Re: [lubuntu-users] Boot Lubuntu from USB bios & uefi

[Nio Wiklund]

Hi again Wilbert,

It is true that these images are not part of the official Ubuntu project 
including Lubuntu.


These images are developed and maintained by me. Phill Whiteside is 
providing a server, where I upload them and you can download them.


It means that I have created the md5sums, that you should use to check 
them, and if there are problems, you can ask me how to solve them.


Best regards
Nio

There are two images dated 27-May-2016:

dd_text_16.04-UEFI-n-BIOS_2016-05-27_4-pendrive-7.8GB.img.xz
dd_text_16.04-UEFI-n-BIOS_2016-05-27_intel-4-pendrive-7.8GB.img.xz

Which one would you advise?

Best regards,

Wilbert

Dear Wilbert,

The *Intel* one, because in this case we can expect that at least some 
of the computers will have Intel graphics. It works with other graphics 
chips/cards too, and a package with improved software for Intel graphics 
in added to that image file.

Dear all,

For a course in Ivory Coast I want to distribute USB sticks with
Lubuntu
Linux and a Docker container inside. Docker works only for 64
bits OS,
so I need a 64 bits version.

Since I don't know whether the students' computers work with BIOS or
UEFI, it would be great to create bootable pendrives that work
for any
computer.

I studied a bit about syslinux and found this very complicated,
and also
very risky. This is simply too much for me.

I looked around further and found this site:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/UEFI-and-BIOS

with a repository of images at:
http://phillw.net/isos/linux-tools/uefi-n-bios/


made by Phil Whiteside. That looks wonderful. My question is now: is
there also a 64 bit version available? For some it is explicitely
indicated that they are meant for i386 (so I should not use
them), but I
feel unsure about the other ones.

Also: we buy either 8GB or 16 GB pendrives. Which image would
work best?

Best regards,

Wilbert


Dear Wilbert,

The UEFI-and-BIOS systems dated May 2016 are 64-bit. These systems
are *installed* systems (can be installed into USB sticks, SSDs,
HDDs or memory cards, and works like a normal installed system).

If you intend to use the USB sticks also for installing systems into
other computers, it might be a good idea to have live systems or
persistent live systems. The Lubuntu 64-bit iso files can also boot
in both BIOS and UEFI mode.

Is it possible that some student has a 32-bit computer? You can make
persistent live systems with 32-bit Lubuntu, that can boot in both
32-bit computers and 64-bit computers, and in both BIOS and UEFI
mode. This is when you use the usb-pack-efi for booting.

So maybe you should make some master USB sticks just to check that
they work for you, and maybe bring more than one configuration, even
if I understand that the focus is on 64-bit systems.

-o-

It is much easier to find USB 3 pendrives with good performance
among those with 16 GB. See this link and links from it for details
about the data transfer speed of pendrives.
