So i would like to install ubuntu on an external usb hard drive (320 - 500 GB) and i have some questions about that :   Do i need a usb external hard drive which will be compatible with ubuntu - linux ? or i can do it with any hard drive  If i make a partition on it for ubuntu staff will i be able to use it and save other staff in the usb hard drive (movies,songs,documents etc) ?

I've been trying to install .deb chrome file (google-chrome-stable_current_amd.64.deb). It is saved in my Downloads, so I tried this command   sudo apt-get install ~/Downloads/google-chrome-stable_current_amd.64.deb    After reading the package list it responds:  E: Unsupported file /home/stockton/Downloads/google-chrome-stable_current_amd.64.deb given on command line   I don't know why it says E: file, I though Linux drives and files are not named after letters like Windows drives, for example 'C:' but idk I can still be wrong. I did have Windows 10 before I booted Ubuntu.  Any help will be great.

I'm writing a program that needs to download GPG keys for various distributions to do unattended net installs. To do this securely and in an automated way, I need to download the key via HTTPS, which means "gpg --recv-keys" isn't an option. Other distributions (e.g., Fedora) make their keys available on their websites via HTTPS (e.g., ), but I can't find the Ubuntu key file anywhere on ubuntu.com. Does anyone know where I can get it via HTTPS?

I want to choose where on a hard drive the application is stored when installing it via Ubuntu Software Center. I am not looking for a general setting for all applications, but rather I would like to set the exact folder on hard drive where the currently installed applications will be stored. Also is it a problem to store the application to a NTFS partition?

I am going to put an additional (non-USB) hard drive in my system. I already have Ubuntu on my other hard drive so I do not want to install Ubuntu on the additional drive but only use it for storage. How do I add the additional hard drive to my Ubuntu system, e.g. make Ubuntu recognize it and mount it properly?

I want to know where Google Play stores downloaded .apk files. I've heard that Google Play doesn't send you an .apk file and installation is completely online. Is it true?

I have used  to create an installable / live bootable flash drive from Ubuntu 12.04. However that didn't preserve the normal Ubuntu boot menu which allows to me to enter advanced options. It has a custom menu that I can pick from predefined choices like "Install Ubuntu" and "Try Ubuntu without installing". What I would like is to be able to boot from the USB flash drive, but then be able to remove it from the computer once the desktop has loaded. The laptop I would like to use this on does not have an optical (CD/DVD) drive - nor do I have a USB version available.  What do I need to modify on the flash drive to add an option to "Try Ubuntu (RAM)" that passes the TORAM=yes parameter to the initrd options? Are their other things I need to touch/change as well? Is it even possible? I am not restricted to version 12.04 if that makes a difference.  Bonus: I would guess the answer would also allow for other options like acpi=off as well, but if it is different I would appreciate having that answer too.

I've got a friend who wants to try Ubuntu on his netbook, but doesn't have a USB drive he can use, and of course the netbook doesn't have a CD drive. Is it possible for him to install Ubuntu?

The same (or similar) topic was already covered on Ask Ubuntu some time ago:  I just performed a new clean installation of Ubuntu 16.04. To my surprise, the &quot;Ubuntu app&quot; was still showing up and has full access to my Google account. I don't understand why, it's quite frustrating. What is this? I have not given &quot;Ubuntu&quot; such permission. Might it be some malicious code? Might this malicious code come from some of the Chromium extensions I have installed, which re-install themselves when I'm starting up and logging in with Chromium for the first time? I have installed Chromium by using the terminal: sudo apt-get install chromium-browser  Also, the Ubuntu URL is &quot;http://&quot; and not the official &quot;https://&quot;.

This should be a simple thing.  I followed the instruction on "" to install "Go" on Ubuntu.   Downloaded it Unzipped it to "usr/local" Added the path in "/etc/profile" (export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin)   But when I type in "go" it says "The program 'go' is currently not installed".  What should I do?

I am wondering, when you select the option of just "Try Ubuntu" instead of installing, where does Ubuntu store the files that you download / copy / save?  I right click in the Home folder, and it specified I had 4GB free space. Where did it get this 4GB space from, and if I transition to another OS system, how can I access or delete all the previous data from the session of "Try Ubuntu"?  Thank you!

I just read . It talks about downloading an AppImage.     Yes, Linux; the Linux packages is distributed as an .appimage for 32-bit and 64-bit distributions, and should run across all major Linux distributions without any issues. The team currently have no plan to provide a native .deb (or .rpm) installer.   What are AppImages? How do they differ from snaps?

Greeting's, to clarify; my question is not creating a Live USB drive or a persistence partition but creating a USB with GRUB bootloader (or other) and Kali which can be used on any machine. This is similar to running other linux OS directly from USB. I am currently running Ubuntu from a pen drive. I installed the OS (Ubuntu) and the bootloader on the pen drive and I can boot off it anywhere. Here is a video explaining the same (video is not by me: )  Since, Kali's installer doesn't give option to select which drive to write the booloader to and directly writes on the HDD (sda1). This means even if I partition and install Kali on a pen drive since the bootloader will be installed on the machines fixed primary drive, the USB drive will fail to boot on a different device.  I have two questions:   Anyone has any idea how to write bootloader to a USB drive and what parameters should be given so that it boots with Kali installed on it. I am using graphic install mode for installing Kali on the USB drive, however there is no option for the install to be encrypted (Full disk encryption or at least /home folder to be encrypted). Does anyone know how can I install Kali with full disk / home folder encryption? Or enable is post install?   Thank You!
