Installation of Ubuntu 6.06 (steps 1 – 7)
| English language | Norwegian language | |
| 1) Decide first which distribution you want to install. The choices are Ubuntu Desktop, Ubuntu Server, Kubuntu and Edubuntu Desktops. All these share the same basic system but Ubuntu and Edubuntu har GNOME as default desktop while Kubuntu runs KDE desktop. There are also differences in the included software.
The desktop CD is so-called LiveCD which allows you to try Ubuntu without changing your computer at all. The desktop will present an icon that lets you install Ubuntu permanently on a hard drive. Make your selection: Download Ubuntu Desktop or Ubuntu Server CD from Download Kubuntu from Or get Edubuntu distribution from Xubuntu is for older, weak computers. Get it from |
1) Bestem deg om du vil installere Ubuntu Desktop, Ubuntu Server, Kubuntu eller Edubuntu Desktop. Alle disse har samme basis men Ubuntu og Edubuntu har GNOME og Kubuntu har KDE desktop som default brukersystem. Også antall og sammensetning av programvare varierer.
Desktop CDn er sk. LiveCD som lar deg teste Ubuntu uten å gjøre endringer i din PC. Desktoppen har et ikon som lar deg installere Ubuntu permanent på en harddisk. Gjør ditt valg: Last ned Ubuntu Desktop eller Ubuntu Server CD fra Last ned Kubuntu fra Eller last ned Edubuntu distribusjon fra Xubuntu er ideel for eldre, svakere komputere. |
|
| 2) Burn CD You must burn the CD as a filesystem image on an empty 700MB CD.In Windows Follow this guide to burn the CD https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BurningIsoHowtoAlternatively get DeebBurner Free edition from http://www.deepburner.com/?r=download Start DeepBurner and select the “Burn ISO image” option to burn the CD. For the best result burn at slow speed. In Linux |
2) Brenn CD Brenn CD som filsystem image på en tom 700MB CD.I Windows Du kan følge denne guiden for å brenne CDn https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BurningIsoHowtoAlternativt hent “DeebBurner Free” brennerprogramvare fra http://www.deepburner.com/?r=download Start DeepBurner og velg “Burn ISO image” for å brenne CDn. Brenn med lav hastighet. I Unix / Linux |
|
| 3) Check the CD Make sure your PC can boot from a CD. You can change the boot-order in BIOS (pc setup). Recommended boot-order is CDrom -> Floppy drive -> Harddisk.Put in the CD, reboot your PC and select “Check CD for defects” option from the menu. See picture_1. This step takes a few minutes while it tests wheather the CD is free for errors. You should always perform this test for new Ubuntu CDs. Return to step 1) if the CD test reports errors. |
3) Test CD Sjekk om din PC kan starte (boote) fra en CD. Startrekkefølgen kan endres i BIOS (pc setup). Rekkefølgen bør være CDrom -> Floppy -> Harddisk.Put inn CDn og start din komputer og velg “Check CD for defects” fra menyen. Se bilde_1. Den vil kontrollere om CDn er leselig og fri for feil. Du bør alltid utføre denne sjekken for nye Ubuntu CDer. Returner til punkt 1) dersom testen rapporterer feil. |
|
| 4) Start the installation Now select the “Start or Install Ubuntu” option from the menu as shown in picture_2. It will load a fully functional Ubuntu Linux desktop. Nothing has been installed up to this stage – it all runs from the Live CD. You can now test-run Ubuntu on your PC before the final installation.Start permanent installation by clicking the “Install” icon on the desktop. See picture_3. The installation program will let you create and modify existing disk partitions.You must create at least these 2 partitions: The main partition should be at least 10GB in size. Swap partition should be around 2 times the PCs physical memory and at least 256MB. Filesystem type should be swap. See picture_4. More information about the partitioning in this guide… |
4) Start installasjon Velg “Start or Install Ubuntu” fra menyen slik vist i bilde_2. Den vil starte Ubuntu i LiveCD modus som lar deg teste Ubuntu i din maskin. Ingenting er blitt endret eller installert så langt.Start permanent installasjon ved å klikke på “Install” ikonet på desktoppen. Se bilde_3. Den lar deg også modifisere diskpartisjoner slik at du får ledig plass til Ubuntu.Du bør skape minst 2 partisjoner: Hovedpartisjonen bør være minst 10GB stor. Swap-partisjonen skal være ca. 2 ganger PCs fysiske minne og minimum 256MB. Filsystemet skal være av typen swap. Se bilde_4. Du finner mer informasjon om partisjoneringen i denne guiden… |
|
| 5) Finalization script You have now re-booted and logged into your new (U)buntu desktop system.Finalizations script lets you create a functional and nearly perfect desktop. It can install all missing browser-plugins, multimedia codeces and adds support for Java and Flash. It can also install many useful applications such as p2p filesharing and Skype IP-phone.There are several finalization scripts for the Ubuntu-Linux, but my personal fav is Automatix… Study also the manuals and guides below. |
5) Finalization script Du har nå startet opp maskinen og logget inn i ditt nye (U)buntu desktop system.Finalizations skript installerer manglende browser-plugins, multimedia kodeker samt ordner støtten for Java og Flash. Den kan også installere mange nyttige applikasjoner som p2p fildeling og Skype IP-telefoni.Det finnes flere slike skript men min personlige favoritt er Automatix… Andre guider og manuler finner du her nedenfor. |
|
| 6) Prepare repository file /etc/apt/sources.list. Repositories… are archives where the software packages are downloaded from. Modify the repository definition file (/etc/apt/sources.list) as instructed in this guide…You can also add new package repositories… to your new Ubuntu system.Refresh the package list (package index) in your PC by running “sudo apt-get update” in a terminal window or press [Reload]-button in the Synaptic Package Manager. You will find the Synaptic Package Manager in the System -> Administration menu. |
6) Modifiser /etc/apt/sources.list (repository definisjon). Repository… eller pakkearkiv er en server der systemet henter programvare og systemfiler fra. Modifiser definisjonen til pakkearkivet (/etc/apt/sources.list) slik instruert i denne guiden…Du kan også legge til nye pakkekilder… (repositories) i ditt Ubuntu-system.Husk å oppdatere pakkelisten (indeksen) etter å ha modifisert /etc/apt/sources.list. Kjør “sudo apt-get update” i et terminalvindu eller trykk på [Reload]-knappen i Synaptic pakkemanager. Du finner Synaptic Package Manager’n i System -> Administration menyen. |
|
| 7) Test browser-plugins and the most common file types.Start Firefox and check browser-plugins on http://webapps.ou.edu/it/browser… (see picture_5.)Plus take a Java test… (you should see a dancing Duke logo) You can also type “about:plugins” in the Firefox’ address bar and it will report all detected plugins. See picture_6. Perform a file compatibility test as well. Check if Ubuntu launches an appropriate application when you double-click a filename. Moreover study the file samples in your home folder’s /Examples… directory. And if you like, turn the volume on and take a peek to the future… My final tip: If you let Automatix install “Media players” then you should have the beep-media-player. It’s a very good audio-player and you can find it in /usr/bin/beep-media-player. |
7) Test både nettleser-plugins og de viktigste filtypeneStart Firefox og kontroller nettleser-plugins her http://webapps.ou.edu/it/browser… (se bilde_5.)Utfør Java-test… Du kan også skrive “about:plugins” i Firefox sitt adressefelt og det vil liste alle installerte plugins. Se bilde_6. Test også om de aller vanligste filtypene kan åpnes i Ubuntu. Videre, sjekk eksemplene i ditt hjemmeområdets /Examples… katalog. |
Notice that the “root” account is by default disabled (locked) in Ubuntu Linux.
Use “sudo” instead when executing administrative commands and programs. Please read this guide… and this thread… on using sudo.
