Tech Review Linux: Saturday, April 28, 2012

 

The nightmare I had last Friday was caused to two issues.
  1. I was using an older Ubuntu (10.4) with a laptop with newer graphics
    1. laptop
      1. HP Pavilion dv67 Select Edition
    2. graphics 
      1. Intel HD Graphics 3000
  2. The recommended install on the Ubuntu site is broke
    1. http://www.ubuntu.com/download/help/create-a-usb-stick-on-windows
      1. They recommended Pen Drive Linux; however, the USB stick didn't work for 12.04
    2. Creating a stick with LinuxLive USB Creator did work.
      1. http://www.linuxliveusb.com/
    3. Used Tuxboot as the install method to the USB stick.
      1. http://tuxboot.org/index.php
      2. The Tuxboot automatically download the relatively small install.
      3. Download was here:   http://tuxboot.org/download/files-on-sf.php
