it was kinda slow
[A]nother newbie, trying to install ubuntu in vmware. no luck so far. i have a fairly new laptop with an nvidia gpu, but i cant even get into grub after installing it (completely hangs)
astroboy: also, if it's available for 32bit (i doubt it is) there isn't a 64bit version - so as a result you probably want the 32bit version. most 32bit apps will run, but may not be as snappy as they would in 64bit.
here is the log after installing it
anyone knows if there is a workaround or something?
zykotick9: I think I still have a 64bit machine at home.
zykotick9: it's 1/3 of a year old.
astroboy: "apt-cache policy packagename" might be what you want. also, some packages have a 32/64 issue, and that will certainly show up here.
astroboy: but the /current/ (version number) is what you want.
zykotick9: I checked. It shows both.
zykotick9: It means it is installing i386 one.
astroboy: that's what i'm thinking, and i'm curious how you got those version numbers. on trusty, i have "Linux version 3.13.0-46-generic (buildd@kbuilder) (gcc version 4.8.2 (Ubuntu 4.8.2-19ubuntu1) ) #72-Ubuntu SMP Thu Jan 25 22:51:15 UTC 2015"
ok i need to get home but i could use help installing lubuntu
zykotick9: Oh, I downloaded that repo and got the version numbers from the terminal
