i am trying to install Ubuntu alongside windows 8 but as soon as i choose the option install inside windows 8 it shows a black screen with this written on it:

acpid: exiting
speech-dispatcher disabled; edit /etc/default/speech-dispatcher
*Asking all remaining processes to terminate...

then it asks me to remove the cd drive n press enter then it restarts n again windows 8 is booted directly

secure boot is disabled and it cant be enabled

any solutions???

    did the installation complete successfully and this happens or before the completion of installation? – Stormvirux Sep 04 '13 at 11:00
  • If the installation had completed then the issue is "The win+ ubuntu" UEFI issue due to which you dont see grub on reboot and you dont have to worry about the error message.See http://askubuntu.com/questions/221835/installing-ubuntu-on-a-pre-installed-windows-8-64-bit-system-uefi-supported/228069#228069 – Stormvirux Sep 04 '13 at 11:08

You dont need to worry about this error message

Open the terminal and edit the file /etc/default/speech-dispatcher using nano (or any text editor) as follows:

sudo nano /etc/default/speech-dispatcher

Inside the file change the RUN property to yes, so the file will become:

# Defaults for the speech-dispatcher initscript, from speech-dispatcher

# Set to yes to start system wide Speech Dispatcher
RUN=yes

Press ctr+O to save and ctr+X to exit nano

You must not install Ubuntu inside Windows 8. There are changes in Windows 8 that makes this very unsafe. You have to perform a real installation if you want to dual-boot Ubuntu and Win8.

  • wat do u mean by a real installation? – Bharat Sharma Sep 04 '13 at 16:15
  • There's something called Wubi that will install Ubuntu on a Windows file system. It's never been very good, but on Windows 8 it's very unsafe because Windows 8 doesn't shut down properly. So you need to create a new partition and install Ubuntu on that, rather than inside the Windows file system. – Jo-Erlend Schinstad Sep 06 '13 at 03:18
