I'm talking about your install at the top of page 8 in this thread. The only difference is that I used kernel 4.5 final.
I must have DL'd 200GB of all the other links and nothing would boot into X, base system only. This one worked for me.
Thanks to all involved.
Now, , , I would like to dd this to a HD. It looks like I would need to have a blank HD formatted for MBR since the USBstick has two partitions on it. I mean it seems like you cannot simply add it to the backend of a drive that already has a distro on it as it would be adding two partitions in place of one. Am I making any sense here?

Yes, you're right. You need a whole blank HD for the image. But ..... you could try to copy Ubuntu from the root partition on your USB flash drive to a partition on your hard disk.mechanic wrote: Now, , , I would like to dd this to a HD.

In your root partition as root:
Code: Select all
cp -a * /media/ -- your name -- / -- partition on your hard disk --

Hi all
You can with dd copy the USB-Partition to the Harddisk.
dd if=/dev/your-usb-partition of=/dev/your-harddisk-partition bs=1M Just make sure that you have bevore dd an empty partition.
After dd is ready use gparted for check an resize.
I have done this bevor with opensuse.img and fedore17.img. But beware you can damage your other OS (Aos4) if you have not an big enough empty partition !
So use Gparted and make an empty 10GB ext4 partitition and you can use dd or with cp to transfer your USB-Ubuntu to it.
And you must change your new root entry in /etc/fstab because UUID has changed !

CP did not work at all. DD did the job. I used it to copy the USB partition 2 to my sda4 partition, however there is a problem.
On the USB and the HD as the system boots I get a message 'systemd failed to start Load Kernel Modules'.
Spent time looking that up and trying several cures but no luck. This happens on both the USB and the HD. Also, modprobe does not seem to work. It seems that either systemd can't find the modules or the systemd itself is broken.
Any hints?

First, please try sudo depmod -va and then you can load a kernel module with sudo modprobe kernel_module.mechanic wrote:Also, modprobe does not seem to work.

Re: (X)(L)ubuntu (MATE) 16.04 LTS
The message 'systemd failed to start Load Kernel Modules' was caused by the file /etc/modules-load.d/cups-filters.conf.
It was trying to load 'lp', 'ppdev' and 'parport' modules which I can only guess do not have the drivers in the kernel and therefore could/would not load them. I blacklisted these, but that did not stop the message. I did comment # out these lines in the cups-filters.conf files which solved the problem.
The message 'systemd failed to START Load Kernel Modules' is very misleading.
Also in the cups-filters.conf file there is a line 'LOAD_LP_MODULE was 'yes' in /etc/default/cups'.
There is no cups file in /etc/default. I can only chalk this up to 'a new distro wierd crap'.

Re: (X)(L)ubuntu (MATE) 16.04 LTS
Thank you for the instructions.
It work, but these are the problems:
a) I copied usb to hdd, booted kernel from card and ... none of the ethernets was visible. With some thinkering it worked
b) There is a problem with the brltty package ... its difficult to remove, had to use synpatic. I am a social worker
and software for blind had to make a lot of mess
c) MATE seems laggy and often eats a lot of second core CPU, at least under 4.1.8 stable, seems things are better with 4.6 experimental
