Live Linux USB Flash Drive - UNetBootin - Ubuntu Linux 8.04

[Bulletfreak962]

I was going to do this but it turns out that i dont have enough ram on my computer. After all its just a littlle acer aspire one netbook.

[quantum290]

Has someone tried live USB3 stick (or hdd) ?

Can the speed be compared to a static OS ?

[gotbletu]

@quantum290 is loaded into ur ram, so unless u have alot of ram is gonna run really slow

[quantum290]

@gotbletu

I'm not sure is entire OS loaded into ram, but as we know ram is by orders of magnitude faster than hd, and non-persistent live usb ubuntu runs pretty well.

The problem appears with persistent live sticks (those which memorize changes) and usb write speed.

So i expect usb3 sticks to run live ubuntu noticeable faster than usb2 ones, in persistent mode.

Reports would be greatly appreciated.

Does the USB drive need to be blank for this? A friend of mine has a 16 GB size USB (or so he believes) and he has files stored on it. Would that create a problem?

[DontPublicMe]

@RorraStone

1.

First, create a folder on the USB drive, and name it "AllThatWasHereBefore[date] ..

2.

Shift all files and folders (in other words, everything) hanging off the "root" of the USB drive into the just created "AllThatWasHereBefore[date]" folder.

3.

Proceed from there as if it was a blank USB drive.

*To be extra safe, your friend can back up all he has on his 16GB USB drive onto a hard drive in case he loses everything on his USB drive.

IGGGGHHHT BITCH................ -__________-

[MysticWaterNite]

I used Fedora Live USB Creator and it does the same thing as UneBootie. After getting it on to my USB and switching my BIOs, it still doesn't work. And I already formatted my USB to FAT32. What do you think is wrong?

[gotbletu]

@MysticWaterNite not sure if it is the samething as unetbootin, but after i format, i do a safe unmount of the usb, then plug it back in, then continue and it works

[MysticWaterNite]

@gotbletu I tried it with Ubuntu three times; once with UNetBootin, once with PenDrive, once with the CD which booted Linux and I made the usb from there. All three times it didn't work like I tried with Fedora. I get this message saying there's no configuration file in the "syslinux" folder and it can't boot. Do you think it's because of my computer or USB? I heard that some expensive USBs won't let you run Linux from it. I've also heard that some computers can't boot from a USB too Please Help

[gotbletu]

@MysticWaterNite make sure u set ur bios to boot from usb, of press the hotkey at bootup for menu, think is either F12 or delete key. If u got a very old pc then it might not have usb boot option. Some old computers cant handle the newer usb stick either

[MysticWaterNite]

@gotbletu Yes, I already did that as I've explained earlier. I went into BIOs at start up and went to the Boot Options and changed it to my USB and disabled everything else. When I boot my CD I have to do the same thing but for my CD drive. But I just keep on getting this error message saying I don't have configuration files. What are those? It said it's suppose to be in the syslinux folder.

[gotbletu]

@MysticWaterNite have u try it on other pc?

[abdi7451]

[kevionization]

[OSGUIShow]

cool video mate, i just reviewed it too ;-) in windows 7 lolz @ me

[gotbletu]

@OSGUIShow oh going to the darkside? loL

[boofthump]

what os are you using in this video?

[icze88]

USB flash drives is NOT an option when doing security related work like reformating. they have an extremley low life span compared to any other storage media

[MrPlanetSU]

Or, if you have a 4gb+ drive hit ' Try Ubuntu', open the disk utility at System>Administration, note the letters (sdc, etc) of your USB, hit install, on step 4 select the same letters of your USB on erase disc and etc, then at step 7, click advanced and check install bootlpader, but then also select your USB drive letters

[marypozo]

How do you get the ISO? this is the third video i watch that explains they already have ISO.

[gotbletu]

@marypozo u can either select it from the list they got or go to the website of the OS u want and download it

[Randomgamerdudes]

Right Bitch?

Thats It

...rofl

better video

[graygryph]

Thanks buddy....this helped alot...even though it was self explanitory.

[TRAxXxk1ng]

how much gb do i need on usb driver

[xadam2dudex]

UNetbootin only runs under Linux ? it's not a Windows program ?

[mmzeleks]

It can be run under Windows, just type unetbootin into google and click the first link.

[Mafkeesdejong]

It's also available for Microsoft systems, in fact the USB installation feature of Windows 7 is unetbootin. Microsoft was forced to publish the code under GPL because at first they didn't want to admit they stole it. Just Google: 'unetbootin for windows'

[caz199513]

@xadam2dudex it actually do run on windows and linux

[UserLinux1]

what is your cursor

[tamimz1]

lolz can i use a ipod since i can basically put files as flash drive and its already preformatted as fat 32 lol m i lost all my flash drives lol

[Kuriel213]

i downloaded the unetbootin on ubuntu 9.04 and i allowd executin but it wont open or anytin]?

[darkrider182]

Is it possible to convert NTFS to FAT32 and how?

[cokacutter]

yes there is a way try to change it wen you format the drive.

[redsoxhater2468]

I'm not sure about what you're doing, but if you just format the disk with PartitionMagic linux (if you're formatting an HD, I'm not sure why you would), you can just change the format type in the options.

[thedemonrbt]

why does unetbootin crash when I try to choose the iso I have placed on my desktop with unetbootin?

[Spokesmayne]

I love you....

[hto1971]

willl this let you make one on xp and use it on xp

[gotbletu]

nope, is for linux

[rimz1234]

hi i need to make a windows 7 bootable usb but im using ubuntu how can i do it?

[gotbletu]

is for linux stuff only

[mastershake1000]

Haha :D

Unique booty.

[pacorocks1]

haha

u still got money in your pcoket

alright bitch?

great ending :)

[cerati88]

Your video was slow paced.. but your instructions were precise!

Thanks!

[bluemike155]

thanks so much dude, i need this for my COMP TIA A+ class,

mike.

[jinseiprofessor]

i downloaded a ubuntu in ubuntu website but the format is in a winrar it is the iso file??pls reply

[Gispero]

If it is recognised as a Winrar file; this means it is compressed. You should extract the contents of the compressed file.

[cadefulp]

If i select HARD DISK while in UNetbootin and install it to my SD CARD will it act like a live cd, or just like a normal ubuntu install?

[hectortrademark]

we cantg download th e file

[Demodisk]

Thank you. I've been trying to figure this out for hours, and I couldn't find any other useful information. Great job.

[SparklingMuzik]

Nice clear voice that I can understand!!!

THnX

[supermohi]

heyw8 instead of putting linux on a flash drive could i put on a iso of xp?

[gotbletu]

not this way

[cadefulp]

technically you could but, you would need a Live CD called XPE But you cant use UNetBootin.

[blink1420]

thanks, this was very helpful

[jakegibbsharry]

Would this work using the windows xp iso file?

[shadowsecter]

Hey mate, nice background (Nice video to, but its something i already knew>.>) think you cans end me the link to get it, or if thats one of your own put it up on the net?

[se26ash]

i just got a 16gb exigo flash drive could you tell me how to get it to work with my ps3, i have a few other usb drives and they work fine i just dont know how to get this to work with the playstation.

[OhMymy]

does the distro run slower when it is on a usb drive?

[gotbletu]

comparing to what? if cdrom then no. If HDD then yes

[OhMymy]

I see thanks

[mocoschango]

good work

[dutchy131]

[2good4wordz]

[alirezaavazzadeh]

cheers mate, gone try this

[ABHINAV202020]

good work

[ABHINAV202020]

good work

[frvfilms]

betch...lol

[Alas777]

the video for some reason feels uncomplete...

[gotbletu]

u didnt get it working? Otherwise this video does exactly what it was intended to do.

[Alas777]

well, i did exactly what you did here, but when i boot it says "failed to connect" or something like that, and then says "check your cable", and i thought that was kind of funny b/ i don't know what cable they are talking about if it's just a regular 1g usb

[gotbletu]

theres a checklist on the info-box. maybe check those if u skip anything.

[Bassbrewer89]

ok, i installed it on my external hardrive.

i have a 500gig my book and when i burned it to that it wouldnt boot off it.

and i also put puppy on a disc and when i try to load it it says somehtings wrong with the kernal? great vid 5/5 though :P

[gotbletu]

u have to make sure that ur computer has usb boot options and if u do enable that in ur Bios. As for the disc it should boot up, unless u have disc errors from burning? or damage iso? Otherwise try on another machine to c if the disc works.

[Bassbrewer89]

yeah thanks, i ended up getting ubuntu installed onto my external hardrive xD

one problem though, i have a...nvidia e-GeForce FX 5200...i think and it will not let me activate the visual effects, comes up saying i can't. What am i doing wrong? do i need a knew driver and if so where can i get one? thankss :P

[gotbletu]

click on system>admin>hardware drivers. and check it to get drivers. then try enable compiz after.

[Bassbrewer89]

i did and it says:

NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver (version 173) recommended.

it says its tested and its activated...but it still won't let me enable visual effects.

should i get another driver??

[gotbletu]

did u reboot? sure try another driver if u need to.

[Bassbrewer89]

yeah i rebooted, where should i get one? i never done this before :P

[gotbletu]

well if it still say u cant use compiz is probally cuz u got a shitty card that cant handle it. :)

[Bassbrewer89]

hmmm, i dont think its shitty because it runs games and stuff on windows perfectly but it does say on the box that it was designed for windows xp...ima get a new one...maybe part of the problem also is that since i have it installed on my external hardrive....idk would that be a problem?

[gotbletu]

dont think it matters as to which HardDrive u using. it should work if u really have a FX 5200, but ur not sure which card u got.

[Bassbrewer89]

i do know what card i have, i have the box right here. I'ma get my "almost" uncle to try to figure it out, thanks for your help ;)

[Bassbrewer89]

a few questions....is it easy to...unboot? if thats the right word...from your external harddrive?

also does compiz fusion work with puppy linux?

or is there a program like that for it?

about 60% of the reason i want linux is for compiz fusion and all the open source and freeware :P

thanks in advance

[gotbletu]

u mainly running off the ram when u use this livecd/usb thing. So if u reboot and take off ur usb stick is gone. Is kinnda like a try it b4 u really install it. I havent try puppy linux compiz but yes ive seen people do it. just make sure ur card can handle compiz thats all.

[xanhellxamayax]

-well it has 128mb of memory.. but it runs windows xp normally.. i want to change it because it got infected witha fuckn' virus that makes folders on the folders and it's very annoying, also blocked some stuff.. i removed it, but i don't want her to have more of that virus shit, cuz' it for school ya' know, important docs. i think is normal usb not that 2.0 superfast..usb latency? will check. last, do you recommend puppy for her? just pics, music, e-books, mail, openoffice normal use. thanxxx

[gotbletu]

Well with 128mb of ram then yes puppy is great for all that u mention. On laptops if u need wifi that might be a problem. Other than that if u dont need wifi or u get wifi to work then everything is good. If u want a pretty puppy linux distro, u might want to check out "macpup"

[xanhellxamayax]

-well i finally did it man, and let me tell you, it's great ;).. it's running like a knife through butter. a good thing is she has 256 mb, and even the wifi, and configuration only took like 2 minutes.. i removed windows, and partioned from the usb, and installed puppy on the HDD ;) ..one thing was just with this stupid hotmail, and configurations for pop3 servers.. when i access via seamonkey an error appears, like "change your browser" stuff.. though pidgin is making it's work on messenger ;)

[gotbletu]

yea puppy linux is the fastest i've seen. Good that u got wifi working haha. Next step get rid of hotmail bill gates bullshit, and get gmail or someshit better.

[xanhellxamayax]

-right!, now i just have to convince her to get a gmail.. one thing else is that i couldn't place an icon on the desktop for firefox, it seems all the turorials are for puppy 2 versions, maybe 3 and i installed the latest, puppy linux 4 and it was released during last month, so couldn't understand cuz the directories are not the same.. all i could place was a tiny icon i found in some dir.. whatever, you really helped me here man, keep it up, thanks ;)

[gotbletu]

oh no probs, hope u get extra laid from ur girl for all the work loL. As for convincing her, I just say sorry I dont date girls that uses hotmail, I only like girls that got nice gmail haha

[xanhellxamayax]

-you betcha' ;)

-i heard yahoo girls show tits on the cam and all.. lol, we are now talking about mail girls..

x

x

x

[gotbletu]

oh free peep show? I gotta check those out haha

[xanhellxamayax]

-then i tried to use a manual installation on the flash drive, moving data from live cd to my formatted in fat32 flashdrive, download syslinux, moved some files from casper folder(vmlinuz and initdr), editing syslinux.. nothing.

-i tried "vga mode" with the uneedbooty' stuff (lol) and detects no screen.. i dunno' what else to try :S ..maybe another distro?

-by the way cool effects and all, peace :)

x

x

x

[gotbletu]

-maybe not enough ram?

-computer usb too slow?

-enable usb latency in bios?

-try a small distro- puppy linux?

[xanhellxamayax]

-i donwloaded that stuff, and i tried to put it on my girlfriend's laptop, (a dell inspiron 7800, damaged cd drive) but it doesn't start, i boot from usb and it also shows the login screen (after, like 10 minutes, i even hear the login sound) but stays frozen, i even let it like for 3 hours yesterday watching a movie, and nothing.i used feisty-fawn because i have the live-cd. the day i let for 3 hours an error appeared "gnome encountered error themes may not work" something like that.. ne help?

[gotbletu]

yes thats the point of a live linux, to try it out b4 u commit

[UbuntuLee]

UbuntuLee helps people...but this time you helped UbuntuLee! lol. I was wondering how to do this. Thanks man! 5 stars.

[gotbletu]

[scorpio209]
