I can't update 12.04 LTS. The Update Manager shows this:  CD/DVD 'Ubuntu 12.04 LTS _Precise Pangolin_ - Release i386 (20120423)' is required Please insert the above CD/DVD into the drive '/media/cdrom/' to install software packages from it.   The image I downloaded and burned to CD is from  the PC (Intel x86) desktop CD version. I burned many CDs but the result is the same.

How do I make an Bootable Ubuntu USB containing the the latest version of Ubuntu?  For completeness, how would I be able to do this on Ubuntu, Windows, OS X or another Linux distro?

Do you have tips or a guide how to install Ubuntu in Microsoft Virtual PC?  I have found some (older) information, but I wonder if this is still valid. And it looks very "unfriendly".

Whenever I startup from the LinuxLive USB, and try to install Ubuntu 12.04, it only gives me two options instead of the usual 3 or 4. My options are "Replace Windows 7 with Ubuntu" and "Something Else". Whenever I go into "Something else", it looks extremely confusing. How do I install it side-by-side while using the "Something else" section? These are my partitions.   /dev/sda /dev/sda1 ntfs (104Mb, System Required Partition) /dev/sda2 ntfs (1000097Mb, Windows 7 Partition)   Or should I try reinstalling my installer on a CD rather than USB and maybe then it will have the "Install alongside" function?

I am trying to mount my ext4 (sdc6) partition from a live usb because that's how I deleted two unused partitions left from a prior install of ubuntu, using GParted. The swap is mounted. However, I can't edit fstab, or find anywhere to click in nautilus to mount sdc6. In the terminal, I get the error: "can't find /dev/sdc6 in fstab". I'm afraid to exit the usb and update grub if that partition isn't mounted. Is there any easy way to do this, or do I have to install gksu or some other editor? Or do I need to mount it as sda6?

I have a Samsung Galaxy S Plus i9001 and I would like to install Ubuntu Touch on it, but my device is not officially supported by cyanogenmod. Anyway a port exists and also some derived roms (like ehndroix). If exists, what is the path to create a working ubuntu-touch build for my device? Thank you in advance.

I was trying to install Ubuntu on an older laptop which doesn't have a DVD ROM or a USB boot capabilities.  Is there an option to burn the image files to a Cd ROM? I am pretty sure that the size of the image file may be slightly larger to fit on a CD ROM. Is there a way to split the image files and use two CD Roms instead?

Basically what I want to do is install a fresh copy of Ubuntu from Ubuntu. It is an older machine so usb boot doesn't work and I don't see why I need to waste a CD to do it. Currently running Ubuntu 11.10.  I have a 1TB drive and a second 500GB drive for backup. The 1TB drive is partitioned as:  20GB   sda1 Windows XP 20GB   sda3 Free for new OS  ~800GB sda4 Data (ext3) 60GB   sda7 /home (ext4) 20GB   sda6 / (ubuntu 11.10 ext4) 2GB    sda5 swap   After researching I decided that using unetbootin was the best option. I chose Hard Disk (frugal install) and the only option for which disk is "/". That worked and I quickly rebooted into Ubuntu 12.04 live.   Chose to install and picked custom options, set sda3 for / and sda7 for /home. The installer started but hit a wall at detecting other operating systems. It was trying to mount sda6 to find out about the existing os's on the machine, for the purpose of installing grub. And it couldn't umount sda6 because that was currently mounted as cd drive for live cd. I couldn't find an option to make the installer skip this step (I could later fix the grub in 11.10).  I have another drive with 4GB free partition and if I could get unetbootin to install to there it would all work.  So my question is - how do I get unetbootin to install to a different disk for hard-disk install? (I don't think USB Drive mode will work because it will install the grub to that disk -  but I might be wrong!)  or  How to fresh install Ubuntu from Ubuntu?

If I put a USB-drive in, it will automount. I can see it with lsblk  NAME   MAJ:MIN RM   SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT sdb      8:16   1   7,5G  0 disk  └─sdb1   8:17   1   7,5G  0 part /media/user/usb-drive   If I unmount it with umount  umount /media/user/sdb1   it will still be visible with lsblk, but not mounted any more:  NAME   MAJ:MIN RM   SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT sdb      8:16   1   7,5G  0 disk  └─sdb1   8:17   1   7,5G  0 part   but if I instead eject it by clicking the eject icon in Thunar (xfce file manager), it will disappear from the list in lsblk. Why is that so?

I want to install Ubuntu like how you would to a hard drive so I can use it as a portable system. I do not want a Live install; I want something where i can install updates, install drivers, and things like that. I'm really confused because I made a persistent install using UNetBootIn in Windows thinking that would allow me to do that and yet when I booted I still saw the "Install Ubuntu 12.04 LTS" icon.

I'm trying to make a Ubuntu live USB, but I have run into some problems:   Used LiveUSB install on my Lubuntu laptop. Breaks USB drive until reformatted, does not boot. Used Startup Disk Creator on Lubuntu. Makes bootable drive, but not persistant storage Used UNetBootin on Lubuntu, puts Ubuntu on USB stick but does not make it bootable Tried to use Universal USB Installer with WINE, but it didn't work. The first time it could only see the floppy disk drive not the USB, the next time it threw an NSIS error. Tried to use Universal USB Installer on Windows, but it needed admin permissions   I have a laptop with Lubuntu installed* (that I have the sudo password for), a Windows 8 desktop without administrator permissions and a 32GB sandisk USB stick. Is there anything else I can do to get it to work?  *IBM T-42 Thinkpad with 1GB ram and an intel Centrio mobile processor that I had to force PAE to get Lubuntu to install if it is relevant.

I could probably copy the contents from the package, but what is the best way to create an install Flash Drive for Mavericks?  Of course ideally the drive should be bootable.

When I used my USB stick to install Ubuntu, the USB appears with an Ubuntu icon in My Computer.  Is it possible to customize this icon to something I want?

I want to make a persistent live Ubuntu USB drive with more than 4GB of storage.   I know there is an option of installing directly on the drive but I don't want to do this as it will restrict the drive from working on different computers.   One option is to make an additional partition with extra space but if I do this how can I get newly installed software to be stored on this partition?

After many unsuccessful trials based on almost everything about this topic on the Internet, I decided to ask this question again. There is almost  in this platform, but it did not work. That's why I am here.  I want to have Ubuntu 18.04 installed on my USB memory stick (SanDisk Cruzer Glide 32GB) with a persistent storage of more than 4GB (at least 23GB in my case).  I used MiniTool partition wizard to format the stick (NTFS) on Windows. Then, I used Universal USB Installer 1.9.8.2 to install Ubuntu 18.04 on the stick. Here, I tried to format the stick either fat32 or ntfs, but nothing changed. Later, I used another Ubuntu to delete the casper-rw file and create another partition with the same name by following the steps given in the link given above. Unfortunately, I couldn't make it working although I tried almost all combinations.  Can anyone give a thorough list of steps to follow in order to install it on the stick properly?  Edit: I gave ear to @c-s-cameron 's comment below and used YUMI to do that, and it worked. I believe all other answers would work, but I dont have time to give a try for all of them. Thanks all, again!

I made a bootable USB drive of the downloadable Ubuntu 16.10, ran, and installed from it.  Fine.  Now after making some stock additions (like Samba, Wine, and such) I'd like to make a USB bootable copy of my particular Ubuntu.  It's still plenty small enough to fit on a stick.  Can it be done?
