I recently installed Ubuntu 15.10 on my old computer.  I'm now trying to create a windows usb stick to install on a new computer I'm building.

I have used Lubuntu on an older system of mine and I didn’t have any difficulties installing steam (only running it).  But this time around I can’t seem to install steam at all, when I try from "Software" or from the steam website, it starts installing, gets to 20-40% and then stops as if I haven't even clicked install.  When trying to install in the terminal, I get this:  lubuntu@lubuntu:~$ sudo apt-get install steam Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree        Reading state information... Done Package steam is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source  E: Package 'steam' has no installation candidate   I've been looking about with no luck, most people just suggesting to do it through the terminal, I also tried sudo apt-get install steam -f which was suggested but gave the same result as above.  Any help on installing this, please?

I've added the ppa here  When I run sudo apt-get update, the software sources aren't found. I figured maybe they hadn't updated their repos to the newest version, so I changed the distro in Software Center to natty. Now when I try to install handbrake-gtk I get the message  handbrake-gtk : Depends: libnotify1 (&gt;= 0.5.0) but it is not installable Depends: libnotify1-gtk2.10 but it is not installable  It looks like the only packages starting with libnotify are libnotify0.4-cil libnotify-bin libnotify-dev libnotify4 libnotify-cil-dev libnotify-doc  The only relevant one seemed like libnotify4, which is already installed. The CLI version installs fine. How can I install Handbrake?

I went into Live CD and activated Terminal.  Then, I typed gksu nautilus to gain temporary access to my root directory. Once the Manager window opened, I clicked on File System and navigated to the /etc/default/grub directory. I then double clicked on the Grub file to make changes to the TIMEOUT and TIMEOUT_QUIET.  I saved the file after I made the changes. Then I went back to the terminal mode and typed:  gksu update-grub   The error message I got was:     Can not find a device for / (is /dev mounted?)   I'm not sure what to do at this point. How can I run update-grub to update the changes? Thanks in advance for your help. Please be very detailed and specific with your response as I am totally new to this environment.
