Troubleshooting

Q. My download is very slow

A. The torrent hasn't got very many peers at the moment, so download rates are limited. If you can download with a standalone torrent client with properly forwarded ports that would probably increase the download speed - if you do please seed for as long as possible.

Q. I installed ubuntu, but how do I use it

A. Reboot the computer, and as it's starting up you'll be presented with a menu - select Ubuntu from that menu and press enter.

Q. The installer freezes at the splash screen.

A. Try another option in the 2nd boot menu (GRUB menu). To see the menu you may have to keep tapping the escape key after selecting "Ubuntu" from the first menu.

Q. I can't login to Ubuntu with the username I specified in the installer.

A. At the moment, the username is "ubuntu", and the password is "ubuntu", irrespective of what you selected during installation

Q. How can I remove ubuntu when I no longer want it

A. Start the computer into Windows, and then go into "Add/Remove Programs" in "Control Panel". Select "Ubuntu Linux" and press remove. REMEBER that this removes Ubuntu and any programs or documents you installed inside Ubuntu.
