I have been trying to install Ubuntu 14.04 and 14.10 from a gorilla 32gb flash drive, it will install and on reboot if i take out the usb as the computer starts up i get a message telling me to insert the boot media and restart computer, if i leave the usb in, it ask if i want to try ubuntu, install, etc. i have tried using the livelinux, unetboot, and universal usb installer, and its all the same result. i have a 40gb drive that i am trying to use on my laptop Toshiba Satellite, i have a 500gb drive as well that came with the laptop but that one has windows 8.1, but i take that hard drive out to put in the 40gb drive, so i know that its not a conflict of operating systems. is there something that i am doing wrong, or have i forgot something some where? also when setting it up on the flash drive it asks me to set the persistance, and i set it to 4090mb. but it just will not keep the ubuntu os on reboot.
I could not find one dealing with this. I was wondering if there is any radio telescope programs available for the Ubuntu 14.04, and if not how would I go about writing one? I am using a D.N. dish that is about 5-10yrs old, and planning to run it on a Toshiba Satalitte with an AMD E1 64bit system with Win8.1 with Ubuntu 14.04 running in a virtual machine.
