hi guys i created a bootable disc using Imgburn on a DVD-RW but i'm finding it difficult to install it its not booting from the disc Help!! |
Re: Ubuntu Linux by blackweaver(m): 11:02am On May 31, 2018 |
Taiwo20: When you view the disk on your pc, do you see an iso file or you just see other files and folders? |
Re: Ubuntu Linux by Deicide: 7:10pm On May 31, 2018 |
Does Ubuntu handle playing HD videos well? |
Re: Ubuntu Linux by Taiwo20(m): 7:22pm On May 31, 2018 |
blackweaver: I downloaded the .iso file....however after burning it on the disc what I see is files and folders. Thank you. |
Re: Ubuntu Linux by blackweaver(m): 1:43pm On Jun 01, 2018 |
t Taiwo20: That's about right. When you want to boot it, what happens? Is it that the system doesn't bother to boot the cd or it starts to boot and fails? |
Re: Ubuntu Linux by Taiwo20(m): 1:45pm On Jun 01, 2018 |
blackweaver: it doesnt bother to boot. it doesnt boot from the CD |
Re: Ubuntu Linux by blackweaver(m): 2:57pm On Jun 01, 2018 |
Taiwo20: Can you boot any bootable cds? Say your bootable windows cd if not then the problem is with your bios setting, the system is trying to boot from the hard drive before the cd. WHen your system starts, there should be a message that comes up for a very short time, something like press f2 or f10 or delete to enter setup |
Re: Ubuntu Linux by Taiwo20(m): 4:08pm On Jun 01, 2018 |
blackweaver: Thanks for you time and advice. I actually ran windows on from a disc. Although, i didnt burn the disk, i purchased it that way. I changed the BIOS setting to boot first from the CD/DVD drive. |
Re: Ubuntu Linux by blackweaver(m): 7:14am On Jun 02, 2018 |
And it's still not booting? You say it's a DVD rw right? Erase the disc and write the image again |

Hi guys. Its been a while that I have grazed this parts. Quick question.. Is there anyone who by any chance still uses glo modem with say wvdial. I am doing some IoT work with RaspberryPi and I will be using a glo USB 3g dongle for Internet connection. The dongle works with Mtn but the coverage in the area I am deploying is very patchy. Feedbacks would be appreciated. |

How to install Notepad plus plus on Ubuntu https://oworock.com/2018/06/install-notepad-ubuntu-17-10-18-04-via-snap.html |
Re: Ubuntu Linux by blackweaver(m): 9:52pm On Jun 03, 2018 |
bigrovar: Wvdial! Wow! It's a long time I've used that, takes me back to my days of using a starcomms modem. Haven't used it for years. Have gotten lazy and just stick with a mifi modem 1 Like |
Re: Ubuntu Linux by blackweaver(m): 9:52pm On Jun 03, 2018 |
Oworock: What's the big deal? Wine will handle it just fine |
Re: Ubuntu Linux by Gargoylesmiles(m): 5:42pm On Jun 04, 2018 |
Oworock: My Linux alternatives such as Kate does a great job and integrates well on my KDE distro so no need to use Notepad++ in Linux. |
Re: Ubuntu Linux by Gargoylesmiles(m): 5:56pm On Jun 04, 2018 |
bigrovar: I dont think you will have any issue if its already configured and works with MTN. Just change the parameters to suit Glo. Are you working with a Raspberry pi shield modem (with SIM 905 etc) and Glo SIM or trying to connect directly with a Glo modem? I am interested in such projects. |
Re: Ubuntu Linux by Gargoylesmiles(m): 5:57pm On Jun 04, 2018 |
Taiwo20: Are you still having any challenge getting this to work? |
Re: Ubuntu Linux by Taiwo20(m): 6:18pm On Jun 04, 2018 |
Gargoylesmiles: i actually plan to do that tomorrow. |
Re: Ubuntu Linux by Gargoylesmiles(m): 6:21pm On Jun 04, 2018 |
Taiwo20: Ohk, if you have the ISO file I will suggest you use a USB drive in place of CD/DVD. Its less stressful. |
Re: Ubuntu Linux by Taiwo20(m): 8:58pm On Jun 04, 2018 |
Gargoylesmiles: you mean I should create a bootable USB.... I would try both tomorrow evening and give you a feed back |
Re: Ubuntu Linux by Oworock(m): 2:48am On Jun 05, 2018 |
blackweaver:The only big deal here is that wine is not needed. Some people may not want to use wine, just like me. Gargoylesmiles: Wow!!! That's cool. although, I have a software that integrates well too, but am used to notepad plus plus that's why. 1 Like |

Re: Ubuntu Linux by Gargoylesmiles(m): 10:08pm On Jun 05, 2018 |
sodson11: First time issue after several use or was expereinced after installation? Can you share a screen shot? |
Re: Ubuntu Linux by Gargoylesmiles(m): 10:10pm On Jun 05, 2018 |

Barywhyte:I settled for cinnamon and it's bn great tho consumes power (like it demands alot from my processor) and audio quality isn't that good |
Re: Ubuntu Linux by Gargoylesmiles(m): 11:06pm On Jun 12, 2018 |
Folarinibrahim1: So you settled for Mint? Good choice,my only challenge is that they dropped support for KDE and I am KDE fan so I will not be touching Mint for a long time to come. But its a good distro for anybody who wants to switch to Linux. If you are interested pls join the Nigeria Linux User Group on Telegram to meet other Linux users like you. Lets share our Linux experience together. |
Re: Ubuntu Linux by bigrovar(m): 1:21am On Jun 14, 2018 |
blackweaver:Same here o.. Network manager has made us all lazy with its auto configure that sadly just works Anyway I figured it out. Just need to fill some glo specific parameters meters and it is working like a charm. I had to add it to /etc/rc.local for it to start on boot and add a 60 sec delay for the modem to be initialized by the Pi and modem switched. Trust Linux works like a charm every damn time. |
Re: Ubuntu Linux by bigrovar(m): 1:29am On Jun 14, 2018 |
Gargoylesmiles:Nothing fancy. Just some generic Hsdpa 3g modem I got from some random guy on the street. I needed to figure RPi to monitor my offgrid solar setup and help provide remote logging and system monitoring. The modem was meant to provide connection to the Internet.. After some challenges including having to write custom udev rules for modeswitch for that particular modem and for persistent linking of the modem and charge controller rs232 to ttl usb cables to a particular tty com port using symlinks. Everything worksb like a charm. The resultant output is displayed in my signature below. |
