I have got stuck again. With both an 8 GB and a 4 GB stick in the Joggler, lights flash on the stick when I start the Joggler but after a minute or so Joggler fires up normally. Problem 1: the USB sticks: ------------------------- The 8 GB stick has no apparent fault as all the files on it can be seen OK. The 4 GB stick starts off as 4GB but formatting brings this down to 3.4 GB and this will not hold all of Stephen Ford's image. Problem 2: Loading Ubuntu to the stick: -------------------------------------- I had originally done this on the 8 GB stick via the Windows program Disk Imager which made two partitions. As this had not worked on the Joggler, I then tried following Stephen Ford's simple instructions from his site. I unzipped (un-tar, etc) his file until I was left with this: joggler_unr_9.10_v1.3a.bin I then wiped the stick and reformatted it. The problem then came with his command of: dd if=joggler_unr_9.10_v1.3a.bin of=<your_own_device> bs=10M count=365 I did not know what <your_own_device>should be translated to. So I tried: dd if=joggler_unr_9.10_v1.3a.bin of=/dev/sdb1 bs=10M count=365 and got the response: dd: opening `/dev/sdb1': Permission denied My second attempt was with this command: dd if=joggler_unr_9.10_v1.3a.bin of=/media/C/joggler_unr_9.10_v1.3a.bin bs=10M count=365 and this got the response of: 365+0 records in 365+0 records out 3827302400 bytes (3.8 GB) copied, 707.077 s, 5.4 MB/s As above, I put the stick in the Joggler and nothing useful resulted on a reboot. -- 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/
