Also you may want to edit the GRUB menu to support the replaced quiet splash code for ever — otherwise every time you restart you’ll need to replace quiet splash again. You can enter a special VirtualPC option to your splash menu

I’ve successfully intalled Ubuntu 9.1 in Virtual PC 2007. All works well except… No sound. Won’t recognise the built in sound card. I don’t seem to have any trouble creating any other Virtuals; Vista, 7, XP, no issues. New to Ubuntu. Any suggestions?

All you need to do is press Right-Alt, (the one to the right of the space bar), and Enter at the same time.
Do the same to get out of full screen.

Hey,

Thanks for the post. This got me going. Now, how can I get full screen?

pss …
i had posted re: Ubuntu on VPC 2007, as the most recent posting was
Jan 8, and perhaps this isn’t completely off the road.
i thought i should add a note.
i created a 4gb virtual drive as a FIXED SIZE vd.
it therefore only contained 1 4GB partition. (DOS Formatted FAT32)
ram is set at 512MB.
upon booting to mounted CD (ISO), i selected English.
i then chose ‘Install Ubuntu’.
as Ubuntu Install automaticly ejects the cd …. the image is of course
released when Install asks to ‘Restart The Computer’ .

i have known of a little trick re: anything LINUS.
you MUST have a DOS … (?!? yup DOS!) formatted partition as partition 1
on drive 1, before you begin installation. having created a 4 gb part,
formatted (FAT32) by loading a win98boot.ima for floppy, Ubuntu 9 installed using ONLY GUI and not even 1 keystroke at a ‘Command Prompt’.
! ;-}
ps … allow partitioner to allocate 100% … automagically …

Hi folks,

I finally made mine work too. Thanks for the description of the Ubuntu installation. Some minor points I can share with everyone:

1. The download from Canada has some problems. I tried the US download and that was fine. I discovered the problem by booting the Ubuntu CD image in Virtual PC 2007 and running a test on the disk. Both 9.10 and 8.04 LTS had 1 file with an error. The US 9.10 was good.
I made a minimal attempt to contact Waterloo and/or Telus about the problem (just to soothe my concsience) but I didn’t succeed. Maybe someone there will read this post.

2. I still have to figure out how to increase my screen resolution. It sounds like the job involves editing a boot file and making finicky changes. I guess that describes pretty much everything you do in Linux (just kidding – I hope).
I eat Windows and DOS for breakfast. Linux is foreign food and it just takes me a lot longer to get something done.

3. This may be a dumb comment, but make sure you DON’T “Release the Ubuntu disk image” after installation has completed. I did, and that was the wrong thing – had to reinstall again.

Thanks,
Bill
