Contents. This guide is intended to introduce you to the very many ways in which Ubuntu may be installed to your machine depending on your specific use case. The official also covers a complete list of alternative installation methods for Ubuntu.
Requirements Requirements are basic! Ubuntu has been designed keeping in mind most hardware that abounds, so it is highly likely that if your hardware is not too uncommon, Ubuntu will work on your machine right off the bat! Nonetheless, you should check if your hardware works with Ubuntu and meets the minimum system requirements. The following pages are a comprehensive review of all Ubuntu supported hardware:.: Most laptops these days ship with an Intel or an AMD processor, which fall into the category x86/x8664.
These are officially supported by Ubuntu. This page documents these as well as all other processor architectures supported by Ubuntu.: This page includes a comprehensive list of Ubuntu-certified machines, including most desktops/laptops from some of the biggest vendors.: This page includes the minimal system requirements a machine needs in order to run the graphical version of Ubuntu. From the point of view of most modern machines, these are extremely basic.

Standard installation If you want to install Ubuntu on your personal desktop/laptop either sharing the computer with Windows or as the only operating system, this is probably what you want to do, and it has never been easier! The standard Ubuntu desktop installation uses a, which is meant to help you through the installation process in a very small number of easy steps. To get the installer and to prepare Windows to share the computer with Linux, you will need to do the following:. The LiveCD (really a DVD) is a fully functional Ubuntu environment, and it allows you to get a taste of Ubuntu on your machine by using a session! If you downloaded a DVD image (.iso file), you can burn it to a standard DVD (see and ). There are three things to do. (1) Back up Windows on a bootable USB drive.
There are instructions on the Microsoft web site. This step is a good idea whether or not you install Ubuntu. (2) Disable Fast Startup. Windows 8.1 and presumably future versions have a feature called Fast Startup. When it is enabled - and it is enabled by default - Windows shuts down in a hybrid state, somewhere between a full shutdown and a 'sleep' state. The dual boot manager which Ubuntu will install (called grub) does not presently (March 2015) know how to start Windows from this hybrid state.
You must therefore disable Fast Startup if you ever want to use Windows again after installing Ubuntu. Just how to do that is best left to the documentation of your particular version of Windows. But do not fail to do it, or you will never boot Windows again. (3) Change the boot order. Chances are that if you simply put the LiveDVD in the optical drive and turn on the computer, it will go straight to Windows and totally ignore the DVD. That is because the computer came with the hard disk ahead of the DVD in the boot order. The boot order in machines made after about 2012 is set in something called the UEFI (Uniform Extensible Firmware Interface).
You must edit the UEFI to change the boot order. Windows has a UEFI editor; how you get to it is different for Windows 8 and 8.1 and will probably be different again for 10. This editor is well hidden in 8.1, but can be reached by a series of steps beginning from PC Settings (the cogwheel) on the start page.
From there go to 'Update and Recovery' then 'Recovery' then 'Advanced startup' then 'Restart now' then 'Troubleshoot' then 'Advanced options' and then 'UEFI Firmware settings'. Once you have reached this editor, use the right arrow key to move across to the 'Boot' tab and then follow instructions on the screen to move the optical drive to the top of the boot order. It is also a good idea to enable booting from USB. On the Security tab it is possible to disable. It should not be necessary to do so, but if you have trouble getting the boot to start, come back and disable.
(Do NOT be tempted to enable 'Legacy mode'. If you do, Windows won't work at all and Linux will work poorly.). The hard part is behind us. Turn off the computer. Put the DVD in the optical drive and start the computer.
After considerable whirring of the DVD, the opening screen appears and you have a choice of whether to try Ubuntu or proceed directly to installing it. It is probably a good idea to try it to check that the hardware, and in particular the modem, is supported. When ready, click the button to install. You will need to answer a number of routine questions and then partition the hard disk. You have a choice of ways to do this, but unless you want to do something fancy and know very well what you are doing, the first option will be just fine.
Choose it and a screen opens with two bars of equal length, the one on the left representing the size of the Windows partition, and the one on the right, the size of the Linux partition. You adjust the allocation by dragging the inner edge of one of the bars. In deciding how to allocate the space, bear in mind that all Windows programs have to reside in the Windows partition and all Linux programs must reside in the Linux partition. Windows programs cannot access files in the Linux partition, but Linux programs can to some extent access files in the Windows partition. For example, Writer installed in the Linux partition can edit files in the Windows partition. Once the disk is partitioned, the installation is soon finished.
Remove the DVD, restart the computer, and you should be offered a choice between starting Windows or starting Ubuntu. Try one, then restart and try the other.
Alternate Installation You may not wish to use the standard LiveCD for one of the following reasons:. Your computer does not meet the hardware requirements, or the required drivers are missing from the standard LiveCD. The LiveCD is designed to support most standard hardware, but this won't cover every possible configuration. Or, you may simply prefer to install a more customized version of Ubuntu different from the standard install depending on your taste. Ubuntu has you covered in this regard, and towards this end you can use an Alternate Installation CD. Refer to the page for download locations. The Alternate CD allows more advanced installation options which are not available with the standard LiveCD.
Installation without a CD The new generations of laptops and netbooks are increasingly shipping without CD drives.

When it comes to installing popular Linux flavour, there are so many useful snippets of information on blogs and guides all over the internet. If you Google “How to install Ubuntu”, you’ll see what I mean. Here’s how to install Ubuntu: How To Install Ubuntu Summary.
Download Ubuntu. Check if Your Computer will Boot from USB. Make BIOS Changes. Try Ubuntu Before you Install It. Create Bootable USB. Install Ubuntu. Create a username, password, and computer name.
You will login with this user id after the installation is complete. For an Ubuntu beginner or curious Windows intermediate user, there’s no single, simple source of information when it comes to getting started. One thing I have noticed is that there’s a lot of technical jargon and sometimes unnecessary terminal commands in lengthy forum posts, but no simple “how to” guides, which I think might put some people off! A shame, when you think about how easy Ubuntu is to install, use and! Here we explain how to install Ubuntu in the three different ways that it is most commonly installed: (1), (2), (3) or without installing it. Download Ubuntu For you first need to download a Ubuntu.ISO CD image file. In this example we install Ubuntu version 15.10.
But it does not matter what version you use. We downloaded Ubuntu using a bittorrent client because the file is over 1GB in size. Using torrent lets you resume the download in case there is some interruption. Download it either way you want. It is important that you download the Desktop version. If you download the Server version it will not install any graphical desktop and you will have to add that manually. Check if Your Computer will Boot from USB The only thing slightly complicated about installing Ubuntu might be getting your computer to boot from the USB.
How complicated that is depends on how old your machine is, who is the manufacturer, and what model that you have. You might have to consult the manufacturer’s website for instructions if you cannot find the options discussed below. Here we provide general guidance and not specific click-here-click-there instructions for BIOS. For example, how to even access the BIOS screen varies by manufacturer and model. Most of the time you can bring that up by pressing the Esc key when the machine is booting. Before you change any BIOS settings just stick in a bootable USB Ubuntu drive (Below we explain how to create that.) and see if you machine boots from that.
If it does fine: proceed with the installation instructions in the next section. If not, continue with these BIOS instructions. It is important to note that you might have to enable virtualization in BIOS if you are setting up a virtual machine.
Make BIOS Changes You need two things to install Ubuntu from a USB: (1) corrected BIOS settings on your computer to look for an operating system on the USB before it looks to the hard drive for that and (2) a bootable USB (We explain below how to create that.). A bootable USB means one that has a bootable partition on it. In other words you cannot simply copy the Ubuntu ISO to the USB.
It needs to be burned on with a tool like Unetbootin, which. Note that with Windows you might have some difficulty replacing Windows with Ubuntu if the manufacturer has enabled Secure Boot. That is enabled by the manufacturer to ensure that you are using a version of Microsoft that someone has actually paid for and not copied. Once you figure out how to bring up the BIOS boot settings, change the UEFI Boot Order to put USB at the top of the list ahead of OS Boot Manager. If you have Legacy Support enabled then you change the Legacy Support Boot Order instead. Try Ubuntu Before you Install It If you want to try Ubuntu before installing that you can run it from the USB drive using UnetBootin (Which we use in the next section to create the bootable USB). Also the Ubuntu installation screens will give you that option too.
Create Bootable USB Download and install UNetbootin and use that to create a bootable USB. This will create a bootable partition on the disk and copy Ubuntu there. Trying to make a bootable USB drive yourself is otherwise complicated. Enter the location of the ISO file that you downloaded and select the USB drive letter or location. Install Ubuntu Once you get the bootable USB working follow the screens below to install USB: Pick your language.
Here click Download Updates while Installing and Install This Third-Party Software. Either way Ubuntu will download the bulk of the operating system from the internet. Look at the next graphic for an explanation. If you select the download and 3rd party options above then Ubuntu will update the repository, which is the list of servers from which it will download software. You can see those options in the Software and Updates screen after you have completed installing Ubuntu. You can go back later and add those that after the installation if you want. Notice that in this screen it lists CD as an option.
Unselect that as otherwise it will prompt you to plug in the USB after you have Ubuntu running. Select Erase disk and install Ubuntu. The Something else option would let you create your own partitions, which would be complicated, which you could do if you want to have a dual boot machine to be able run Windows or Ubuntu on the same machine. But there is no need to deal with that complexity as you can run Ubuntu in a virtual machine as we explain below. The Something else would also let you pick the second, solid state drive in your laptop or desktop to install Ubuntu, but that is a more complicated installation. Plus if you mess that up you can end up with a machine that will not boot at all.
Click continue to commit to erasing the existing partitions on your hard disk. Select the time zone. Pick the keyboard type. Create a username, password, and computer name.
You will login with this userid after the installation is complete. Now the installation is complete. Remove the USB drive and click Restart Now. If you have installed Ubuntu into a virtual machine, the Restart Now option will probably give an error message, so use the virtual machine software to restart the machine instead of here.
Now login with the userid you created. Create an Ubuntu Virtual Machine Here we use because it is free and works well. Creating a virtual machine is easy. The only complicated part is telling Virtualbox from where to load the Ubuntu ISO file, as that is not obvious. Download and install Oracle Virtualbox. In this example we use Virtualbox version 4.3. You do not need Guest Additions unless you find that the mouse does not work or if the Ubuntu screen does not maximize to fill up your display.
As we said above, if you are setting up a virtual machine then you might have to enable virtualization in BIOS. In Virtualbox click New.
Enter any Name you want and pick Type Linux and Version 64 bit. (It is not likely that your computer is so old as to be a 32 bit machine.) You do not need a lot of memory or disk space to run Ubuntu. But the more you pick the better. So pick maybe ½ of your computer’s memory and however much disk space you think you will need.
It will not allocate that space right away but will grow the file up to that limit. Select Create a hard drive now. Select Dynamically allocated. Pick the space you think you need.
How To Install Rainbowcrack Ubuntu
After the machine is created Virtualbox will return you to the main screen. Right click on the virtual machine you just created and select Storage. Here you will tell it where to find the.ISO file so that it boots from there. Click Settings/storage. Click on the CD image that says Empty under Controller IDE. You will delete this and replace it with another.
Right click and select Remove Attachment Empty. Then click the + sign to Add the ISO file. Select the ISO image that you downloaded (You should copy that to some other folder than Downloads for permanent keeping).
Now it should look like the graphic shown above. Now install Ubuntu following the directions above. As we said above, at the end you might need to force a restart from Virtualbox if the Restart Now option gives and error. Do that by selection the virtual machine, right-click that, and select Settings/Close/Power Off then Start after it powers off. Note that you can also change the CPU option to cause the virtual machine to use more than 1 physical CPU or logical core.
Ok, the good news is that it is easy to compile. You may want to look at ophcrack (it's really easy to use, the live cd is even easier to use. If you want to compile rainbowcrack youself, then read on: You'll need a few packages first, grab: sudo aptitude install build-essential openssl libssl-dev Download rainbowcrack-1.2-src.zip, and un-zip it to your home folder. (and unzip rainbowcrack-1.2-src-algorithmpatch.zip to /rainbowcrack-1.2-src/src if you want use of md5 and other hashing stuff). Open up a terminal, and change to the /rainbowcrack-1.2-src/src directory: cd /rainbowcrack-1.2-src/src Now to compile it: make -f makefile.linux That generates a few files for you, the important ones you need are: charset.txt list.txt randomlmalpha#1-7.hash randomlmalpha#1-7.plain randommd5loweralpha#1-7.hash randommd5loweralpha#1-7.plain randomsha1loweralpha#1-7.hash randomsha1loweralpha#1-7.plain rcrack rtdump rtgen rtsort So if you like, copy those files to a new directory. Then to use it, an example would be:./rtgen lm alpha 1 7 0 21 all A good tutorial for it is here (This program worked for me for a simple 3 character xp password I created myself solely as a test for the program.
Again, if you're wanting to use this for windows passwords, use ophcrack, it's much easier to use. Ok, the good news is that it is easy to compile.
