Installing Ubuntu 9.10 in Compaq Presario V3430TU

05 Mar

Howdy friends,,

It’s been quite long since the last time I posted something that probably useful for others. Last month I totally hated using Windos XP because it crased frequently, the load speed was poor and other problems that make my head ache. After scanning my laptop with the update antivirus I was informed that there were viruses, malware and others. Exausted of problem like this I decided to installed Ubuntu 9.10, which name is Karmic Koala, even I doubted that I could adapt fast (never really used Linux for long time coz I found it’s hard to used :D )..

I downloaded Karmic fom Ubuntu website and burned the image file. Before installed it I decided to try using it first, but I counldn’t enter the desktop. After I chose the first option ‘Try using without Install’ the screen just went black,nothing happened, I waited quite long before I got bored and decided just to Installed it. The installation process a little bit different from the last time I installed Ubuntu but I still understood and could Installed it well. After restarting the laptop I met again with this blank and black sceen,,hmmm,,my head really dizzy,,i thought “why is it so hard for me to install ubuntu,,or am I probably never fated using it and only using windows” (silly thought don’t you think??) :D

It was already late at night but I still had problem even after I reinstalled it again and again with some differences I made from before. I gave up that night and decided to ask Mr. Google for the help the next morning, and thanked to Mr. Google I found this site. I followed the instruction there and I finally could installed and run Ubuntu 9.10 in my v3430. But there is one step that did not work well in my v3430 that was the step to enter GRUB menu. There you should press ‘esc’ key on your keyboard, but I found it not working in mine, instead I should press ‘shift’ key to enter the GRUB menu,,the other step was exactly same..

Hope this help you who want to install ubuntu but have the same problem as me because of your Intel Video Card.
