Hi there... I'm a windows user coming to Linux for the 1st time.. as I wanted to try something new and lite weight to run on one of my old laptops... I was able to get BunsenLabs working fine.. but found the usage to be hard to grasp.. so google told me that this is a good "distro" to use for windows users who are beginners and also runs well on low power systems.
So this is where the problems starts... it seems to be working.. but kinda not working. All I get is a blank screen after much hard drive thrashing, I even get a small "wait" kind of circle icon appear... and I tried pressing "enter" and "f4"... enter dosn't seem to do anything F4 shows some text, that says "press enter" and pressing that will go back to blank screen and I again see the "wait" cirle dot thing for a bit... if I leave it long enough eventually the screen goes dark apart form a small underscore in the top left hand corner. ENTER and F4 do not do anything now.
Any ideas?
I am trying to install on a HP COMPAQ 6710b
- I downloaded the ISO fomr your website.
- I used "Win32DiskImager" to copy the ISO onto my USB stick
- It booted fine
- I loaded the application and had a play around.. seems ok and I liked the familiar feeling of it
- Clicked the Install Icon and followed the wizard
- The app asks me to "reboot"
- I remove the USB disk and roboot
