| the_rooter | i went to the xubuntu website and read about some issues that the 15.10 and i want to format my usb sticks so i can make a new usb flash for xubuntu lts, but it keeps crashing and at the site said there is another method and i cant figure it out for the life of me on how to do this | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| pleia2 | !usb | 00:00 |
| ubottu | For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent | 00:00 |
| pleia2 | that goes over a couple methods | 00:00 |
| the_rooter | i read them both through twice and i understand how to make the usb flash drive. I first format my usb stick with the disk program and then i use unetbootin to make the flash install. I try to keep an up to date usb flash drive for lts and one for the most current. its just dont understand the other method | 00:02 |
| flocculant | the_rooter: disk program? what one> | 00:02 |
| the_rooter | its just called disks | 00:03 |
| flocculant | ok | 00:03 |
| the_rooter | i use that to format my usb drive and it doesnt go through it fails | 00:03 |
| flocculant | the_rooter: I use that all the time | 00:03 |
| flocculant | 2 ticks | 00:03 |
| flocculant | the_rooter: so make sure you have the right drive highlighted < IMPORTANT | 00:04 |
| the_rooter | i know it worked for the lts version but under the current 15.10 it says its a bug and to use another method. | 00:04 |
| flocculant | then in the menu, restore disk image and it will do what you want | 00:04 |
| the_rooter | it crashes when i do that | 00:04 |
| flocculant | the_rooter: mmm | 00:05 |
| the_rooter | at the website it sayss there is an issue with this same thing i am having under 15.10 and to use another method | 00:05 |
| flocculant | ok well it uses dd as far as I know | 00:05 |
| the_rooter | its wierd | 00:05 |
| flocculant | which website? the ubuntu wiki or us? | 00:06 |
| the_rooter | hold on let me check the exact site | 00:06 |
| flocculant | the_rooter: all the mthods have been a pain for at least a year - the ubuntu tool should have been fixed now | 00:06 |
| the_rooter | that is wierd......i just checked after trying like 5 times and it just now let me format it. thanks and sorry | 00:09 |
| flocculant | or fixed in wily | 00:09 |
| the_rooter | i think i caught my mistkae | 00:09 |
| flocculant | the_rooter: no problem - disks has been the most reliable in my experience | 00:09 |
| the_rooter | which one do u use wily or the stable release | 00:09 |
| * flocculant is trying to lead the QA team, I've been using xenial a day or so after wily landed - so ... if you wanted to hang about on a particular day and see if YOU could really help - which I expect you could, then https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/xubuntu-devel/2015-December/010985.html | 00:11 | |
| flocculant | :) | 00:11 |
| flocculant | testing is one of the places people can help without doing too much - no coding required :p | 00:12 |
| the_rooter | ok thanks | 00:13 |
| flocculant | welcome :) | 00:13 |
