Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] Installing Lubuntu to usb drives
On Saturday 08,May,2010 04:53 PM, Goh Lip wrote: I've come across many instances (mainly Ubuntu) of people installing the OS to the usb and they are actually running the livecd OS. There are many guides (like penlinux?) and including unetbootin that will install the livecd at the usb drives. There is nothing wrong with that, provided people understand it's the livecd that's running and there are ways to help manually installed appplications 'stick' like casper-rw and the adding of 'persistent' in the kernel line. And puppy linux creates a small partition at the hd to aid that. However, there are obvious disadvantages; the more serious being newer kernels will not be able to be installed and several booting issues as well. I would highly recommend that should you want Lubuntu be installed to a usb stick, *and it's perfect for that*, install it like a normal installation, just that the partition you install to is the usb partition. One important thing to watch out is that at the stage where the installer ask where you want the grub to be installed, please specify the usb drive and never the mbr. Take particular care of the designation of that usb drive (sdb, sdc or sdd) before installation and specify that when asked where grub is to be installed. Note there may be a warning message that installing other to mbr 'is a BAD IDEA'. Nevertheless, proceed. (I understand that this message has been removed, but I cannot verify this). It is a 'BADDER IDEA' to install grub to mbr when /boot is not in the hard drive. To use Lubuntu at the usb drive after installation, at most computers, the keys 'esc', F12', 'F8' will allow you to select the drive to boot up. Older computers may require you to go to bios to do that. Keep that in mind when you take your portable Lubuntu usb drive to other computers. And at your own desktop computer, update-grub of the desktop OS while the Lubuntu usb drive is mounted will enable the desktop OS grub to include your Lubuntu usb drive in the boot menu. Of course running Lubuntu from a SATA hard drive is faster as usb transfer speed is slower. But you may be surprised, as I was, how Lubuntu performs. Ubuntu, Kubuntu ,even the netbook remix, crawls due to the 'bulk' it must carry. Puppy linux, DSL linux do not have the 'polish' of good fonts, codecs, graphics and just plain 'usability'. I brought this up as too many people are installing livecd to the usb drives and I think it's good to set this right especially Lubuntu is just perfect for this. Also, I will appreciate any comment, feedback or disagreement. Regards - Goh Lip Hello Goh Lip, I was planning on doing this at some stage (I just installed Lubuntu to my laptop in a separate partition and I am reading up on update-grub right now).

Would an Install to USB how-to be a useful addition to our wiki? David, that was fast! I am not a good source for swap and 'swappiness' but from what I know, and others please correct me if I am wrong, the following points hold o when installing an OS to usb drive, the desktop hard drive swap is enabled at the fstab of the usb OS as well. (I verified this). In other words, when using the usb OS at the desktop where it was installed, the swap is automatically enabled due to the presence of the fstab entry, (unless of course the uuid is changed) o For many cases for new computers, the swap is usually zero or close to zero, ie, no need for swap unless extremely high stress applications is run (or more usually, before adobe flash crashes your firefox :) ). The 'newer' uses for swap is for hibernation and sleep and this requires a slightly more memory than your ram memory. o Yes, rewrites will degrade flash and hard drive memory but I think it will require 'petazillions' to do that now that most home users will have no need to worry about that. Having said that, what should you do? Actually, I don't know. ;) But I'll you what I did. With hard drive memory so much now, I allocate a more than enough to my hard drive swap. 2.5 x ram. But my flash? Zilch! And I don't lose any sleep over it.

Hi, David, just a thought, maybe this might help..
You might want to ensure that your S'pore test system have hard drive
swap to a reasonable volumn, say at least 600 Mb. Then change your
Lubuntu fstab to include that swap partition so that when running on
that test system, it can use that.
As you mentioned, there is probably no need for the swap at your laptop.

ps: S'pore still have computers less than 1 Gb ram?
Thought they'd all be in Batam by now. :)

128 MB RIMMs are installed. It's such a museum piece, I had to keep it

Assuming the answer to 1. is Yes, what should be added/changed/deleted from the template to make it more useful? 3.

[Lubuntu-desktop] Keyboard weirdness, Lubuntu Lucid Beta 3 - very fringe case
Hello all, I've spotted what appears to be a bug in the installer that can be run from the Live CD desktop environment if one chooses Try Lubuntu without installing from the main menu. Or the problem could be in the desktop environment itself. It is such a fringe case, though, that I am not sure if it is worth pursuing. It is 100% reproducible on this hardware. The system is one I have scraped together while I am stuck in Italy. I plan to use it for testing, as I have a more powerful laptop at my disposal. The system is a home built PC based on a 440BX motherboard, and it has a French keyboard. To produce the error: 1. Boot the Lubuntu Lucid Beta 3 Live CD 2. Accept the default language, English, from the boot menu 3. Press F3 and select France for the keymap 4. Choose the Try Lubuntu without installing from the primary boot menu 5. At the desktop, start the installer 6. On the keyboard selection screen of the installer (step 3) the installer guesses France - Alternative 7. Press the radio button for Choose your own 8. Select France from the right-hand window list 9. Try typing text in the test field; the keyboard produces no output 10. Open leafpad or LXTerminal; still no output from the keyboard 11. Quit the installer and restart the system from the Logoff menu item; the CD ejects, but the system does not restart. Later steps in installation will require the keyboard, I assume, so at this point installation has failed. Note: if leafpad or LXTerminal is used prior to starting the installer, then the problem does not occur. Text appears in these apps. Once the installer is started, text appears in the test field of step 3, Workaround: 1. Do not use F3 to choose a keymap; or 2. Open leafpad or another text-input app, type something, then start the installer. So, is this important enough for a formal bug report? Should I try the Ubuntu Lucid Beta to see if the problem occurs there also?

Regards, Julien Lavergne Yes, I know all the above is dead boring, but we're going to have n00bs hit lubuntu they are going to need their hands holding. I'm having a chat with a couple of people regarding how to make a minimal iso with lubuntu on, but with the onset of 10.04 release they're a bit busy. Regards, Phill. Hello all, I've been away from the project for a while because of various chaotic influences in my life. I'm intent on getting re-involved. I will pay some attention to the wiki ASAP, including setting up the documentation section, as suggested.

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] RAM and CPU Requierments
Eduard Gotwig wrote: How many RAM and CPU does Lubuntu 10.4 will require? i have a 266 mhz pentium 2 processor,126 mb ram and 5 gb disk space and what linux kernel we would take? Hello Eduard Gotwig, This is much too under-powered for any distribution based on Ubuntu, as Zsolt Peter Basak has already remarked, and in detail. However, there are other Unix-like operating systems that can run on such hardware. The trade off is that installation will be more challenging, and effective use of the system will require using the shell more than a graphical interface. GUI's need more powerful hardware. There is simply no way around that requirement. On the plus side, you will gain a deeper knowledge of the internals of the Unix-like OS. If this interests you, check out the BSDs: http://www.freebsd.org/ http://netbsd.org/ http://openbsd.org/ I would use FreeBSD for a desktop or low-end server. OpenBSD would be my choice for a gateway or firewall system.
