I was trying to make a live CD for Ubuntu 9.10 i386 by burning the contents of the download to a disc, but it didn't fit on a 700mB x12 CD-RW. I'm using an old version so Mac Parallels will support it. What am I doing wrong?
View 5 RepliesI've done a good few ubuntu installations for friends and colleagues and now my Dad wants in on the action. His PC is more than capable of running ubuntu 32 bit BUT I've hit a brick wall I've never come across before. I've burnt a CD image of the 10.04 iso from [URL] on my ubuntu box and for some reason, his PC just won't boot from it. If I select the option to manually select the boot source, all I see is the hardware monitor telling me things like CPU temperature. As for the Live USB - nothing whatsoever. Is it possible that I've managed to corrupt the iso file somehow?
View 3 Replies View RelatedLive CD: I dowloaded the ISO, burned it to CD, booted from this CD. It starts to load and I can see the purple background with the loading icons. Everything seems normal. But instead of ending up with the login screen, it ends up with a screen that says 'Please remove all bootup media and hit ENTER' or something like this. So I hit enter and then it shuts off my computer. That's it.
Live Stick: So I tried another option and created a stick with 'usb-creator.exe' that is on the CD. Then I start from that stick, but all I end up is a line of 'Syslinux bla bla copyright 20xx-2011'. That's it. Then it does nothing anymore. The cursor is blinking, but no prompt or whatsoever and keyboard input doesn't do anything.
Now something weird: When I insert Live CD and Live Stick at the same time and then boot my computer, then it boots into Ubuntu. Obviously it loads the first parts from CD and then the rest from stick. Because when I'm then in Ubuntu and try to format the stick, it says it can't do so, because there's system files from that stick in use.
I can't seem to find this anywhere. I have burned Debian 5.06 for i386 and trying to login when running the live cd. What is the username and password to get in?
edit....
I found 'user' and 'live' but they don't work.
I need aufs support/patch for kernel 2.6.34.1 as i i need to create a live linux distro for my organization and linux live scripts (the scripts which I am using for creating live linux distro) require aufs and squashfs support. There is a directive for squashfs in kernel configuration file but nothing for aufs and the patch available at linux-live site seems not to work.

Now the problem is whenever I try to create live usb using Opensuse live ISO image after extracting all files to usb , it gets failed.The same thing is happening with OpenSolaris 11 live cd iso image. Does this mean that live usb creater I have, was only foe Fedora distros?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI've got an old iMac g3 on which I'd like to install Ubuntu Dapper Drake.Here's the problem:I insert the disk in the computer.Keep pressing "C" till this comes out:Quote:"The default option is "live" bla bla bla but in case of problems use "Live video=ofonly"I write "Live".The orange progress bar appears, but the the screen becomes black.I still can hear sounds: the classic ubuntu log-in music, but I can not see anything: I guess the live has started, but the screen is just black.By pressing CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE I'm able to come back to shell.
Once rebooted, I try "Live video=ofonly".Again the orange progress bar, but then this message comes outQuote:"Failed to start the X Server, It is likely that is not set up correctly. Would you like to view the server output to diagnose the problem?"Even if I dont select anything, some random words appear in the screen, too fast for me to read them.Then I'm back to shell.I read here (that the problem is caused by Xorg and that the solution can but editing his configuration by using Quote:sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.confBut I just don't know when to do that: Ubuntu is not installed yet and there is only MacOS 9.2 on that machine.
Just got back to attempting to play with 10.04 using its Live CD. It consistently goes to the "Log In" page and not the Live CD page on running. I saw a Post specifying a F key to be pressed on boot-up to get to the desired starting point some time ago, but did not write it down. Some advice did say press Any Key but this does not seem to do the job. Tried to use the search function here but no joy. Can anyone remember which F key? Note that as a check, I tried to use 9.10 Live CD and this worked fine, so it is not a machine problem.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI am using 6.06 live CD and I'm trying to load ubuntu on a G4/1Ghz laptop with 1GB of memory and a 50~60GB harddrive. I want to use it to write simple programs (c++ and fortran, but I can't get it to compile -- it doesn't have g++!) I cannot connect it to the internet, so how can I get it to install with g++? I thought there'd be a more involved long list of things to include/exclude, but there isn't. I ordered a CD/DVD version of 9.10, but that won't be here for an estimated 4~6 weeks. How can I get this to work. I've tried using my dual core mac running 10.4.11 to download the image and burn it to a DVD, but it won't do it... but that's a second issue. What I need is c++ in the G4 running ubuntu.

View 4 Replies View RelatedThe iso file I downloaded passed the md5sum check. However, the cd I burned from it seems to bypass the usual Ubuntu menu where you get to choose what you want to do (run the live cd without changing your computer, check the cd for errors, install, etc) and it attempts to install itself!! The installation process halts when some sort of error is encountered.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a laptop I don't seldom use, which I want to reformat. I decided the best way to do this was to put Ubuntu on it, since I really just need it for web browsing and a bit of downloading, but I can't seem to do it.
Every time I put in a Ubuntu Live CD, it doesn't load at all (which I assume is an issue with the laptop), so I mounted the ubuntu ISO onto a flash drive, and tried to run it off there.
That worked fine to start with, but I could only get as far as the first menu, I couldn't actually get into the live CD to install it, and I can't think of any reason why.
I tried the guide on pendrivelinux, using Universal USB Installer and the image and Ubuntu won't save the changes.
Creating a "start-up disk" using the Ubuntu disk creator just made an install disk even with the 4GB for saving stuff ticked.
I have an Intenso 16GB USB flash drive.
From some reason I cannot boot from a livecd. I was able to load the vmlinuz and the initrd.img from the cd. The CD even got to "ready.".Nothing happened after this. This is with a liveCD and a liveUSB.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI downloaded the most recent version of Ubuntu (10.04) and burned it to a CD to be used as a live cd. While it attempts to boot during startup, it does not get far. I get a maroon colored screen with a diagram at the bottom that looked like a stick of ram (although it could have been something else, I guess), an equals sign, and then a man in a circle.
After that, it goes to a black screen with a flashing underscore at the top left, until it turns completely black forcing a restart. The monitor has not lost signal.
Yesterday I wanted to check out the new Ubuntu version (10.04) but unfortunately this failed. I downloaded as usual the Ubuntu live CD image and burnt it on a RW-CD I had. I used Nero's software under Win XP Pro... The creation of the CD was fine... It booted from the CD, I choose the language, the try Ubuntu without installing. After this point nothing went as it should... I got a lot of error messages, the screen was in text mode it finaly stoped with a text mode ubuntu command line.The errors were mostly I/O errors I tried to use the check disk option but also failed same kind of errors and at the end somthing like trying to connect to plymouth connection refused. My computer configuration is the following:
AMD Athlon 2800+ (sk. 754)
2.5GB RAM (1x 512MB, 2x1GB, all different modules)
Epox 8KDA3i nForce3 250 motherboard
ATI Radeon 9550, 256 MB video card
A realtek based NIC, PCI slot

I am running windows 7 ultimate... I have changed the boot order to CD 1st... I have tried at least 3 times and it always goes on to the Windows logon screen... I have Phoenix bios version 6... I have an Asrock mother board with an AMD Athalon 2600-- 1 gig of DDR ram-- ATI XL vga card... I downloaded the newest Ubuntu release to my desk top... I tried the suggested Burning software (no luck) I tried CDburnerXP (no luck) finally I used the Windows ISO image burning software and (success) the CD was created... But no joy... The PC will not boot to Ubuntu.

I was updating my laptop from 10.04 to 10.10 and the fan stoped and the laptop overheated and shutdown in the middle of the update. So now I cannot use Ubuntu till I reinstall, but I was wondering if someone knew how to back up the homefolder through the live cd with permission to copy every file that is on their because the important files are the one I need permission for.
