.

When installing the system, you can use the "maximum continuous available space" option. Linux will automatically mount the directory.

Of course, it's not that easy to tell you now.

We choose to manually specify the partition

In this way, the Linux disk management tool analyzes the partitions in the hard disk, /dev/sda indicates your first hard disk (sd indicates the hard disk of the SATA interface, if it is an IDE interface, hda) /sda1 is the first partition on the first SATA interface hard disk. The representation method here is different from widnows. Therefore, you need to know more about your hard disk partition. You can select a partition point to change, and you will see a setting page with the maximum capacity.

If you select a windows partition, remember to leave some space, because Linux also needs an swap partition (equivalent to the virtual memory in windows) which is 1.5 times the memory size. I use half of the memory. after all, I have 2 GB of memory. However, this is also the reason why I cannot sleep.

When partitioning, remember to leave some space for the SWAP partition.

The entire Linux partition hard disk (excluding swap partitions) is called a file system. the general file directory I mentioned earlier is that the Mount point is equivalent to the partition in windows ..

/This is the Linux root directory. it is a top-level Directory. if you set a partition mount point to/home, the/home directory is a partition.

Only mount/here. If you only install Linux on your computer, we recommend that you install /Usr/local mount a partition ..

/Home is the user directory /Usr/local is generally used to install software, just like the ProgramFiles folder in windows.

This is a file system. without NTFS in windows, we use Ext4, a better file system than NTFS.

Set some user information here ~~~ It is good for beginners to use their own accounts. do not use root... Here we will tell you how to activate the root user ..

Enter sudo passwd root on the terminal

Enter your current user password

Enter the root password.

Just confirm again

Sheldon @ sheldon-desktop :~ $ Sudo passwd root
  [Sudo] password for sheldon:
  Enter a new UNIX password:
  Re-enter the new UNIX password:
  Passwd: The password is successfully updated.

The final confirmation, the boot program can be considered not to install, if you want to use windows to guide Linux

Okay.

The installation status is correct. we recommend that you unplug the network cable again ~~~~~

After restart, the system will be installed ~~~~~~~~
