I’m trying to install Ubuntu 14.10 (64 bit) on my new Lenovo Ideapad, but I can’t seem to boot from CD or USB.
Active3 years, 7 months ago
I have disabled secure boot and fast boot in BIOS, boot mode: legacy (not UEFI).
I created a USB installer from USB-creator, but when I restart with USB, I just get a black screen with “Lenovo.” The same happens with the DVD.
CD images for Ubuntu 19.04 (Disco Dingo) Daily Build. Desktop image. The desktop image allows you to try Ubuntu without changing your computer at all, and at your option to install it permanently later. Jan 17, 2013 It can be installed by downloading one of the packages listed below or by voting here to speed up the repackaging by Ubuntu. Songbird Singing a New Tune. The repackaging for Debian and Ubuntu is the fastest way to once again have more support and ease of installation for Songbird. Download SongBird. (cd Songbird && rm lib.
Perhaps I need a special format while creating USB installer?
Or maybe try to do it with UNetbootin?

This new UEFI boot scheme is very confusing, I know. Fortunately with the latest Lenovo laptops you don't need to disable secure boot, nor do you need to disable fastboot, nor do you need legacy mode. You don't need any of that. At least for Ubuntu 12 and up.
Please put it back. :-)
And follow the instructions on the link provided.
The only thing that excellent answer does not address is how to get to the point of booting from USB stick, on your Lenovo. The trick (I happen to discover this all by myself, simply by noticing an option not available in other instructions sets):
[Shift]+Restart > Use USB Devices > USB Stick

I would say that there is not the best choice of USBCreator to make bootable USB-flash drive (sounds strange isn't it?).Much more better way through command line:
sudo dd if='ubuntu-14.10-desktop-amd64.iso' of=/dev/sdb bs=16M
Where
if is input file. of is destination file. bs - read up to BYTES bytes at a time.
Note: Be careful while specifying path the destination usb device. Check out your path to the USB drive using Gnome Disk Utility (Open terminal and type
gnome-disks ).

Comment Installer Songbird Sur Ubuntu Live Cd Download
Songbird 1.0, the first stable release of Songbird, was notable for providing numerous user-friendly ways to find music and the ease of downloading it. Songbird was part of Ubuntu and will probably be soon a part again. It can be installed by downloading one of the packages listed below or by voting here to speed up the repackaging by Ubuntu.
Songbird Singing a New Tune
They sadly report that their Linux versions will not receive the active developments that their Windows and Mac versions will get. They hope this might change in the future. Nightingale (which is a fork from Songbird) is an active fork of Songbird that supports Linux. The repackaging for Debian and Ubuntu is the fastest way to once again have more support and ease of installation for Songbird.
Songbird might be available from these sites
GetDeb.net have created Songbird installers for Ubuntu. Just find which release you have (10.04 'Lucid Lynx', 10.10 'Maverick Meercat' or whichever), download the relevant '.deb' and double click on it when the download is finished. http://www.getdeb.net/app/Songbird.
For Songbird version 1.7.3 and 1.8.0![]()
Only for Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, 'Lucid Lynx', and more recent versions of Ubuntu. Download from http://www.getdeb.net/app/Songbird. After installing one of the .deb files, go to Applications - Sound and Video - Songbird to launch the program. As of 5/12 there are currently no builds for 11.10 or 12.04.
For Songbird version 1.4.3
Again visit GetDeb to get the relevant '.deb' for your system. This is the one to get if your Ubuntu is before the 10.04 release.
You can install Songbird using the script below. These instructions will help you run the installation script.
Getting the script
Open your favorite text editor (Gedit, Kate, Mousepad). You should get a blank document.
In that blank document, paste the following code:
Then save the file on your home folder as the filename installsong.sh
Making the script executable
Paste these commands in the terminal:
Running the script
Paste this command in the terminal:
Once the script runs, you can locate /home/<yourusername>/Songbird and use it!
If you don't want full integration of Songbird (hidden in a universally accessible place, launcher icon, etc.), you can just download the latest Songbird to your /home/username folder, double-click it (or single-click in Kubuntu), extract the .tar.gz file, enter the new songbird folder in your home directory and double-click (or single-click in Kubuntu) the Songbird file inside.
