Public bug reported: I'm trying to install Ubuntu 11.04 x64 Server onto a Shuttle XS35GT. The PC has no CD-ROM drive so I have to install via USB.
1. Copy the files to a USB-stick via UNetbootin (WinXP, OSX) or Universal-USB-Installer.exe (WinXP) 2. Boot to the USB-stick in order to install Ubuntu 3. The installer halts at "[!!] Detect and mount CD-ROM" - "Your installation CD-ROM couldn't be mounted. Try again to mount the CD-ROM? (Yes/No)" 4. Selecting either option does not help further the install What I tried: - Manually fix truncated filenames in /pool/l/linux/*.udeb (see http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1503083 ) - Alt+F2, mount the .iso as a virtual CD-ROM under /media/iso (no use since the 11.04 installer does not allow manual chosing of the CD-ROM) (see http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1550317 ) - Expert mode install (does not show anything special) (as suggested at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1737345 ) - Copying the "normal" desktop live CD-ROM to the USB-stick works perfectly, but I need the server install ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/778319 Title: Installation via USB-stick impossible -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
