[02:19] <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?
[02:20] <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.
[02:21] <Eickmeyer> What system are you starting from?
[02:22] <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
[02:23] <Eickmeyer> Did you check to make sure the download was complete?
[02:24] <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
[02:25] <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

[02:27] <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.
[02:28] <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
[02:29] <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.
[02:30] <unjustice1> Weird, these ones fail instantly. The other one got part way through atleast
[02:31] <unjustice1> I might try a different browser, let's see
[02:33] <Eickmeyer> This one is UK, but who knows: https://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/cdimage.ubuntu.com/cdimage/ubuntustudio/releases/22.04.3/release/
[02:34] <unjustice1> OMG, stupid me the HD is full
[02:34] <Eickmeyer> That'd do it!
[02:49] <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. 
[02:50] <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
[02:55] <Eickmeyer> You should be able to, yes.
[02:55] <Eickmeyer> Even from the file manager.
[02:56] <unjustice1> Alright, I will give it a go
[03:18] <unjustice1> There is no mouse cursor apparent
[03:23] <Eickmeyer> There was when I tested that .iso image and approved it for release.
[03:23] <Eickmeyer> It hasn't been modified since.
[03:24] <unjustice1> It seems mostly fine, I am just assuming that I can get the mouse to work after the install
[03:27] <unjustice1> seems like everyon just installs gnome-tweaks, but not sure this will work with KDE...we'll see
[04:06] <unjustice1> Super frustrating, changing cursor size, type has no effect
[04:07] <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
