Questions tagged as ['usb-installation']
I recently bought a Thinkpad carbon X1 gen9 with Ubuntu preinstalled. The preinstalled Ubuntu have some problems (see this forum) and I was thinking of trying Debian.
As soon as I try to boot from the USB stick that has an image of Debian I am "thrown" into grub and I am unable to do anything else (I guess lack of knowledge).
Now, I thought that I try another distro, and tried to boot up Kubuntu. The ...
Hello Ubuntu comunity!
Greetings from Czech republic, Europe. Sorry for my very simple english, as I'm not good in it and I even do mix it with german and czech. Also sorry for local language from Terminal outputs. If some one please could help me out, I would be really very glad.
To the issue: I try to make a Lubuntu 18.04 installation USB stick for i686 notebook. But I do not get a OK for ISO file ...
I'll revisit the question here - Lubuntu 18.04: Unattended install - asked a few years ago but never answered. Is is possible to have an unattended install of Lubuntu? Cloud-init is only for Ubuntu server, but should something like kickstart or preseeding work with Lubuntu? Thank you.
I am running system-config-kickstart, and it's asking me to choose the installation medium among: CD-ROM, FTP, HTTP, or Hard Drive.
If using a USB drive, should I choose CD-ROM?
I hope everyone and their loved ones are healthy and happy.

I have this machine since a little more than a week and am working on it to install Ubuntu. Any recent version of Ubuntu will do (tried 20.04 and 21.04), single or dual boot doesn't matter much.
I boot it up with a USB "Startup Disk", ensure that the machine boots from that drive and get into grub. The first strange thing is that there's no "try Ubuntu" option... But when I select "install Ubuntu ...

Trying to do a fresh install of Ubuntu from a USB drive booted with EFI (it did not give the option to boot otherwise) to a new SSD and it goes most of the way through the process, then fails with:
install apt-cdrom add -m -d=/media/cdrom failed to finish in 10 seconds
It goes on to say that there was no output from the command. Prior to that, it creates the partitions, unpacks the image, configu ...
So I'm trying to install Ubuntu server 20.04.2 on an old Optiplex 3010, and the installation fails as soon as I get past the disk formatting page (Only installing on a partition).
I am using an old Dell laptop with Windows 8.1, and I have a USB boot drive with Ubuntu ready to go. I tried to change my BIOS boot settings to use the USB, but I cannot seem to get it to work. For some reason the BIOS is trying to use a specific file from the USB, and won't use the entire drive. It is an empty drive aside from the Ubuntu ISO files. How do I add the USB as a boot option?
I want to install Ubuntu on an external ssd that is plugged in through usb. I read about a bug that installs the boot on the windows 10 drive and I dont want that. I want to boot into Ubuntu when the external ssd is connected and into Windows when its disconnected. I read about some ways to work around this, but I am not sure which way that will be best.
Thanks, Jimmy
I know this is a common question, but I was unable to find this specific type. This what I see when I boot from a USB (the rest is just a purple screen): black box

[Not Duplicate] I couldn't find a thread directly addressing this issue, and I didn't want to take chances with my Windows installation and files.
I have a SSD running Windows 10 and an empty (formatted) HDD. I wish to install Ubuntu in the HDD ['Area 51(V:)'] without affecting the SSD (C:) files.
The step I'm confused at while installing Ubuntu is the 'Installation Type':
