Message-ID: Does the current minimal ubuntu CD talk? I've got a good internet connection. The Dell PC I plan to install on has run vinux but the installation is outdated so I would like to just start over with a current version of ubuntu. It can read DVD's but I am not sure whether that drive is a burner so if the minimal install disk talks, I'll burn that image on an older system whose drives are just regular CD burners. The target system is not able to boot from usb or I certainly would have just done that and saved a lot of hassle. The image is the 32-bit iso called mini.iso and as of posting time, I downloaded it around an hour ago so it is as current as practical. Thank you.

On that computer, I have Windows 7 and Ubuntu, but the audio went out on that, some might remember my efforts, so I'm planning on reinstalling Ubuntu when I am done installing other operating systems. So what I did earlier this year was to install a new copy of Windows 7. Then I upgraded to Windows 10 and did not like it. But knowing that I will eventually have to use it for Windows, I used Ubuntu to copy that partition on an SD card. Then I reinstalled Windows 7, and that with the Ubuntu is what is there now. So on this new drive, with my HD cable, I would like to first copy the windows 7 that is running now to the new drive and I'm wondering if it would be best to use DD for this? I think this action will make that large drive the same size as the partition that Windows 7 is on, so I am wondering if Ubuntu will see the remainder as free space and allow me to make more partitions? Or are there better suggestions for all this? Thanks. Glenn -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I first booted it on my Acer laptop that uses Windows 7, and it booted fine, and I connected to my home WIFI and installed Voxin while it was on the laptop. I installed the Ubuntu with a 1 GB persistence file. But when it boots up on the NUC, I get only a terminal. I tried the command sudo startx and that does not boot the GUI. The NUC was running Ubuntu 16.04, but the audio on that does not work, so I am trying to use the latest Ubuntu to access the HD, and I hope to eventually install 16.10 on the NUC. Any ideas on how to get the GUI back? I also tried: sudo amixer set master 85%and I tried: sudo speaker-test -c 2 and I tried sudo espeak "hello" and nothing gave me any sound. Thanks for any assistance. Glenn -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

This is 16.04. Glenn -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:
