Unetbootin ubuntu windows install#

Below is a quick, simple breakdown of what that guide says to do.Ĭopy over the tahoma.ttf font from a Windows install (or Download it here – ). If you’re interested in getting steam installed I used this guide – – It’s pretty simple and only takes a few minutes to do. I managed to fix this by opening up the ‘Configure Wine’ program that comes with wine and under the Applications tab switching from Windows XP mode to Windows 7, this fixed this bug and I now also have system borders on the steam windows. I added this line to all that used the “file=/cdrom/preseed/ed” option, since that’s the image that’s being opened and it should then change all options on the bootloader that will load the ubuntu install.Īfter installing Steam on my linux machine in wine I noticed a really annoy bug, the windows of steam are tiled across my screen as shown in the screenshot below. If you do, you will get more errors.Īppend initrd=/ubninit file=/cdrom/preseed/ed boot=casper quiet splash persistent. It’s easiest just to add the final word before the double dash in the file, do not copy and paste this in to your file. NOTE: WordPress changes my double dash at the end of the last line to a single long dash, this won’t work. So on the line that starts “appen initrd=” you’ll want to add the option of “persistent”, it should then look like the following: You’ll then need to edit the syslinux.cfg file that was created by UNetbootin in the root of the directory (just open it with a text editor) you should see something similar to the following:Īppend initrd=/ubninit file=/cdrom/preseed/ed boot=casper quiet splash. Go to and download one of the files (128mb.zip, 256mb.zip, or 512mb.zip) corresponding to the amount of persistent space you want (make sure the size of the persistent disk image is smaller than the free space you have on your USB drive).

Unetbootin ubuntu windows manual#

If you wanted a persistence install which allows you to save files, settings and installed programs you’ll have to do a little manual work as it currently doesn’t support that option. Select the USB Drive at the bottom and hit ok and it’ll install a bootloader, the system and you’ll be up and running in no time. Alternatively you can pick an Diskimage and browse for the ISO file you download (and would usually burn to a CD/DVD) and install from that. To install a distro it’s pretty simple, either select it from the “Distribution” option and pick a distribution and version, UNetbootin will then actually download it and install it for you. Ubuntu/LinuxMint/Debian: sudo apt-get install unetbootinįedora/OpenSuse: sudo yum install unetbootin Create a live USB: If you’re using linux it should be found in the usual place you can install things. The best way I have found to get around this issue is to install and run unetbootin to create live USBs. It seems to be a bug that’s effecting users running Karmic, Lucid, Maverick and Natty so it’s a pretty wide spread issue.
