Good morning,

I am having trouble installing Trusty Tahr on my netbook.

I am attempting to achieve a dual boot configuration, my netbook came with windows 7 starter and so I am attempting to follow the instructions posted on the ubuntu website but receive the same error each time.

The instructions allude to the ability to partition your drive during the installation, however I never get to that option. I am able to boot from a live USB and the installation begins (cycles through text and then i see the xubuntu screen and scrolling circle). I then receive an error titled "Failed to set new theme" and in the body it mentions something about the hard drive being full.

Why am I experiencing this error, and how to I circumvent it to get the dual boot configuration I want?

PC Specs: 1.66MhZ intel atom processor 2GB RAM 150GB harddrive (80GB free, intend to allot 60GB to Ubuntu...if I can get there).

I am not sure the cause of the issue, but I was able to work around it by using an older installation (14.04.1) and then upgrade that way...not sure why that worked. Had to enter the setup menu (push the down arrow as soon as you select the boot to USB option and a small white icon appears at the bottom) and then disable 2 options (hit english and then F6 to enter the options menu, turn off the nomodset and no lapic)
