View 1 RepliesI 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?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI 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'm trying to install the Ubuntu ISO onto my USB drive using the Universal USB installer. I selected the distribution, found and selected the ISO file, but cannot select my USB drive.
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.

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?

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?

View 2 Replies View RelatedToward the end of installing Ubuntu 10.10 32bit (Alt CD) on my iMac 11,1, the installer asked me to type in the location for installing the grub boot loader.
I told it to use /dev/sda3 and it immediately failed. I'm still in the installer. Can anyone suggest a solution?
Here are my partitions on sda:

View 5 Replies View RelatedI am trying to install opensuse 11.3 but the PC restarts itself before loading the installer dvd. When I run the installer dvd from 11.2 i can see all the files there, i click on auto run and it gives me an error msg saying cannot find autorun program also have a live gnome desktop cd and same problem, cant boot install media. This were both created on opensuse 11.2 using k3b for the first one and brasero for the second one. I have put both on an xp laptop and the installers start with no problem, both media check are fine, no error. On top of that I have some ubuntu dvd and some xp dvd, I have tried both on my pc and they boot fine, so its not a boot problem,
this ones were created on this same pc before I had opensuse, seems only cd or dvd created in opensuse fail, but it only fails when booting on my opensuse pc and work fine when I put them into xp laptop. I have been trying all day and I cant find any info on this problem. The only thing I can think of, that I have not tried is to try to burn a dvd using xp and try that one.
I was wondering if anyone knew how to remove the "Universal Access" icon/functionality from a Fedora 15 install?I don't need High Contrast, Visual Alerts, Zoom, etc and want to get it out of my top panel and off the system if possible.

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).
View 7 Replies View RelatedI'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?
Please help me with this anoying spell check "helper".I've installed openSUSE 11.3 and KDE 4 and updated the latest patches.When I start firefox and thunderbird a spell checker activates which is active in all windows (including shell). I have removed all spell checkers (aspell, ispell, hunspell) then rebooted and the spell checker was gone. But now I wasn't able to start firefox and thunderbird because they seem to use it. I have installed again hunspell. The "helping" spell checker was there again :-))In the spell checking section of kde system settings I'm not able to find an option to disable this "helper".

Now we want to use this hard disk in more than one systems with different usernames. So we did "chmod -R 777 /media/ VolumeLabel" in all the systems.But we want the hd to pass around. So its a little bit inconvenient to do chmod all the time. So what should we do to make the access for the hd universal in all the systems that we plug it in?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'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 9 Replies View RelatedI had to re-install both win XP pro and Fedora 13 (dual boot) after Windows crashed so badly that I had a "read error" at boot, unrecoverable (at last for me) by running the distribution DVD in recovery mode.Now everything seems to work fine, but the software installer: it does his job resolving dependencies and downloading, but does not install. It simply stops without any message, leaving me without three programs that I badly need. yum from the console does exactly the same. It reports an error, as below, but it seems ecovered by using another mirror:
