General :: Ubuntu Fails To Boot From LiveUSB?
Nov 8, 2010I downloaded Ubuntu desktop 10.10 on to my Acer 5741 laptop (which I checked online for comptability), following the site's instructions to the letter. I used the USB installer to create a live USB which seemed to go fine. I then restarted as instructed and changed the USB to be selected to boot. However, from that point, the OS fails to load. I get several pages of code loading, then a screen with a logo at the bottom, then my screen just goes dark.
I've been using Windows 7 to download etc.

Dec 30, 2010I use my Ubuntu LiveUSB (LiLi USB Creator) on various machines and everything works perfectly.
Though, even though I got the NVidia driver to work properly on my laptop, the "Desktop Effects" keeps getting turned off it seems.
For Compiz to work, I have to go to System - Preferences - Appearance and tell it Extra affects and Compiz will turn back on, though losing all settings.
Is there a reason Compiz and Desktop Effects are not getting persistence when every other part of the system has it?
Ubuntu :: When Booting From LiveUSB?
Jun 6, 2011I just downloaded a new copy of Ubuntu 11.04 and burnt it to a disc and made a LiveUSB. But whenever I try booting from the USB it starts loading, then goes into a black screen with a bunch of text.

Nov 4, 2010I've installed the XFCE iso of Fedora 14 (the 64x edition) onto a 4 gig flash drive. When I try to boot from the drive, a command-line (BIOS?) interface pops up with the following text (no prompt).
Code:
It hangs there without going any further. I'm currently downloading a different version of Fedora 14, so maybe it's just a bad install. Or maybe this is something that I should have encountered before. Any ideas on how to get it booted up?
Fedora Installation :: LiveUSB Not Booting 14

Process:
Downloaded the Fedora 14 i686 Live ISO file Used the Fedora LiveUSB Creator on my USB with the Fedora 14 ISO
I changed my BIOS on my Dell Inspiron E1505 to boot from a USB, then CD-DVD ROM, then Internal HDD Had USB inserted, then turned on computer.
Received the following message:
And then it sticks. I've found two other internet sites that have had this problem. One is in chinese, the other is in french. I know french, but the 'solution' was not clear.
OpenSUSE Install :: Cannot Boot From LiveUSB
Apr 15, 2010I have a memory stick of 8GB and I partition it like that: The first partition is a big one approx 7GB for file transfers and stuff like that - is a FAT32 file system On the second partition I made a opneSUSE 11.2 Live USB with the following command:
dd if=/path/to/iso/openSUSE-11.2-KDE4-LiveCD-i686.iso of=/dev/sdX bs=4M;sync
After that I plugged the usb in other computer to boot from USB but the system is freezing on a black screen.
I used the first partition for file transfer because Windows seems to see only the first one.
Ubuntu Installation :: Write LiveUSB Changes To USB
Feb 6, 2010I'm wondering if it's possible to write changes to a LiveUSB stick. As you probably already know ubuntu gets mounted to a ramdisk to improve performance and save your USB stick's life (I think so anyway, don't quote me on that).
I'm wondering if it's possible to write any changes made, such as changing running services and installed packages back to the USB stick without actually installing ubuntu fully onto the USB stick.
Ubuntu Installation :: 11.04 - No Boot Up From LiveUSB
Apr 29, 2011Switched off ubuntu when I installed windows 7 for a bit, didn't have time to learn the intricacies of both systems. Saw the new release and wanted to try it out. Followed the ubuntu instructions on how to install it and make a live usb. Using a 4 GB Sandisk Cruzer straight out of the box. When I boot to the usb, I get to screen that asks whether I want to run ubuntu from the USB, or to install it on my computer. Selecting the run from USB option shows a bunch of commands cycling through for a bit, then the screen goes black and just stays that way. Not really sure what the problem is. Trying to run the 64 bit version fyi.

Sep 1, 2011I dont really use ubuntu too much, just for my programming class. Anyways I want to have ubuntu on a USB stick so I can use it on my laptop, netbook, desktop PC at home and desktop PC in class, all of which run Windows natively.
I would prefer the Virtual Machine (VM) on a USB stick but im not sure if its possible to install virtualbox (my VM of choice) on a USB drive. if not then a liveUSB, though correct me if im wrong but would i be able to save files on a liveusb?
If I do go with the VM on the usb stick option, i need an idea what size USB stick to buy so what is the bare minimum space you can run ubuntu on? I also intend to run OpenSUSE which is why i prefer the portable vm option.
Fedora Hardware :: No USB Devices Working Except With LiveUSB?
May 31, 2010All USB devices do not work/initialise, except when I run Ubuntu 10.04 liveUSB (netbook version). The problem arose following upgrade from Ubuntu 9.10 to 10.04, but only manifested after a couple of weeks. I've tried other distros and the problem persists in Fedora 13 which I am now using.
Output of lsusb with a USB memory stick and mouse in the ports is:

Fedora Installation :: LiveUSB No Graphics - No Install
Jun 4, 2011I'm quite keen to get Fedora 15 up and running but I am falling at the first hurdle. I can successfully boot from a LiveUSB and be presented with a text only tty2 / tty3 / tty4 / tty5 interface inviting me to log in but no graphics are possible and I cannot see any way to install Fedora. I have GMA500/Poulsbo graphics chipset which has notoriously **** Linux support but I note that basic support has been inlined in 2.6.39 so I think that if I could only get Fedora installed and then upgrade the kernel or do other things later I will be ok.

Feb 10, 2010I've created the GParted LiveUSB from what I found on the Ubuntu forum. Apparently the instructions given on GParted website doesn't work.
I essentially copied the necessary gparted files to my USB and then made it bootable using syslinux.
I've set the boot sequence properly to boot from my USB but it still doesn't do anything and just brings up the screen where I select my OSs (I have a dual-boot system with WinXP).
I don't have access to a CD-drive so will have to use the USB. Is there a different way to make the LiveUSB?
OpenSUSE Install :: LiveUSB Hanging At Boot?
Nov 26, 2010I have been trying and failing to install openSUSE 11.3 for the last couple of days to replace my Ubuntu install.
I have downloaded the openSUSE-11.3-GNOME-LiveCD-i686.iso (have downloaded numerous times in case it was a problem with the mirror I used) and done the standard dd stuff, as well as trying it from my windows partition with the ImageWriter app.
When I try and boot with the USB drive plugged in my system hangs at the boot screen and the usb drive starts flashing as if it is being read, this continues indefinitely and never goes beyond the boot screen and i eventually take the usb drive out and restart.
When plugging the drive in when Im in ubuntu it shows up as "openSUSE Live CD GNOME" and all the files seem to be there. In gparted it doesn't recognise the partitions or anything but I presume this is normal... Also reduces the size of my drive to the size of the Live CD but again I presume this is normal...
I have also tried installing using the NET iso however I have exactly the same outcome.
This laptop is a Acer Travelmate 8371 and has had Ubuntu, Mint, and Windows 7 all installed from the same USB drive. There is not optical drive so I have no other ways to install openSUSE.

Ubuntu :: Unlock Home Directory From LiveUSB?

Jun 1, 2011I have a USB with two partitions, one FAT32 with Ubuntu 10.04 on it, and one ext4 partition labelled casper-rw. According to the docs this should do to create a persistence installation, but I still get the "can't find persistence medium" error when booting.

I installed with unetbootin on the FAT32 partition and created the partitions using GParted.
Ubuntu :: Disable Live User On Liveusb?
Jul 4, 2011When I boot from a live USB, it automatically logs in as the live user. I don't want that. I want to log in as a real user, without having to log out of the live user session first.I looked at all the options under system > administration > users&groups. Nothing seems applicable.PS, I did already create the real user and it's working fine. I just have to log out before I can log in as the right user.
