No need to apologize. At least I now know that, sometimes, when a bootable USB flash drive fails to boot, it can be because of the particular BIOS/UEFI firmware on the box, assuming the ISO was...
Sorry for the late reply, this is still an active thread. Like you, I'm trying to juggle the daily requirements of life with other things.
Now that I think of it, I do remember trying to...
What qualifies as a "like box" when testing an unbootable USB flash drive when doing QA? Do you use a machine with the same OS version? Or do you use a machine with the same chipset/motherboard?...
Now this is interesting. I've had trouble in the past with unbootable USB flash drives, which led me to throw my hands in the air and give up. The first time was when I wanted to try a...
Sorry for reposting on an old thread, I just wanted to keep the thread open in case I encountered any issues after upgrading to a new OS version. I ended up installing Ubuntu 18.04 LTS after...
That's okay. I really appreciate you taking time out of your busy schedule to answer some of my questions.
I see. I'm just more used to .deb packages, where you can use the application immediately without having to restart.
I just did a:
printenv
to see what the XDG_DATA_DIRS variable is set...
Oh, it works. I just couldn't find GIMP when I would search for "GIMP" in the Overview Screen search until after I ran the following command:
flatpak run org.gimp.GIMP
I just wasn't sure...
Thanks. I think I'll just do an:
alias gimp='flatpak run org.gimp.GIMP > /dev/null 2>&1 &'
to allow me to access GIMP from the command line from now on. Since I'm more familiar with .deb...
Thanks. That worked. Am I going to have to run the same command every time I need to access GIMP or is this a permanent solution? Sorry, but I'm more used to dealing with simple .deb packages.
According to this guide, although I was initially hesitant installing GIMP using Flatpak, the guide states that installing GIMP using Flatpak is the official way of installing GIMP on Ubuntu 18.04,...
I have a Dell Inspiron 17R N7110 with a 64-bit Intel Core i3-2310M CPU @ 2.10GHz × 4 with Intel HD 3000 integrated graphics with 4GB of system RAM and a 500GB hard drive.
According to this Ask...
blocks=$(expr $(stat -c '%s' ubuntu-18.04.3-desktop-amd64.iso) / 2048)
dd if=/dev/sr1 bs=2048 count=$blocks | md5sum
OK, I've used stat for other purposes, mainly to check access times, which I...
You're right. I just tested the bootable DVD that I successfully created. The "check CD for defects" option is hidden by default, unless you press a key -- I think, any key will do -- soon after the...

It's been awhile since I've installed from a live DVD -- I'm still on Ubuntu 16.04 -- but I vaguely remember seeing that option somewhere in the past, but I couldn't...
@CatKiller
That makes much more sense.
I think I will do this from now on, instead of using K3b to verify the disc for me. Is md5sum capable of highlighting files whose md5sums don't match, or do...
I used K3b to burn and verify the disc, and was able to successfully boot from the resulting burned DVD. So, what do you think the problem was, a malfunctioning CD/DVD drive?
Also, when you...
Just received the DVD burner, but I'm a bit nervous; when I opened the box from Amazon, and looked at the back of the box from the manufacturer (inside the Amazon box), it only said DVD-RW. That's...
I'm not sure if I understand this part. The computer I'm on uses BIOS as its firmware, but uses GRUB as its bootloader. At least, I think it uses GRUB as its bootloader. Here's what my bootloader...
Nope. I used Startup Disk Creator, through the GUI, to create the bootable USB stick, since I'm more used to creating live DVDs, at least, that's what I've done in the past.
Huh, I didn't even...
It sucks because I'm doing this for a friend; he uses a desktop with Windows 7 that's going to reach EOL on January 14, 2020. Being less-than-tech-literate, I gave him three options: either upgrade...
When I insert the burned DVD and run the above command I get:
xorriso 1.4.2 : RockRidge filesystem manipulator, libburnia project.
Drive current: -outdev '/dev/sr0'
Media current: DVD+R...
I'd like to do that, but for some reason, I can't seem to be able to find the mount point of the CD/DVD drive. It's been awhile since I've created a live DVD, but, in the past, I've used the mount...
It's not a USB CD/DVD drive. It's a laptop with an embedded CD/DVD drive. The battery on the laptop is dead, so the laptop is running directly from current, but that shouldn't matter as I have...
