Can't Create Bootable USB

Good evening;
Following instructions on-line I attempted to create a bootable USB drive (32GB Sandsik extreme) with Linux 17.1 installed to enable a trial before attempting a permanent install beside windows 7 on a new computer with Win7 prof. installed.

On the usb I see a 4.0 GB area highlighted in G Parted but not accessible from the Linux file manager. This shows up as a ~1.4 GB sub-directory titled casper. and also as 4.0 GB 'file' named casper-rw. Can anyone explain what is the purpose of this sub-directory? The software I used to create the usb bootable drive and install Linux to is 'Universal-USB-Installer-1.9.5.9'. This is a windows executable. My intent was to create a bootable usb drive for Linux that also contained my required hardware drivers, etc. This doesn't appear to be working 100%; although Linux 17.1 boots the nvidia hardware drivers do not appear to be available even though I downloaded these and they are on the same usb. On boot-up a message box indicates that hardware acceleration is not enabled and higher than normal processor usage may occur.

Any assistance / direction, etc. would be greatly appreciated.

Regards;
Mike

Hey Newbie Here

Have A Acer C720 Chomebook With An Upgraded SSD 128GB, Run Ubuntu Threw Cruton But Dont Know To Much

Have Legacy Boot And Really Into Messing Around

Looking For A Bootable Virtual Machine OS, What I Mean Is A Small Operating System With Enough To Support Hardware And Qemu Or Better Installation, Size Dose'nt Matter And Hopefully Something Already Put Together But I Can Understand Instructons

I Once Found A Tinycore Iso That Was Bootable And Booted Straight Into A Partition-er - A Bootable Partition-er And All Around Bootable Disk Management Os..... I Love The Idea Of Bootable Software, It Was Only Like 40+ Megs

Ive Looked All Around Google And Couldent Find Anything

Tried To Make one Myself And Cant Understand How To Put Together Something Like That

Even Just A Terminal That Boots Qemu With The Right Command Or Something That Compares To A Bootable Tinycore Program

Thanks, Open To Better Newer Ideas , And Anything Helps

Hi all,I'm new member of this forum.
I started using linux 1-2 month ago and I like it.

On elementary OS, youtube video has bad,low quality.
The same video on windows has good quality.
Also on Linux Mint it has also good quality.

I've main problem with elementary os.
I've Intel HD 3000 video card(VGA)

Hp 4330s laptop.

What can I do?

Would love to see Camtasia Studio (Techsmith) Ported to Linux. It is a fantastic program for creating videos, editing videos, and creating Website and YouTube videos, and even to create video for Facebook etc.

It's one of the best video editing software I have ever seen, but sadly I cannot find it in Linux.

I guess the place to start is their website.

Hi all,

was wondering if there was a program out there that will allow me to make notes at a specific time during a lecture video? The reason why i ask is because how i am doing it ATM is stupid as i have WAY too many notes in gedit and tomboy.

thanks,

Hello,

I have recently installed Elementary OS on my HP 550 laptop. While everything is running as expected, I've run into a small problem when attempting to watch videos on Youtube using Chromium.

The video loads fine but displays little yellow rectangles all over the video. According to Youtube, Chromium uses HTML5 rather than Flash - maybe that is the issue - but I am thinking it maybe a graphics driver issue. The videos run absolutely fine on Firefox and will stick to that if necessary, but I would prefer to use Chromium.

I have tried using Code:

gksu jockey-gtk

and it couldnt find any drivers to install.

This Code:

lspci | grep VGA

says:
Code:

00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile GME965/GLE960 Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 0c)

Many Thanks

I downloaded Linux Mint "Rebecca". When I open the ISO it gave me a window to burn the ISO to disc. After I burned to disc the disc is not bootable.

Hi All,

I recently decided to tryout Linux and dual booted my laptop (originally just had windows 8) with Xubuntu. Now I want to try out Kali Linux. So I downloaded Kali and made a bootable USB, the problem is that when I try to boot from the USB it just brings up the grub menu asking me to select Xubuntu, Windows etc. I've changed the boot menu in the BIOS but that has no effect.

I've tried booting into windows and the restarting by holding shift but when I select the usb option it just says:

"system doesn't have any USB boot option. Please select other boot option in Boot Manager Menu"

and then returns to the grub menu. I don't understand because I used a bootable usb to install xubunto?

I'd be really grateful if anyone can help me out with this!

Thanks
