Thanks and I found one in Windsor yesterday. Neither of the Slough shops had any left. I've tried to get Ubuntu working but failed. Joggler fires up, the USB stick lights for a minute or so then goes out and eventually Joggler boots normally. Initially I had the USB stick plugged into a hub with a keyboard but I have now plugged the stick direct into Joggler to eliminate a few variables. No change, though. The failure could either be that (a) I have blown the USB stick wrong or (b) that something is up with Joggler: (a) I plugged the USB stick into my normal Ubuntu machine, a Fusion partition on a mac Pro, and was able to read what was on the stick OK. I do not know how to add up the sizes of all the files on the stick to compare with the size of the impressed image file. I had used Windows and the DiskImager program to blow the stick (see http://www.stephenford.org/joggler/ ) Perhaps getting another USB stick is next? (b) When I first turned Joggler on it was obviously downloading all sorts of updates. I wonder if O2 have managed to include something to stop us booting direct into Ubuntu? (But they must have done this in the last 24 hours as a chap who had bought one on Monday had had no problem, ditto for one bought last Saturday.) I know there are a few web sites to discuss Joggler but I find web sites cumbersome and much prefer mailing lists. Is there a Joggler-Ubuntu mailing list anywhere? Or is it OK to continue here? -- Tim Powys-Lybbe [email protected] for a miscellany of bygones: http://powys.org/ -- [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
