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 RepliesI'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.

- 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 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?

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 1 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.
Where is the universal PATH variable set/exported in Karmic?It is not exported from the normal place (/etc/profile). I can't find where it is set. I tried Code:find /etc/* | xargs grep "export PATH=" and it did not reveal the magic place.

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 3 Replies View RelatedI 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".
View 9 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 3 Replies View RelatedI installed Fedora 15/Gnome 3 because I liked the Universal Access Settings widget for controlling the appearance of my living room computer attached to my TV. It should (when it becomes more stable) make it easy to zoom in on the screen when I'm on the couch. There is also a Large Text setting that allows me to toggle between normal text size and perhaps 125% text size.
I'd like to set that value to about 200%, but don't see how to do it. dconf-editor didn't seem to have a way. gnome-tweak-tool has a way to make all fonts bigger or smaller but I want to easily switch between normal text size when I'm sitting close and large text from the UAS. Screwing around with gnome-tweak-tool would require me to be up-close. It looks like UAS is controlled by /usr/share/gnome-control-center/ui/uap.ui, but it is a wickedly complex xml file & I don't know what to edit. Is there a per user way to change the behavior?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to upgrade from 8.04 to 9.10 via 8.10 etc. When I run update manager, I get this:
W:Failed to fetch [URL] Unable to find expected entry universal/binary-i386/Packages in Meta-index file (malformed Release file?), E:Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
and then it closes. I've unselected all the third party packages and tried various servers, but no difference. I can wget the file, but when I look at it I see entries for "universe/binary-i386/Release", but nothing for "universal" .
Paths displayed in Nautilus appear to be just that. Nautilus private syntax. Esp with respect to anything "special". Apparently when you hand a path like this to a program to open, you get a folder in your home directory: smb://cyberstorm/c_drive/
At least that is what my program does with it. A folder called smb: in my home directory. Probably because the default folder for the program is the home directory [~]. Is there a universal network folder syntax for the network and other "special" file systems?
I see things like: network:/// and computer:/// showing up in "properties" dialogs for some things. But these are useless to a program apparently.
At least a program written in Qt. Is this a Qt problem, or a problem with Ubuntu not yet making the network a first class citizen in the world of paths? Who do I complain to? Time for the network to be a first class citizen, right?

View 6 Replies View RelatedI have installed and run Ubuntu on my iMac, now I would like to try Kubuntu but the installer hangs every time inbetween step 1 setting language and step 2 choosing time zone. Sometimes it's while the system clock is being set, sometimes after. It's just the installer that is locked up, I can still move the cursor but because the installer is fullscreen I cannot get out of it, at least not that I know of.
I have made two different desktop CDs from two different ISOs and both gave the same exact behaviour. I think I prefer Kubuntu to Ubuntu but I haven't really been able to give it a try.
