Make sure this USB device is properly formatted and mounted. an Ubuntu flavour ISO file (see GettingUbuntu to download it) Notes about speed The most common USB ports and USB flash drives work according to the USB 2 standard. Booting from USB 2 from a live drive is faster than from a corresponding CD/DVD disk. Standard USB 2 flash drives have rather slow flash hardware, with read and write speed much slower than the transfer speed of USB 2, so it is worth checking if the speed is specified. USB 1.1 is also possible to use, but it is very slow, slower than a corresponding CD/DVD disk. Hardware according to the USB 3 standard is much faster than USB 2. So if you have a USB 3 port and a USB 3 flash drive, booting and running will be as fast as from an internal drive (SATA or IDE) or an external eSATA drive. And a USB 3 flash drive has much faster flash hardware, and it is usually specified. The market changes quickly, so it is worth checking on the internet, which brand and model to select to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick 1/9 5/20/2015 Installation/FromUSBStick ­ Community Help Wiki get the best buy 'today'. USB 3 flash drives are much faster than USB 2 flash drives also in USB 2 ports, because the flash hardware is not limiting the transfer speed. For the same reason a USB connected HDD is also much faster than a USB 2 flash drive. USB 2 flash drives are particularly slow when there are many small files to read and write. This makes then very slow when running persistent live systems and 'installed systems' (installed in the normal way, but to a USB drive). Also the lifetime (number of write operations on a memory cell) is much higher with the high quality hardware in USB 3 flash drives. But still, you should use noatime in fstab and use swap only for extreme situations to avoid excessive wear. A LED (light emitting diode) helps you avoid unplugging the USB flash drive too early (while it is saving data from the buffers in RAM), and decreases the risk of corrupting the file system. Flash drive tests are described by C.S.Cameron in this link, post #5. See also the following links Link to USB 3.0 Flash Drive Speed Tests Link to USB 2 and USB 3 speed tests for installers Conclusion Standard USB 2 flash drives are good for normal live systems. Typically the speed is between 4 and 20 MB/s. USB 2 flash drives work, but USB 3 drives (or USB 2 HDDs) are recommended for persistent live systems and 'installed systems'. In the beginning of 2014, it seems that there are no really fast pendrives below 16 GB. Notes about size 1 GB is enough for a live USB flash drive made from a 'CD size' iso file. But unless you already have a 1 GB drive, you are recommended to get one with at least 2 GB, hence the general recommendation above. 2 GB is enough for 'CD size' iso files as well as many but not all 'DVD size' iso files. If you want a persistent live system with a decent size casper­rw storage, you need at least 4 GB (2 GB is possible, but might soon run out of space). If you want an installed system you need at least 8 GB (4 GB is possible with Lubuntu, but might soon run out of space). In the beginning of 2014, it seems that there are no really fast pendrives below 16 GB. If you want a fast system, install it into a pendrive that performs well in a test, even if it is 'bigger than necessary'. Notes about bootability Most but not all USB pendrives are reliable for booting, even many of the slower ones, and they are much cheaper, and should be OK particularly for regular read­only live drives (without persistence). Some computer hardware and some operating systems have issues with certain ports. And some USB pendrives just have issues also. Some of them cannot be used for booting. They are made to be mass storage devices, and have not exactly the same electronics and firmware. Some USB pendrives and computers 'do not like each other'. The pendrive might boot another computer, and the computer might boot from another pendrive (everything else being the same). This is a link to test by Pendrivelinux including bootablility of USB flash drives. This test was made a few years ago. The cheap and slow Sandisk Cruzer Blade, 4GB, can be added to the list of reliable pendrives for booting. I have used it extensively for years and it has failed only once (chainloading from Plop in a very old computer). This link shows a bootability test in January 2014. Some pendrives that did not work are shown in this link. This user is not the only one who likes 32GB Sandisk. The flash hardware This link to a post by DuckHook in the Ubuntu Forums describes how a flash drive works, and how it can fail, first getting read­only, then totally 'bricked'. The following link describes different hardware problems and what can be done to repair a USB stick/pendrive/flash drive http://www.wikihow.com/Repair­a­USB­Flash­Drive. Look for the tips and warnings! Creating a bootable Ubuntu USB flash drive from Ubuntu Install and run Startup Disk Creator alias usb­creator You can find usb­creator­gtk in the Unity Dash by typing "Startup Disk Creator" (Ubuntu Desktop) or usb­creator­kde in K­Menu­­ >Applications­­>System­­>Startup Disk Creator (Kubuntu). If it is not there, then you can install it using the Synaptic Package Manager or Ubuntu Software Center https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick 2/9 5/20/2015 Installation/FromUSBStick ­ Community Help Wiki Insert and mount the USB drive. Inserting the USB drive should auto­mount it. Start usb­creator. It looks like this in 13.10: in the top pane of usb­creator, pick the .iso file that you downloaded. if the .iso file isn't listed, click "Other" to locate and select the .iso file that you downloaded. Alternately, if you have a CD or DVD­ROM with the Ubuntu version you want to install on the USB flash drive, insert it in your CD­ ROM drive and usb­creator can use that. It is not necessary to erase the USB flash drive, however it is advisable that you do so.

  • Ubuntu Releases
    APPENDIX A Ubuntu Releases Ubuntu is the result of tens of thousands of software projects coming together and receiving polish and integration. From the incredible work done by the Debian project to the focused effort by the Ubuntu community, this takes time and care. Canonical drives much of the design for the Unity interface and the foundational work done to support cloud, server, phone, and embedded platforms. But the bulk of the actual development and coding is done by the greater Free Software community. Release Schedule Every six months, Ubuntu syncs its software repositories with Debian and works to polish and improve the software, sending general fixes back “upstream” to Debian whenever possible. After another couple of months, the software has improved and a new Ubuntu release is made. When the Ubuntu project officially launched in 2004, it promised a new release every 6 months, with security and maintenance support for 18 months. Each release was given a version number matching the year and month of its release, so the first version of Ubuntu which was released in October 2004 was called Ubuntu 4.10. After only six months of development, the release was very promising but still had some rough edges. The developers jokingly gave it the code name “warty warthog.” The software repository was named “warty.” Ubuntu 5.04 followed six months later in April and was a marked improvement. To celebrate the extra maturity of the software, it was code-named “hoary hedgehog.” Ubuntu releases are typically referred to by their release number or the adjective part of the code name.
