[ubuntu-studio-users] How to Create a Bootable USB Drive

[wmichaelb]

Most USB drives are formatted with the venerable but widely
used FAT32 file system. One limitation is that FAT32 will not
allow a file to be bigger than 4 GB; could you have created
an empty file on the drive? It's best to simply format the
drive and leave it empty; the software that creates the bootable
iso file on the drive will take care of the rest. 

Ubuntu has a link on how to create a bootable USB drive from
Ubuntu itself, Windows, or Mac OS:

https://ubuntu.com/tutorials/tutorial-create-a-usb-stick-on-windows#2-requirements

Hope this helps.

Message-ID: <22503284.2597942.1589199653...@mail.yahoo.com>

Hello again. I have 2 x 16Gb USB Drives, and am trying to create a 32Bit 
Install of Studio and also a 4:2o Install. I've downloaded the last 32 bit .iso 
for support purposes etc. The problem I have when I format the usb drives in 
either windows or 4:2o, they are only showing a max of 3.5 Gigs or so for each 
drive.
 
I'm assuming it's undeleted stuff previously on the drive. How do I either 
retrieve what was previously on the drive {Not Essential I retrieve what was 
there} Is there an easy way to Format the drives so the full 16 Gigs are 
available on each drive? And how then to produce a bootable USB drive that also 
Windows recognises. 

tia, Alex.

Re: [ubuntu-studio-users] Next Gimp issue - no python

[Ross Mohn]

The update-alternatives command should create the 
/etc/alternatives/python link for you just fine.

Do I have to set the python path environment variable? I'm only

that it's a library.

My guess is that /usr/bin/python is either missing altogether or
is pointing to some version of python2 that has been removed. If
you run this command it will set /usr/bin/python to point to
/etc/alternatives/python, which in turn will point to
/usr/bin/python3.

    * sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/python python
/usr/bin/python3 1

That should get the 'python' command pointing to a valid python
installation again. Your next issue might be that some older
python scripts will have to be updated to be compatible with
python3, but fixing those will be a one-time thing and will get
you positioned well for the long term.

Re: [ubuntu-studio-users] Next Gimp issue - no python

[BabsKy]

Sorry, had to dogsit for a bit.
env is in usr/bin, don't know how I missed it before.
There are a few pythons in usr/bin (2 (link to py2.7), 2.7 (shared lib), 3
(link to py3.8), 3.8 (exe), and a few more py 3) but none in alternatives.
Setting usr/bin/python to point to /etc/alternatives/python won't work if

Re: [ubuntu-studio-users] Next Gimp issue - no python

[Ross Mohn]

Take a look at what python stuff is in /usr/bin right now. There should 
be several symbolic links.


    * ls -l /usr/bin/python* /etc/alternatives/python*

My guess is that /usr/bin/python is either missing altogether or is 
pointing to some version of python2 that has been removed. If you run 
this command it will set /usr/bin/python to point to 
/etc/alternatives/python, which in turn will point to /usr/bin/python3.


    * sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/python python 
/usr/bin/python3 1

    * python --version
    should now return 'Python 3.8.2'

That should get the 'python' command pointing to a valid python 
installation again. Your next issue might be that some older python 
scripts will have to be updated to be compatible with python3, but 
fixing those will be a one-time thing and will get you positioned well 
for the long term.

I think it's Gimp python as this has been an issue before, as I

I've tinkered with thonny for writing python scripts for Gimp and it

stuff in case I make it worse.

Re: [ubuntu-studio-users] Next Gimp issue - no python

[BabsKy]

All 'python' commands (tried a few variations) returned "command 'python'
not found",
'python3  --version' returned 'Python 3.8.2'.
I think it's Gimp python as this has been an issue before, as I mentioned,
but I don't know what specifically to install, it doesn't seem to be 'Gimp
python' as it was before.
I've tinkered with thonny for writing python scripts for Gimp and it that
it was pygimp but I'm stumped. I don't want to randomly install stuff in
case I make it worse.

Re: [ubuntu-studio-users] Next Gimp issue - no python

[Ross Mohn]

Here are the steps I used:

1. Check current system python version is 2.x
    sudo python --version
2. Execute this command to switch to python3
    sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/python python
   /usr/bin/python3 1
3. Verify system python version is now 3.x
    sudo python --version

based on steps I found in this post:

Sorry to ask but how would I manually set python3 as the default?

[ubuntu-studio-users] How do I create a boottable USB Drive?

[Alex Armani]

Hello again. I have 2 x 16Gb USB Drives, and am trying to create a 32Bit 
Install of Studio and also a 4:2o Install. I've downloaded the last 32 bit .iso 
for support purposes etc. The problem I have when I format the usb drives in 
either windows or 4:2o, they are only showing a max of 3.5 Gigs or so for each 
drive.
 
I'm assuming it's undeleted stuff previously on the drive. How do I either 
retrieve what was previously on the drive {Not Essential I retrieve what was 
there} Is there an easy way to Format the drives so the full 16 Gigs are 
available on each drive? And how then to produce a bootable USB drive that also 
Windows recognises. 

tia, Alex.

Re: [ubuntu-studio-users] Next Gimp issue - no python

[BabsKy]

I'm surprised that python (for Gimp) isn't installed by default on Linux,
that's what's caused this issue before.
I'll try anything to get it working, python plays a large part of my Gimp
workflow.
Sorry to ask but how would I manually set python3 as the default?

Re: [ubuntu-studio-users] Next Gimp issue - no python

[Ross Mohn]

Can you try 'python3'? On a side note, I was surprised that python3 was 
note the default in the upgrade. I had manually set python3 as the 
default in my 19.10 and that was switched back to python 2.x when I 
upgraded.
