  • What is the proper way of creating installation media from Ubuntu iso?

    6 answers



  • How do I install Ubuntu?

    2 answers



I purchased an HP laptop with FreeDOS on and want to install Ubuntu. I downloaded the ubuntu-18.04-desktop-amd64.iso and followed the instructions on how to burn a bootable DVD. However, the laptop will not boot from this disc (after changing settings in the BIOS to boot from DVD)



There are only 10 folders: .disk, boot, casper, dists, EFI, install, isolinux, pics, pool, preseed and 2 files mdsum.txt and README.diskdefines. Am I right in assuming that there should also be some kind of .inf autorun and install.exe files which should start the install process? If so, they appear to be missing from the iso file.



I also downloaded the Kubuntu iso and this only had the same files. I am also using PowerISO and can see the iso contents. Any ideas on how to proceed. I am new to Ubuntu and would really like to get it up and running.

  • @user68186, The OP does not ask about how to create Live USB installation media. It is about creating DVD, so it is not duplicate of the above-mentioned link.

  • @Jeff, It seems your DVD was not created properly. If your laptop can boot from USB, you may want to follow user68186's suggestion: "What is the proper way of creating installation media from Ubuntu iso?"

  • You do not run from Windows, but reboot system. If newer UEFI boot system, you should get two boot options, one UEFI:name and one name (BIOS) where name is DVD label. If just FreeDos, you may want to partition in advance, or you can partition during install. Do not use Full drive options unless willing to erase entire hard drive. askubuntu.com/questions/743095/… & help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI & you can skip Windows parts: askubuntu.com/questions/221835/…

pylint3 and pip3 broken

Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 0 down vote favorite I have tried sudo apt remove --purge on various packages. I get the same when I reinstall. I have also tried reinstall using aptitude. This does not work. My current workaround is to run pylint3 as root, which works, but is bad practice. pip3 $ pip3 Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/pip/_vendor/__init__.py", line 33, in vendored __import__(vendored_name, globals(), locals(), level=0) ImportError: No module named 'pip._vendor.pkg_resources' During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/pip3", line 9, in <module> from pip import main File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/pip/__init__.py", line 13, in <module> from pip.exceptions import InstallationError, CommandError, PipError File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/pip/exceptions.py", line 6, ...

How to enroll fingerprints to Ubuntu 17.10 with VFS491

Image
Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 1 down vote favorite I decided to switch from Windows to Ubuntu 17.10, I meet it like 8 years ago and I didn't decided to switch until now (haha). Well, my actual device is an HP Probook 4540s with a Validity fingerprint sensor (VFS491). The fingerprint sensor worked fine on Windows but I can't get it to work in Ubuntu. The device is recognized as 138a:003d but is not detected as a fingerprint scanner by some apps like Fingerprint GUI. I want to use the fingerprint scanner to log in into my user account in Ubuntu but it doesn't supports fingerprints without special software and the drivers of the fingerprint scanner are available for Windows but not for any Linux distribution. I found something on GitHub (https://github.com/eekpie/libfprint) about the integration of the VFS491 in libfprint and I think it can help but I don't know what to do with it, so that's why I need the help of the community to do it since I am...
