I 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 RepliesI am trying to install Ubuntu as a secondary operating system on my Windows 7 PC.
System specs as follows:
AMD Athlon II X4 620 Processor 2.6 Ghz
4.00 GB RAM
ATI Radeon 4600 series video card
I downloaded the 32-bit ISO image from ubuntu.com and burned it to a CD. When I try to boot, I get a purple splash screen with a couple of icons on the bottom. Shortly thereafter, I get another screen that says Ubuntu and has 5 dots on it that change color from red to white in sequence. During this time, my CD drive is active. After a very long time, the drive goes quiet and I get an error that the installer can't find the username or password. I don't remember the exact text of the error message. The system was hung and required a hard boot to recover.
Reading these forums, I rebooted the computer and this time pressed the escape key once the display had changed to the Ubuntu with the dots. The username/password error came up quickly and was followed by several "Bus error" messages. I ejected the CD and restarted the computer in order to come here for enlightenment. I'm reasonably good with Windows but a total neophyte when it comes to Linux. I'm going to try it again and this time record the exact error message (which is what I should've done initially).

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.

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.
Mmm the title has too many times the word "install" Anyway, I installed Ubuntu 10.10 in an USB stick and now i want to erase it. But when i try to delete it, a sign says it's protected and cannot by modified.
How do I erase it? PD: Sory if this is the wrong section.
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?
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?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI tried installing lubuntu 'over' ubuntu, but am now locked out. Basically, the login screen loads, I've tried entering my username and password, but it doesn't work. I'm not really sure of my username as Ubuntu would automatically fill it in for me. But lubuntu isn't auto-loading my username, so I've been trying to enter all types of variations. I am 100% of my password though
I tried getting help at lubuntu's chat, but that's been kind of hard since there aren't that many people responding. The lubuntu people had me go into recovery mode (2.6.38-8 recovery) and so that would go smoothly. But when the screen of the options of resume, clean, dpkg, failsafex, etc, I cannot move the selector down. So basically, the orange selector is stuck at resume. Whenever I press the down key, the computer runs some lines, and I cannot go back to the list of options. The list is still visible, but can't select any of the options.
If I press the 'end' button, that executes something (probably the last option in the list), and I shut down the pc when it did that. The other arrow keys do nothing. The tab button manages to move the selector from the list to 'Ok' and 'Cancel.' But I cannot move the selector down.. TL;DR: I need to either get into recovery mode, or find a way to get my exact username lubuntu thinks it is.

I'm having a hard time installing Ubuntu 10.10 (32bits). I load the CD and everything's ok throughout the installing procedure, but when the installation is over and it says it's gonna reboot it doesn't do it!
The screen resembles a terminal with a message like "the computer is going to reboot NOW!" but it could stay like that for hours. The keyboard is locked so I can't reboot by commands, and if I press CTRL+ALT+DEL it just reprints the same message. Therefore I'm forced to turn off my computer manually.
After that, the Ubuntu desktop doesn't load. The screen shows a terminal asking for my username and password to access the computer. No graphics at all.
I just downloaded Debian's live CD .iso file. I put it on a USB stick and booted from it. It loads everything then presents me a login screen. I have no idea what the login and password is I've looked all over google and people said it was user: live pass: live or something like that. I've tried a lot of different combinations with no luck. So does anyone know the real username and password for this?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI recently installed vsftpd on my server. I noticed that users on the machine can login into vsftpd with their username and password on the machine and go to their root dir "/home/username".Now, I want to give some people a vsftpd username and password so they can upload and download files and folders to their folder, but this folder has to be in the "/var/www/(username)" folder. I don't want them to be able to go to any other folder than their own folder like "/var", "/etc" or "/home" etc. Also I don't want them to be able to login on the machine as a user, through putty for example. They should only be allowed to acces their folder with vsftpd, nothing else.
