From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Are you dual booting Ubuntu with Windows? Because Windows fast boot causes that behavior.
No i only have ubuntu on the device
Did you disable fast boot in the BIOS? Just removing Windows won't do that.
I thought i completely removed windows when i did the install. I was mac in a previous life. I picked up a old pc that had a fresh install of windows and i thought i just installed linux straight over it...when it asked if i wanted to install over the full drive.
I will try and find out...
It doesn't matter what you do on the hard drive, you need to go into the BIOS to disable fast boot.
How to do that depends on your PC, search the web for your PC brand and model.
Okies am I in the right place? and i really appreciate the help by the way to all posters.
Have a look under POST Behaviour.
To the menu to the left, there is one item called "secure boot", and sometimes "fast boot" is there. However, if your computer is booting at all, I'm not sure this is it. But try it, it will not hurt.
