Is there any way to create a bootable Ubuntu USB flash drive from the terminal without using any third-party applications like YUMI, Unetbootin, Startup Disk Creator, etc.
I tried to create a bootable Ubuntu flash drive with dd method,
sudo umount /dev/sdb
sudo dd if=/path/to/ubuntu.iso of=/dev/sdb bs=1M
It creates files on the USB disk, but when I try to boot the USB disk it shows an Operating System Not Found error.
I installed Sublime Text 2 on 12.04 as per this tutorial.
However I don't have adequate permissions when launching the program from the Unity launcher. For example I cannot install packages, or if I add a folder to the sidebar when I close Sublime and reopen, the folder is no longer listed. If I run sudo sublime in the terminal all changes remain after closing.
I've tried chown-ing the Sublime Text 2 folder in usr/lib
sudo chown -R mylogin:mylogin /usr/lib/"Sublime Text 2" but this seemed to have no effect.
A number of games, Emacs, and the terminal make extensive use of the Alt key. Can Unity be configured to respect this key, rather than launching the HUD with it?
Recently I have installed an older version of Ubuntu on my old machine. Whenever I try to install any software, I get an error saying it couldn't be found:
$ sudo apt-get install vlc
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Couldn't find package vlc
I found a problem with an application on Ubuntu.
