I've installed, overwrote, and deleted the partion with US to install again. Each time I could'nt login. I used 2 versions, 9.10 + 8.10. It can't be the login info, but the problem is probably that I hadn't installed any packages, e.g. Mail or Fileserver.
Could the HDD not be mounted? I'll attach a GParted screenshot.
Would you please back up and elaborate on exactly what you are trying to do and the problem you are experiencing. Please provide details such as steps taken, commands issued, and error messages.
I am having a really difficult time "connecting the dots" in your post(s). I gather that you are trying to install outdated copies of Ubuntu server edition and after install are having login problems. The only real information you provided is a screen shot that shows you have an encrypted partition that you have marked as bootable. For starters, booting and encryption don't make a good combination as you need to decrypt to boot, but you need to boot to decrypt. You then jump to mentioning installing applications like Mail and file server. Would you please explain how this fits into the picture?
