So I am trying to make my usb stick bootable and load ubuntu 14.04 64 bit on it. I have tried different methods, for example, I format my usb on windows to be FAT32 and then am using the Universal USB installer loading iso file into it. However, I am getting 192 errors ! which most of the look like Data error in boot\grub\x86_64-efi*.mod. File is broken.
I also have boot the usb stick in different format, but still no success. I appreciate any comment.
I have an old laptop (Thinkpad T30) and I have installed lubuntu 10.04 on it. NetworkManager could see the available wifi but the bottom was gray out. It seems that it is an unsolved-bug in wifi and the only solution was replacing it with lovely wicd.
So, I have installed the latest wicd, and I got happy that I could have see the available wifi and possible access. but whenever I ask wicd to connect me to that, after quite few seconds, an error appear that : "Connection Failed: Unable to get IP address".
I googled the error; some people have suggested downgrading wifi, and some others were suggesting installing some drivers. and non of them worked. I also tried this "http://www.backtrack-linux.org/forums/showthread.php?t=48658".
I appreciate any comments that can help me to make my wifi into work. either for troubleshooting the current "wicd" and this error, or installing other alternatives that I am not aware of.
I assume the problem is somewhere between dhcp* and wicd but I am not sure how to track and solve it.

I wonder if there is any list for companies that donate money to Ubuntu.
These companies are not necessarily from IT and since they are using ubuntu in their daily bases intensively, they would like to have some donation. But it is important to know how these donation will be spent and if their donations will be shown to public !!
So, the question is if there is any list of these companies ? like the one in R project
I have problem with my USB memory ! So I am trying to make this USB memory bootable. Using unebooting, I uploaded a linux and set the booting to read from USB. but the laptop keeps giving this error : remove the disk and press any key to restart.
Do I need to change some sector in USB ? what should I do, and how can I do it under a windows machine.
