I solve the "Failed to create a swap space"Problem

Post by zealdian »

Hi. Nice to see you.^^

Sometimes, You saw "Failed to create a swap space" error on ubuntu.

I meet this probelm. and now I solve it!

I think you say "Hey, This is a silly" but I solve that problem like this way.

1. start ubuntu on live cd

2. when you see the ubuntu's main. restart the computer on ubuntu(do not click the virtualbox program's X mark.)

3. ubuntu is restarting.(But In my case, It didn't restart perfect. I see ubuntu logo and some blue text. but i hit the enter key. I only saw dos cursor)

4. close the virtualbox window(which run ubuntu) and restart It.

5. Install the ubuntu.

I don't know how I can do it. but I restart the ubuntu -> close that window -> restart and re install ubuntu -> success.

I use This way on two computer adn both succes. One is my main desktop
(E6600, samsung gb ram X 2, 300GB+150GB SATA HDD, GEFORCE 7600GT),
other is my note book SAMSUNG SP15(Old model, This model number is Korean's I don't know this note book sell in other contry.).

I meet same problem on freespire(setup progress stop at 0%), and I solve same way. boot freespire on CD, restart freespire, close virtual box(freespire's window. not entire), restart and success!

PS:Sorry, I'm not good at English. I'm Korean.
