Dude didn't blink once
😮😮😮
That’s when you know he’s hydrated
Crazy, looks like a deepfake
Here what I think
He upload this video on May 10, 2023 on that day is Wednesday and Wednesday Addams didn't blink so didn't blink.
One single slash mark fixed several hours of beating around the whole internet. Thank you so much!
Short and clear, thank you!
This is very helpful. Thanks for making this video.
I will give it a try, your video makes Ubuntu fairly easy to master !!! Thank you.
Hi. I am a fan of your videos. Thanks for the efforts.
Thank you so much ❤ you are my new subscriber
Sorry I can only give just one like! Great job mister.
Helpful!
thank you man i had this 4:48 issue
This guy.. thank you !!!! 😄
VERY clear video--Thank you so much for posting it!
I got a new Win 11 laptop and had to disable BitLocker within Windows, and also turn off Secure Boot before the laptop would allow me to start Ubuntu from a flash drive. You may want to mention this in future episodes. ;-)
I was able to install Ubuntu 24 to a 2 TB SSD that connects with a USB-C cable using your current instructions. Keep up the good work!
Wrong, not AT ALL clear. He wastes time with nonsense like telling us about Rufus then BAM! we're into the install without giving SPECIFIC instructions and steps on how he got there.
@@RealStuntPanda bro prob skipped half of the video
Thank you
Thank you for that, if only for showing me how to get expandable folders back! :)
Tks for the helpful video. I would suggest doing the same installation to an external 128 GB SSD drive connected to an usb-3 port, it will be much faster and it will not cost too much.
Hi. Followed your initial steps but, no ISO image was downloaded to my PC. Tried 3 clean downloads and nothing! What am I doing wrong?
You da goat fr
I wanted to mention that the guidance you provided didn't quite do the trick. I gave it several tries attempting to install it on an external 128 GB USB-Sandisk drive, which was connected to a USB-3 port.
Here's the thing: the tool you mentioned for individual partitioning is actually different in my 23.04 Ubuntu. But get this, according to some RUclips clips, my version has been available for over a year. Isn't that interesting? Unfortunately, even other guide clips didn't pan out. So, for the time being, until I get my issue sorted out, I'll stick with my USB test version.
Now, when I noticed the low percentage of thumbs up for this particular clip, it got me thinking. It's quite likely that there's a much larger audience out there dealing with similar or different kinds of problems.
Well... after 3h of trying to install Linux on my flash drive (25MB/s writing speed) I just gave up.
@@ilove2learn783 In my case, it cracks on the Windows UEFI boot system, which will not boot via USB with an EXT3 media and Linux system.
The boot master sectors may work with a HDD or SDD, yet they don't with a USB EXT3 boot partition.
I will try to fix it by installing the boot partition on a FAT32, hope that the BIOS recognizes the boot sectors;
For the actual Ubuntu /media/ubuntu/casper system I'll take the ext3 file system for.
Also watch "Switched to Linux", on YT, a pragmatic smart guy, chapter »Installing Linux on a USB? Consider this.«
In the long run, it will always be worth taking an external 2.5" drive, as the USB chips, no matter how valuable, will cause problems after a while.
maybe you wanna tell your audience that in some machines you need to switch off SECURE BOOT in order to boot from a USB
Let's say I want to install Kali alongside Ubuntu on the USB drive where I have two partitions. So I will install ubuntu 23.04 on the USB drive as first on one partition following your method and I'll have the system up and running (still haven't try, but we assume it). I can then install kali on the second partition and have there a dual boot? Is there something I need to do to fix the bootloader or EFI partition on the USB drive to start Kali linux? Or does the grub installed alongside ubuntu will load Kali too?
Many thanks!
can you please let me know which linux distribution works better with Nvidia GPUs? I have had lots of headaches since years for this reason
Hello !
What are the possible causes and troubleshooting steps for the ‘integrity: Problem loading X.509 certificate -65’ error message during Ubuntu installation?
?
I don't have an activities menu on display
hello i would like to know if i can do the same with a partioned hdd, there's some data on it, so i can't format the whole disk
Hey what if i select as my main boot the ubuntu ssd and second the windows ssd? Is that possible that if the usb ssd is not conntected the system boot up from the windows ssd as default so ignore the "main" boot? Or can i select if my main running boot is windows which one i want to boot if I start my computer without going in the bios everytime? I am very new at the topic maybe i missed something :)
my install is halted during the full install into another usb ; it's not proceeding .. what should i do?
Didn't find only one usb drive process videos link. Did you create that?
hi, i tried to follow your method but when i get to the very end and i try to do the installation on the second usb drive, the installation is starting the at some point fails
i don"t really have more information about what failed so i'm confused, can you help me whith where i shoukd look ?
I cannot pick 1 partition for bootload on my usb, can you help me?
The installation is successfull but if 1 go to bios and change the boot, the flashdisk is not detected because the format ext2 not fat32
Is there a reason why you didn't create a swap (and home/data) partition?
YOU have new laptop, what about old laptops? Especially with broadcom wifi boards?
Friends, after the installation is completed, I remove the USB and press the enter button, then the PC turns off and on and this continues, I wonder what is the problem?
This guide killed my bootloader... thanks for this.
why I cant unmount mine it said #unmount -v 'cdrom' umount: /cdrom: target is busy.
help
It's been over 4hrs now.... How long will it take to complete the installation???
How can we install Ubuntu in UEFI mode? Do you have any video guide for it?
Where is the “activities” tab? I don’t see it
going to try with archbang
I havd followed exactly but my my computer cant boot from the newly configured USB. Any troubleshoot?
how can I restore the data from the USB drive after using that drive for installing ubuntu?
Great video man, btw, you looks creepy in the bottom corner with no background...haha. Greetings from Mexico.
does this also work with server installing to usb device?
is it possible to do this when you only have one usb drive available?
After installing ubuntu, how can I reject the flash drive and reboot back to the Windows OS?
Nice video, tnx vm. I cannot find your video where you tell how to make a fuul Os with only one usb-stick. Can you help me?
All this is fine, bur why does ever time I boot back to windows, the time gets reset to 6hrs before? Any tips?
Hello, I didn't understand how to do this correctly and installed ubuntu unknowingly and erased my ssd drive. After a few hours I tried to open windows again without my usb in, but it booted in linux. Im currently at my friends computer trying to restore my original ssd and found this video. Thank you for the tutorial !!
Happened to me when I was a kid, use system backup or programs to backup your stuff again
Does it also possible to others linux distro such as Pop! OS?
usb After installing Ubuntu on it, it won't boot hp It stops at the logo and continues to be suggested. I use translation, so it can be unnatural.
Im trying to start installed os, but its infinitly loading
Can this apply to m.2 drive with usb type c? Thanks
Can i use the linux-usb drive on legacy bios and uefi machines ?
thanks so much for helping me and all other dumbasses 🙏🏻🗣‼‼
Will it work on MacBook, With external NVMe storage?
Can i do the same process for a android box like the HD96Max
Thank you because the partition part was very confusing
Do we have to do disk partication for this or no thankd
I am now try 10 distributions, and non of them have suport for broadcom wifi
Hi, this usb gonna work in mac?
is it work with intel Processos ?
When I Start Installation of Ubantu,It never ends. its Endless
Please someone help me
I installed ubuntu with power iso.. only needs restart
The video is correct and very helpful but be aware to select the correct device to install grub (in 5:38), if you don't adjust it the grub will be installed on your HD/SSD and you will need to choose the OS in every boot.
By any chance, do you happen to know how to reverse that if the grub was actually installed on the HD/SSD?
@@joesalaz1703 If you want to recover the windows boot loader you can use a windows installation disk/thumb drive to recovery the MBR (Search for windows recover mbr).
Bro , actually in the partition process , my usb is not showing , and when I go to unmount it , it is showing can not cause already in use ....help
Try formatting it through Windows before you try to install.
YEP!
can we use one usb?
Why didn't you use Etcher instead? You could have avoided using two flash drives and in my opinion it's much simpler.
Oh my god what I did wrong i didn't know but now my pc is on preparing automatic repair.
I don't want to force format my drive
Can be installed wout software, just 2 USB sticks....
Hi! I have two questions.
1: This installation is a full install of ubuntu not a live or frugal install. How does the full install know which drivers should be loaded at boot? As I know only live systems check the hardware before loading, full installs are a little bit customized to the hardware which installed them.
2: I own a DataTraveler MAX and it is extremely slow during any kind of boot. I have tried ventoy, rufus, WinNTSetup, native grub install from command line, it takes several minutes to boot while another cheap pendrive is booting instantly. Any experience with this?
Thank you!
I have the same issue but with a different kingston pen drive. Slow as shit but my cheap pen drive that was 1/5th the price is much faster. As for the full install I am also having issues. It is not as easy as this guy makes it out to be. The install comes out customized to the host PCs hardware. There are also some bootloader issues that also stem from information being grabbed from the host PC I believe. All of these videos like this are straight up BS. Its not this simple and the USB only seems to work on the host PC.
Can't amoubt because the usb mount point is /cdrom and it says that cdrom is busy, can you help me sir?
I have the same issue =(
can you access the files that you create inside of ubuntu via windows (i.e. if for some reason you are unable to boot to the usb drive, would you still be able to access the data in the usb drive)?
Bro I have check from ubuntu to access files in the ssd(having windows) I am able to access all the files without any hassles
Hey sir, can u help me? I can't unmount my usb flashdrive, when i clicked unmount there's message :
couldn't unmount /dev/sda1
# unmount -v '/cdrom'
unmount: /cdrom: target is busy.
I use 32Gb fd
Same issue please help
Same issue
Hi mate, your video is very helpful for me to install the Ubuntu 23.04 directly into the flash drive. But, I just curious, will it install the grub bootloader permanently in my laptop? the reason I asked was, I don't want to have the grub bootloader in my laptop since I want to have a fast booting into my windows. And I just want to choose manually booting from usb flash drive only when needed.
It should not install grub bootloader or anything on your laptop. If it does then it's a bug.
That's exactly what just happened to me. I was very careful, but somehow grub is now on the windows disk.
@@michaelenelmaryep, same here
Same here
Damn it! You skipped over the part I am having trouble with. Don't just assume we can boot from a USB, because that is the very step I am having trouble with. I select the USB and it still boots Windows 11!!
İf you were able solve it can ypu explain i have same issue as well
Oh and how to boot back to windows after using it if you know
Does anyone know where the video he is talking about in the end is ? I only have on usb drive and would like to install persistent ubuntu on it.
It's this one

Can you make video Install Full Ubuntu on a without USB Drive?
For some reason, it wont let me unmount
Thanks very much indeed for your very useful video. So am I right in thinking if I follow the installation process you suggest for putting Ubuntu 23.04 on a USB drive that, for example, if I download Google Chrome to use as my web browser on Ubuntu that will also be be saved to the USB drive and will mean that I won’t have to download Chrome every time that I want to use it? Apologies for the simplistic question but I am quite new to all this but want to get a 2009 iMac that I recently bought running with Ubuntu and want to use Chrome as my web browser - Apple’s software update restrictions are so ridiculous on older, but nevertheless very useful equipment, it’s ridiculous. I suppose what I’m asking is, I don’t need to create a USB boot drive with a persistence partition to do what I want, do I? Thank you very much again.
Yes, if you install Google Chrome it will be saved to the drive and you won't have to install it again. You don't have to create a persistence partition
Brilliant - thanks very much indeed for your prompt response, and for all the time and energy you put into figuring these things out and explaining them to us novices in a clear and concise way. Cheers. 🙏
I have a question it's is about the flash drive will it be safe cause my USB heat up pretty high and I am worried about it that will it wreak my USB ?
Good point. Mine is heating up as well. The risk is always there, it will certainly not make your USB drive last longer. If you are using it only occasionally then no worries. If you use it daily then I would expect it to last about 5 years (assuming you are not overriding the whole drive every day)
Take care with advice from the EXPERT. As can be seen in the comments many people have experienced problems, and even fucked up harddrives which were supposedly not involved. When using Rufus I was met with messages about grub I didn't quit understand. Then booted up and didn't get the Ubuntu start screen, but was offered 3 choices, none of them worked and it timed out with an error message. If you try this, be sure to remove all drives that are not needed so at least you won't damage anything.
It is taking hours to install : didn't work. It said successfully completed after about 16 hours. Wouldn't boot, and had to repair my windows installation. I did every step correctly.
lol
you have a garbage flash drive lmfao
use SSD instead, they are so dirt cheap these days and just plug it into an enclosure
It took for me almost 2 hours to complete installation. In the beginning there was some kind of unpacking, and it lasted 30m without changes, I was about to cancel the installation, but then it was completed at the rest of the system was installed within next 1.20h
Now I am going to restart pc and see if everything is ok
After restarting pc the bios kept reloading without loading the Ubuntu, I switched boot drive priority as the system started with wrong partition disk(or whatever it is called). And finally the system started loading with Ubuntu logo on the screen and loading animation and i can't understand if is stuck on the loading screen or it is actually loading lol
So i pressed esc button and it was actually loading network dispatcher and other services. Now it stuck on gnome display manager
Installation was successful. First loading till desktop took another 10+ minutes
One question, can I install it on a different pc and use it on another?
Yes
Just install virtual box on your windows machine then create windows 10 and boot your ubuntu image from virtual machine
High speed usb drive, Which speed do you recommend?
Like the ones in the description
The installation took over 2 hours with a SanDisk 3.2 128GB Flash drive. Currently my PC hangs in the Ubuntu loading screen for 15+ minutes. I guess this boot will never finish. Puhh what a waste of time. It is much more convenient to create a live Linux with a writable partition. This will boot on more or less on every PC
hi mate. is it the same process for installing it on an sd card?
Yes
@@agiledevart Thanks mate!
“Should I blow it” is crazyyyyy
Can you provider please, some link for some USB Stick useful for that installation :)
Did you try the ones in the video description?
@@agiledevart ops... No 😅
What's a "decent usb drive"?
use SSD+enclosure instead, they are dirt cheap nowadays
I followed your instructions which make completely sense to me. But unfortunately I now have Grub on the windows disk. Without the usb drive it gets stuck in the Grub screen. The pc is for study purposes, so I have no admin access. I found a fix with the efibootmgr command inside Linux to change the boot order, but it's not very persistent and somehow Linux gets back into the first position again. Any idea how to remove grub or move it to the Linux USB?
Thanks for your work.
PD: I think my mistake was that I first run the normal install on the usb drive without success afterwards I did the "something else" option.
I think I have the same problem. When I have Ubuntu as 1st boot priority I am stuck on Gub and cannot boot. But if I have my Ububtu SSD inserted I can boot into both windows and Ubuntu. Have you found a way to solve this?
@@hobbybaschtler7896 Your problem is that during install Linux writes Grub into the efi partition on your Windows disk and sets itself at first position. That means that you can select your OS when the Linux disc is present, but you get stuck when it's missing because it's in the first place. There are several fixes using Windows, but I had no admin access so I needed a solution using Linux:
Install efibootmgr
Read about it:
efibootmgr --help
man efibootmgr
Run efibootmgr in terminal and you get a list of the boot order
Run sudo efibootmgr -b XXXX -B
with XXXX as entry to remove from boot.
Check new boot order with efibootmgr again
This worked for me but is not always persistent. I guess it changes when you remove the disc and put it back again.
You might try to fix the efi entries from windows if this is not working properly. Linux creates a subfolder inside the efi partition which needs to be removed. Read about it before you touch it. Breaking your boot partition is no fun. I also found a solution to install Linux on another disc without getting the Grub entry if you are interested. Hope that helps and good luck.
2 usb drives are not needed, i will share link to another video if I found a better one. This video is not helpful for me. thanks anyway.
The usb drive won’t unmount for some reason
Same issue
What u did to resolve this issue
@anjuligoel9487 you need 2 drives, one with the live environment and one with nothing on it. The one with nothing on it is where u install the partition
How is this approach different from your previous video????
New installer, no efi partition fixing, straight forward
@@agiledevart so the efi partition is not needed for the USB to function on any computer?
@@agiledevart *the efi partition fixing
@@soulozampa not needed, it should work out of the box
@@agiledevart ok got it. Thanks. I really appreciate your videos. Now I have a few "computers" that I can plug and play anywhere
Its a good idea if you have external m.2 nvme 3.1 , otherwise linux will be lazy.😀
is it safe if i use ubuntu on USB for crypto ?
If you run it on a machine with a fully encrypted hard disk or without a hard disk, then absolutely yes
@@agiledevart need to do more research .... So it means Pc wothout HDD so by tuning on strsight boot from Usb ubuntu? Or hhd fully encrypted- the disk where systém is ? So if systém is on encrypted- disk no oné Can hack IT through internet?
@72trader I mean Pc without HDD and boot straight from USB Ubuntu. The point is to restrict access to your HDD where your private data is stored if ubuntu gets hacked while doing crypto stuff on it. You can always wipe out the USB drive and reinstall ubuntu on it if something happens
@@agiledevart ok thanks a lot , i will search videos about it
Wszystko fajnie.. tylko ta gęba rozprasza :)
What if the installation never ends?
I had it,
You need to restart the installation
If the installation goes on and on, some people started installing it not knowing what it was.
It just goes reaaly slow, for like 6+ hours
Thats dumb
I cant even start ubuntu after it, cause its loading infinitly
Then that sucks
😂😂😂😂😂
no no no the most important bit - how to boot using the USB you missed out.
