Hi,
I think the system was booting when I used the unetbootin method, but the
thing was acting as if I'd done an install from the cd to a flash drive,
and by-passed the special session from which I could install. It brought
me into a session with Unity 3d, and I could, sometimes, start orca.
Per your suggestion, I jusd did a 'dd' to put the image onto my flash
drive. The resulting system has no persistent space but boots. I get the
drums sound, I hit
'ctrl+s', get orca, and hit 'try Ubuntu. I start orca in this session. I
log out, then hit 'ctrl+s'. I can go to this session selector and get
into
Unity 2d this way. This Unity 2d session ran for about 5 minutes, then
the Unity Service Panel applet crashed, taking all the menus with it, and
leaving me with a system where I couldn't even switch apps with 'alt+tab'.
Assuming I ever get a sysgem that has reliable accessibility, and no
components crash, can I install this to my hard drive, leaving my user
data in place? If, for instance, I choose the 'advanced' option in the
installer, can I just tell the insaller to not format the partitions? If
I choose the same username I use with Trisquel 5.5, will my stuff be there
when I login? I've already backed up the files of interest to another
machine on my home network.
Cheers,
Dave

Hello,
If you are afraid the image is not properly placed on to an USB drive you might
try just dd the iso file on to the proper device while it's unmounted. I did it
using this method and it worked.
If you think the system is actually booting maybe the sound is muted on startup.
You can try switching it on using the multimedia keys if your pc has some or
you can blindly try to start a terminal and use alsa-mixer.
I have used command
Alsa-mixer -c 0 set Master 100% unmute
Finally if you can conect the pc to the network using ethernet cable and have
another spare computer you migh try installing an running ssh.
To try starting the terminal when the live 2012.04 is booted you can-
- press ctrl+s to start orca
- assuming orca has started eventhough you cant hear the voice you should land
in the orca window.
- you can alt+tab once to focuss the installer window
- in the installer window press tab key once to focuss try ubuntu button and
space to activate it
- finally wait for the desktop to reload and then press ctrl+alt+t to launch
terminal.
I know my advices are verry general. This is what i was trying to do in the
past.

Yah, I know, I said I'm giving up, but have trouble doing that. LOL.
When I put 12.04 onto a flash drive, I used the unetbootin program, and gave
the system as much persistent space as the drive's capacity will allow. When I
start the resulting system, I never get the chance to choose an accessible
session (no drums or music ever sound). Should I do something differently when
making the usb system? I start with the Precise desktop, found in the
dailylive directory. Below is how I invoke unetbootin to make this system
(ignore line breaks).
Any thoughts?
