, we already found the truth. lol
sorry, just can't believe what I'm reading
peter___: you're right about the wubi install, however if the normal install fails do a clean install using wubi
it's just so weird
Artemis3: no, i have to select the desktop environment after login. my problem is this, my desktop setting was changed during the installation. but i'm not sure whether it's set to gnome or unity

it's not working
Artemis3: so what do I do if I want to use gnome
clarity: you can only install windows inside ubuntu from a cd. You can't install windows on a linux disk.

how do I select it

codfection: it will be saved in your session, so it'll be there next time you log in

Artemis3: session...
codfection, there is a system setting under system/preferences

i have this g
