Q: Why isn't my usb ubuntu boot working on my Asus k53e laptop

I currently have windows7 and want to be able to dual boot on my laptop. I followed the directions given to make a dual boot flash drive and it worked on my desktop computer, but when I try to use it with my laptop (asus k53e) it says boot error. I have my flash drive set as the top priority bios...

Any ideas? I'm afraid I can't do much more :(

@JourneymanGeek I don't even see much value in separating home unless you're going to put it on more reliable hardware (eg RAID0 for / and RAID1 for /home) - it's not like homes are compatible between distributions (different distributions means app versions, config conflicts, database mangling and data loss)

Unfortunately, I don't know the answer to the first question (If someone knows, please edit this answer!). I do know the answer to the second. You will need to install a utility called xclip. Install xclip sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install xclip To view the clipboard: xclip -o -sel p...

user136984

@ByteCommander Yes, I will have a look at the link now... I haven't managed to come up with a working script yet though. :)

ByteCommander

12:25 PM

@Toroidal Yea, but I think with that xclip tool it should just be possible to write a (bash/python/...) script that gets content from the clipboard, stores it in a buffer or file and can put it back to the actual clipboard later. You would just need two more keyboard shortcuts (one to save current clipdoard content, one to open a popup displaying the saved contents and letting you chose one to restore to clipboard - I don't think you can just overwrite Ctrl+C/X/V, can you?)

user136984

@ByteCommander Yes. I think that if you go deep enough into the system you should be able to overwrite those shortcuts. But you probably wouldn't want to go too deep into the system for this utility.

So many factors to weigh... such ridiculous verification requirements.

Some companies request a recent phone bill. I don't have a home phone. All I have is a mobile phone. And they don't send me paper bills :P

Nor do I pay for utilities, though I suppose I could give them a copy of a recent bank statement if that counts.

From what I can see in the apt source code, "Ign" means there was an error retrieving the file, but the error is being ignored. When I run apt-get update, I see 3 Ign messages, all of which are for Translation-en files. A packet dump shows that the requests for those files got HTTP 404 responses....

@Seth So Hit means I already have the up-to-date list file, and Ign means that it could not get that list file from the server (e.g. 404 error), but it is not seen as a fatal error because only the translations are missing and the packages are available in their default language at least. Correct?

LANG=C sudo apt-get update | grep getdeb

I don't think it is quite that complicated. Everything should work fine.

@user2356315 Maybe you could take a screenshot?

When I click on the flag icon, I get the standard text entry speech bubble-menu type thing, with an English flag underneath, its box unchecked...sec

ByteCommander

But should I do something because of those Ign errors? I have quite a lot of them!

LANG=C sudo apt-get update | grep Ign
Ign cdrom://Ubuntu 14.10 _Utopic Unicorn_ - Release i386 (20141022.1) utopic InRelease
Ign cdrom://Ubuntu 14.10 _Utopic Unicorn_ - Release i386 (20141022.1) utopic/main Translation-en
Ign cdrom://Ubuntu 14.10 _Utopic Unicorn_ - Release i386 (20141022.1) utopic/main Translation-de

22 lines!

Hahaha wrong image

I'll change it, I enabled that as a last resort

Seth

@user2356315 Do you really want to allow different layouts for different windows?

That could be your problem right there.

Click "show keyboard layout" when you have Chinese enabled. What does it show you?

@ByteCommander You've got some weird stuff in your sources.list. Did you upgrade from a DVD?

user2356315

11:03 PM

Nope

What sort of weird?

Seth

I wouldn't worry about it, but if you want ask a question on the main site and provide full apt-get update output as well as the grepped output and someone more familiar with it should be able to figure out what is going on there.

ByteCommander

@Seth No, I think those cdrom entries match my installation CD.

Seth

@user2356315 That was directed at ByteCommander (see the @ByteCommander on the front of the message?)

What did you mean by "nope"?

user2356315

Oops, whaaaa, @-tag...@-tag, thanks

@user2356315 Did you try that --^?

@Seth An english keyboard

Seth

@ByteCommander Well it definitely has something to do with an installation CD, yes ;)

well that's not right

user2356315

So I thought

Seth

I'm not familiar with Mint so I can't help you much more then, sorry :/

ByteCommander

@Seth Okay, so I could safely remove the CD with the System settings panel... But why do I have that many non-existing online repos in my list...

Seth

What does "show character table" reveal?

ByteCommander

11:07 PM

I think I will ask a Q now about that...

user2356315

Seth

@ByteCommander I'm not sure. I feel like grep left some info out. Can you paste an entire apt-get update output?

@ByteCommander Sounds good!

@user2356315 Well that wasn't very helpful.. :/

ByteCommander

Sure, one moment, it's just running through... :D

user2356315

@Seth, nope, all a bit odd, maybe my kernel's got some issues

Mateo

Wow, just found an amazing coffee:

ByteCommander

11:11 PM

WTF is that? Coffee with grass?

I bet the one who drew that smoked the coffee instead of drinking it! ;D

Seth

@ByteCommander hm, not very revealing. Why don't you ask that question then?

Mateo

Coffee like this stuff:

Absinthe

Absinthe (/ˈæbsɪnθ/ or /ˈæbsænθ/; French: [apsɛ̃t]) is historically described as a distilled, highly alcoholic (45–74% ABV / 90–148 U.S. proof) beverage. It is an anise-flavoured spirit derived from botanicals, including the flowers and leaves of Artemisia absinthium ("grand wormwood"), together with green anise, sweet fennel, and other medicinal and culinary herbs. Absinthe traditionally has a natural green colour but may also be colourless. It is commonly referred to in historical literature as "la fée verte" (the green fairy). Although it is sometimes mistakenly referred to as a liqueur, absinthe...

ByteCommander

@Seth Okay... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@Mateo And why "coffee" then? °_°"??

Mateo

Don't know... But it was less expensive and because... Coffee?!

Anyway, that covergance video on unity touch is quite awesome.

ByteCommander

Might be because I drink neither coffee nor alcohol, but I somehow don't get what you want to tell me...

Mateo

11:18 PM

Probably... @hbdgaf might get it more

not my fault my coffee was spiked with kahlua

Feb 5 '14 at 19:28, by Thomas W.

a friend wanted to play a prank on me and get me drunk

Mateo

@Seth That is good stuff too, they make non-alcohol coffee versions as well

Seth

Reminded me of that for some reason.

Mateo

@ThomasW. ^^^

Seth

@Mateo Just don't get the two mixed up :P

Mateo

11:26 PM

So just watch the movie "Moulin Rouge!" and right about when the moon starts singing along to the music...

@Seth My Q is posted about the Ign errors. If you are interested:

0

Q: "apt-get update" gives many [Ign] errors - is that a problem?

I just ran sudo apt-get update once again and I thought that there are many lines starting with Ign instead of Hit in the output. I wondered what it means and researched on AskUbuntu and SuperUser, but they had contradictory answers. After discussing with @Seth in chat and some logical thinking,...
