Re: [ubuntu-studio-users] Introduction Installation problem
Hm…when I created the live USB, I used the Universal Linux Installer thing that
Ubuntu has a link to on their site. WHen I did that, I chose, for the Linux
distro selection, “Ubuntu Studio Installer” from the drop-down. Maybe I should
have just selected “Ubuntu”?
Well, anyhow, I found a really great tutorial:
http://www.tweaking4all.com/os-tips-and-tricks/uefi-dual-boot-windows81-ubuntu/,
that walked me step by step and right now, as I’m typing this, Ubuntu and
Windows are coexisting peacefully on my HD. I used the Ubuntu iso, instead of
the Ubuntu Studio iso. Soon, I’ll run the big apt-get install command for
Ubuntu Studio.
If anyone knows this: what is the difference from bcdedit /set {bootmgr} path
\EFI\ubuntu\shimx64.efi and bcdedit /set {bootmgr} path
\EFI\ubuntu\grubx64.efi.
If you go to the end of the tutorial, you’ll see the second command prompt
(Windows) command, but the first one was from the Boot Repair program, and that
program said to use it. I did use the first command, but I’m wondering if the
second one would be better.
Thanks,
Tony

Welcome..
It could be the version you are using. I have Ubuntu Studio Live (CD and usb)
from Jan 2015 (latest version I've downloaded). Was the live cd, but I
installed it on my flash drive using the Ubuntu program for this. It works and
doesn't ask for a password. I've never had one that did - any linux live cd
and normally can simply install. I've run the usb on Lenova xtablet with
windows 7 on it without any real glitches...
I read this...related to Ubuntu 12, but may help...
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2049926
there are some suggestions down the thread...
I ran a dual boot system years ago (with windows xp and debian) and the only
recommendation i'd make from that experience was to keep a copy of your windows
master boot record (also on windows install disc) that way you can fix any
glitches that might come up when mucking about...
This was a long time ago...may no longer be relevant...
not very helpful info...my apologies...

Hi,
My name is Tony Bienstocke (pseudonym), and I really enjoy using Linux.
Recently, I discovered Ubuntu Studio and have been trying to install it. (More
on this in a paragraph or so)
I am trying to possibly get into the publishing industry or the movie industry,
and I thought that I could whet my appetite with Ubuntu Studio. I do have a bit
of Linux knowledge, and I hope this will increase it. And hopefully, I’ll be
able to contribute to this community as well.
The only problem is I’ve had trouble installing it on my PC, so I have two
questions.
What is the username for the “Other…” account in the live cd (in this case,
USB)? I tried “Try Ubuntu Studio without making changes to your PC” and also
the “Install Ubuntu Studio” and the OEM install. All three of them ask for a
username and password of the “Other….” account. I tried “ubuntu” without a
password, then “ubuntu” with that as it's password also, and it doesn't let me
in. Personally, I think this needs to be changed where there is no login for
the live usb/dvd. But in the meantime, what’s the creds for logging in? I
googled around, but I couldn’t find anything.
I have a PC running Win8.1 and I want to dual boot with Ubuntu Studio on
another partition. The only think that is making me wary is that I’ve read that
UEFI, Windows Boot Loader, and some other things can conflict with the
installation of Ubuntu Studio (or just Linux in general) and it's own
bootloader. What do I need to be wary of? I’ve turned off fast startup, and
I’ve also turned off Windows To Go. I am unable to turn off the Secure Boot,
but the live USB seems to boot up fine. (I can’t log in, as you already know).
Are there any guidelines or tips or even a step by step that someone could
provide me?
Thanks,
Tony

And hopefully, I’ll be able to contribute to this community as well. you should be aware of what limitations your specific industry may locally place on you. make sure you dont have the need for software that doesnt support linux, such as, protools.. we have many ample tools for most any work flow, and if you are on your own, and dont need to work with others, you can use the tools provided with no issue.

I googled around, but I couldn’t find anything. there is typically no need to login to run the live iso, or install. what iso are you using? let me suggest the 32 or 64bit version from here http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntustudio/releases/15.04/release/ that fits your needs best. you can also check the md5 sum of the download to make sure you have a good downloaded iso. 1.

Are there any guidelines or tips or even a step by step that someone could provide me? i would say, sure.. be wary.. but, lets address that concern. why are you concerned? you dont want to lose your windows install, and 'break anything. this is a fact.. that hard drive *will* fail.. they all do.. so, before doing *anything*, go ahead, right now, and make sure, all your data is backed up, and you have a way to reinstall windows, and/or, an image of that drive, and the recovery partition. keep in mind, though, this doesnt make things simpler for you, these are facts.. you are not promised by the creators of that computer that you can install linux, or any other operating system you choose. also, linux is not preventing you from installing it on the hardware, or, the creators of the hardware from supporting it... that being said, i suggest, plan for total failure, and you'll be ok, no matter what happens..you can refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI also, what i used to do, on a desktop machine, was simply have another hard drive that i would choose to boot from the bios.. this made me feel safer, though, its not necessary, for sure.. or actually any safer. in my experience, ubuntu worked well with my uefi hardware.
