Re: maybe off topic but how do I setup orca on a flash drive

2020-05-07 Thread milton

Hi,

After dowloading the .iso file and checking the md5sum I simply do the 
following:


1. insert the memory stick.

2. in a terminal type:

usb-creator-gtk


Note: you can press Tab after typing 'usb-c'

3. press Enter.

4. follow the steps on the screen.

Success.\Milton

Hello,

It has been a number of years since I have used Ubuntu and then it was 
always on an installed version.


I was using a desktop system that had a dvd drive so I could install  
from the burned dvd.


Now none of my systems have dvd or cd drives, so I need to get a 
working copy of Ubuntu on a flash drive that I can run on my dell or 
linovo systems to perform system maintenance.


Are there any “good docs on how to setup Ubuntu on a flash drive with 
persistence?

Hi Don,
I use Universal USB Installer.
It offers to make a persistence file.
I have read that one should always make a persistence file within 512 MB 
ranges, like 512, 1024, 2048, etc.
Here's a link:

Off topic, Linux shop

2020-05-07 Thread Vojtěch šmiro

Hello,

is some linux shop when I can buy flash disks with OS, coffee cubs with 
linux signs, etc? We had in the Czech Republic linux market, but it will 
be cancelled. They will sell last things and close their shop.


Is it in other countries? I would like to buy linux things such as cubs, 
clothes, etc.


Best regards

Vojta.

Re: Ubuntu 20.04

2020-05-07 Thread milton
Hi,\I did lots of fresh installs of Ubuntu 18.04 and 20.04 for sighted 
users with the great help of Orca. After pressing F12 for the boot menu 
I always need sighted assistance to tell me where my install pendrive 
is. The difference with 18.04 is that the disk is checked and this will 
take few minutes. After this process is ready and no errors found I then 
hear the welcome sound. So then I start Orca.

Hello everyone.  I am using Ubuntu 2020 with a Dell.
When installing Ubuntu mate 2020.04 yesterday, I pressed f 12 to get to the 
boot menu.
Then went to what I thought was the dvd choice.
Since I could not bring up Orca for several attempts, I used Be My Eyes.
The volunteer said that after I pressed f 12, a language choice prompt appeared.
Then the choice whether to use Ubuntu before installing, or to install appeared.
After entering on use before installing I then brought up Orca with super alt s.
Should I have been able to bring up Orca before those other choices?
Is this installer markedly different than with Ubuntu 2018.04?
Had I not had Be My Eyes, how would I have known what to do in this situation?

Hi,

I have no problems installing Ubuntu 20.04 with the great help of Orca 
but I have no experience installing from a dvd or in a virtual machine.


I am happy with:
