unjustice1 | I am trying to make a live usb to boot and then install ubuntu studio have been having a lot of issues with the 22.04 iso found here: https://ubuntustudio.org/download/ | 02:19 |
---|---|---|
unjustice1 | Is there a more reliable one somewhere? | 02:19 |
Eickmeyer | unjustice1: The exact same instructions are linked here: https://ubuntu.com/tutorials/install-ubuntu-desktop#3-create-a-bootable-usb-stick | 02:20 |
Eickmeyer | Pretty much the way to do it and what we endorse. | 02:20 |
Eickmeyer | What system are you starting from? | 02:21 |
unjustice1 | I bought a new System76 and it crapped out running Ubuntu 22.04, I am using an old windows laptop to get Ubuntu Studio on a USB to reinstall | 02:22 |
Eickmeyer | unjustice1: Then either BalenaEtcher or Rufus can be used. Either one should do the trick. | 02:22 |
unjustice1 | I tried rufus and unetbootin, the USB would just lock on a blank screen after boot | 02:22 |
Eickmeyer | Did you check to make sure the download was complete? | 02:23 |
unjustice1 | The download seems to fail a lot, but the one that finished was complete | 02:24 |
unjustice1 | not sure how to check md5sums on winblows | 02:24 |
unjustice1 | I was worried that the iso was messed up in some way and downloaded 20.04, but I just started the DL again a minute ago...maybe this time it will work | 02:25 |
Eickmeyer | md5sums are not published anymore. | 02:25 |
Eickmeyer | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToSHA256SUM | 02:25 |
Eickmeyer | https://ubuntu.com/tutorials/how-to-verify-ubuntu#1-overview | 02:25 |
Eickmeyer | https://www.windowsdigitals.com/verify-md5-sha256-checksum-windows-11/ | 02:26 |
Eickmeyer | unjustice1: If you've been having trouble downloading, that's a very good reason to check the sha256sum as, even though your system might report a complete download, it might not be. | 02:27 |
unjustice1 | Yeah, a bit strange. It just keeps failing | 02:28 |
Eickmeyer | Torrent might also improve reliability. | 02:28 |
unjustice1 | I'll give that a shot | 02:28 |
Eickmeyer | unjustice1: What country are you located in? I might be able to find you a closer mirror. | 02:28 |
unjustice1 | USA, east coast | 02:28 |
Eickmeyer | Standby.. | 02:29 |
Eickmeyer | unjustice1: Try from here: https://mirror.us.leaseweb.net/ubuntu-cdimage/ubuntustudio/releases/22.04.3/release/ | 02:29 |
Eickmeyer | That's an approved mirror. | 02:29 |
unjustice1 | Weird, these ones fail instantly. The other one got part way through atleast | 02:30 |
unjustice1 | I might try a different browser, let's see | 02:31 |
Eickmeyer | This one is UK, but who knows: https://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/cdimage.ubuntu.com/cdimage/ubuntustudio/releases/22.04.3/release/ | 02:33 |
unjustice1 | OMG, stupid me the HD is full | 02:34 |
Eickmeyer | That'd do it! | 02:34 |
unjustice1 | So, a follow up question. Ubuntu is already installed on my computer but won't boot in anything but recovery mode due to some wild errors...that I am not really looking to fix. I will probably just reinstall. | 02:49 |
unjustice1 | However, I would like to move some files before I wipe the whole thing and reformat. From the USB boot, can I get access to this via terminal before I wipe it? | 02:50 |
unjustice1 | Normally recovery mode is read only | 02:50 |
Eickmeyer | You should be able to, yes. | 02:55 |
Eickmeyer | Even from the file manager. | 02:55 |
unjustice1 | Alright, I will give it a go | 02:56 |
unjustice1 | There is no mouse cursor apparent | 03:18 |
Eickmeyer | There was when I tested that .iso image and approved it for release. | 03:23 |
Eickmeyer | It hasn't been modified since. | 03:23 |
unjustice1 | It seems mostly fine, I am just assuming that I can get the mouse to work after the install | 03:24 |
unjustice1 | seems like everyon just installs gnome-tweaks, but not sure this will work with KDE...we'll see | 03:27 |
unjustice1 | Super frustrating, changing cursor size, type has no effect | 04:06 |
unjustice1 | reboot, logout, and disconnecting/reconnecting makes no effect either. It doesn't matter if I switch to another mouse either | 04:07 |
unjustice1 | still no cursor | 04:07 |
