I know of two utilities on Windows to burn Linux live distros on USB keydrives: UNetBootIn and Universal-USB-Installer.I know nothing about what is required to make a USB keydrive bootable and run from it, and I was wondering if...
- those two utilies have the exact same features, and just use a different UI
- there are yet other utilies for Windows I should know about?
I recently downloaded the Universal USB Installer v1.1 and put Ubuntu on the flash drive.I put it into my laptop, and had it set to boot from flash drive, and it didn't do anything. Is it supposed to just auto run from the flash drive and format my hard drive and put Ubuntu on it?

I have a stick with 1.86GB of free space connected to my computer, and I can see it in My Computer. It is completely empty, and designated as ( F: ). The problem is that the 'Select your USB flash drive' part is only letting me choose either D: or E:
I've downloaded the "universal USB installer" and am trying to install "Ubuntu 9.10/10.4.1 Desktop i386" to a laptop with no CD drive. I downloaded the iso but when I try to install I get a message that filesystem.squashfs is bad. I tried downloading the .tar file for it but I don't see how to create the file... I'm using a Windows XP machine and don't have a running copy of Linux.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have installed the ubuntu-10.04-desktop-i386.iso to a USB Key/Drive using Universal USB Installer (v1.5.5). I restart my machine and boot to Ubuntu from USB. I then go to System > Administration > Update Manager and download all the updates and start to install them. I then come across this... Where do I go from here? Do I need to type anything in?

View 8 Replies View RelatedI know this is not strictly a Ubuntu question, but I was unsure where to ask this question and since it is about installing Ubuntu Server, I put this question here.
I have used the Universal USB installer to create an install USB device, but I also need to be able to boot to a DOS prompt so I can update the bios if I need to. I would like to have just a single USB drive rather than having to carry two of them around.
Has anybody used the Universal USB installer and is there a way to modify the resulting USB installer so that I could say add a menu program such as grub or something else that would allow me to either access the installer or go to a DOS prompt? Kind of like the way CloneZilla does or perhaps the gparted Live CD.
I used Universal USB Installer to put Ubuntu 11.04 on my flash drive,and then ran it.Why does everything in my Ubuntu become so slow,including surfing the Internet and installing applications?

I'm studying for the CompTIA Linux+ LC0-101 exam and I just need some clarification on where man pages are stored. I understand that this can be different depending on the distribution you are working on but so far I've read that man pages are stored in:
/usr/share/man
/usr/local/share/man
/usr/local/man
/usr/X11R6/man
While all these might be containers for man pages on various distributions I highly doubt that I will be given the option to make four selections during the test. So is there one or two of them that are seen as the universal man page directories?
I'm a complete Linux beginner who wrote his first little script.I'm writing an 'installer' for it (so I can share it with friends) and I'm wandering if there is a universal method to add it to autostart in all Linux distributions.I was thinking about cron/crontab but it's not the best choice, as writing an uninstaller which removes a specific line from crontab is out of my league. I'd rather copy a *.desktop file to autostart folders and then be able to remove them.BTW do you have to put *.desktop files in ~/.config/autostart in Ubuntu, but ~/.kde/Autostart in Kubuntu even if they are shell scripts?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI recently installed Damn Small Linux using unetbootin. Booting Linux from unetbootin seems a lot like booting from a liveCD, so I'd like to mount my hard drive and see what I can do. Unfortunately it looks like Damn Small Linux has not mounted it automatically, and I'm having trouble finding my drive and mounting it from the /dev directory. There are several devices named /dev/*da* and I don't know which is my hard drive. My computer is an HP Mini netbook, so the drive is probably one of the new "solid state" drives if that affects anything.What can I do to find and mount my hard drive from unetbootin?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have an Acer Aspire 5102 WLMi laptop, that I purchased 5 years ago. It has the following:AMD Turion 64x2 Mobile Technology TL50 (1.6GHz, 512 KB L2 cache)ATI Radeon Xpress 1100120GB PATA HDD hard drive (60 gigs for the C: drive FAT32, 60 for the D: drive, NTFS)I have Windows XP Media Center edition installed on my pc, and I want to install linux. This is my first time installing linux on anything. My laptop's cd drive doesn't work, so I wanted to boot from a USB or from hard disk. I googled around and found unetbootin, which I ran. When I ask it to use the hard disk, I select Debian stable and the one where it loads everything up beforehand, not the netboot. This is because the netboot option wasn't working - it gave me a similar problem. Anyways, I boot up, and I have a choice between unetbootin and windows xp. When I choose unetbootin, it says:
Booting 'Unetbootin'
(hd0,1)
Filesystem type is fat, partition type 0xc

Alright so I'm currently in the process of trying to transfer a wubi install of ubuntu to an actual partition using LVPM. I need to use unetbootin with parted magic mounted (not sure if that's the right term) to my hard disk rather than a bootable flash drive. So I set everything up, downloaded parted magic ISO, ran unetbootin and selected the file everything installed smoothly. I then restart my computer and unetbootin is indeed in the boot list but when I select it, it remains at a black screen. I left it at the black screen for about ten minutes and nothing happened. I've tried a few times and nothing.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a 500 GB external hard drive that is screwed up and wont let me copy any files to it on Ubuntu, I plugged it into my dads iMac and it works perfect so clearly this is just an OS 10 thing.I bought a 320 GB external a few days ago to back up the 270GB of files on the 500 GB so I can format it to a Universal format that will work fine on Ubuntu, OSX, and Windows.
The problem I had was Ubuntu telling me I don't have permission to change anything even in terminal with the chown and chmod commands, nothing worked so I have everything backed up onto the 320 GB right now and I would just like to know what format I can put the 500 GB to that will work in all three operating systems.
I am currently building a Linux server from the ground up that will be used to virtualize many Linux distro for development environments.The host is CentOS 5.4 using KVM as it's virtualization platform.Currently I have Fedora 11 configured as a guest with an allocation of 15GB for the OS its self (this actual guest).The reason I allocated such a small amount of space was because I was hoping to make some sort of user drive that contained the majority of the server's space. My goal was to then share this part of the drive between all of the guest.Essentially I want all of my guest OSs to access one huge drive (part of the drive the host is installed on).
