[Lubuntu-qa] HOWTO Create LiveUSB using "dd"

Hi, After long time for me using UNetbootin and Multiboot USB Creators, etc. I feel now so bad that I haven't used this method before. Could it be even easier than this? Seriously, simplicity is the ultimate sophistication :D I'm sorry if this is a very old tip or information but I guess at leas

Hi, I didn't get an reply from you guys for two days now :D I hope everyone is busy with testing ;) Ok, thanks to Phill who advised to go for the alternate image instead of the desktop one (i386 for both) and indeed, the alternate image installation is DONE successfully from the first time :D I

You are doing great work guys. However I am not sure about that 9 month updates, nor about Mir, and other things of Canonical vision. Otherwise, I would help myself too. Keep doing a great work. Ioannis Vranos http://www.cppsoftware.net On Sat, Apr 6, 2013 at 6:29 PM, Ali Linx (amjjawad) wr

Re: [Lubuntu-qa] HOWTO Create LiveUSB using "dd"

Amjjawad: When you use the package "usb-creator-gtk", it creates for you a file system (called a "persistence file") where changes you make (including packages you download) remain on the USB drive, so next time you boot it, you still have those new packages, along with any configuration you

Ali, and all: Yesterday, using a Live-USB created by the (ubuntu repository) "usb-creator-gtk" package (and the beta2 13.04 Lubuntu system), I installed a system running the live USB, on my 450 megahertz, 512 megabyte RAM HP-Vectra system. I did not have to remove the ubiquity slideshow pack

Re: [Lubuntu-qa] HOWTO Create LiveUSB using "dd"

Hello Aera, The method that I sent and wanted to share it with those who haven't heard about it nor used it before, is to create a LiveUSB and quite honestly, I have no idea if that is a 'persistence' or not? For testing, 99.9% I used Real Hardware. This is more fun and I just love it this way. I

Ali, the last update I saw was that alternate worked, and you were going to try the dd method with desktop? I'm just off out with my parents for a meal, but will be back on-line later. Can you post up how you fared with desktop. Regards, Phill. On 6 April 2013 18:09, Ali Linx (amjjawad) wrote

Hi Ali I don't understand your problem making install USB drives. Please explain! I've done some testing of the lubuntu raring beta2 desktop 32-bit iso (and reported it to the qa tracker). I have made a CD with k3b, a live USB cloned with dd, and live/persistent live USB drives with usb-creator-

Hi Aere, it's always good to get new testers on board! I know that the wiki page for Testing [1] can seem a lot to take on board at one reading, it holds a lot of background information and is split into various sections, which will then take you to other sections that provide fuller detail. I'd s
