Take the tour ×  I have an old version of Ubuntu: 10.10. My
other computer died so I got an Acer Aspire One D270-1865. I
deleted as much of the Microsoft crap as possible. I changed the
boot up to CD-ROM with F2 and F12. It will boot, then ask for
login name then password. I give the corrrect ones then it says
changes are avaliable etc and has my name again except after it
there appears: AOD 270:~$ Then I'm supposed to put something
there. I don't know what. I tried password, login name, etc.
Nothing works. It then goes back to version 10.10. I've already
down loaded the 12.04 several times thinking that it might be
the problem. But still the same 10.10. What do I do?
share|improve this question Ubuntu is giving you a virtual
console, and expecting that you interact with it by entering
commands. Unless you have a command-line only Ubuntu install,
this is usually because Ubuntu can't use your graphics card. Is
Ubuntu installed on your computer, or are you trying to
run/install it off the CD? Have Ubuntu 10.10
