Install Ubuntu 7.10 ” Gutsy Ribbon” Dari USB Flash

Bagi yang ingin menginstall Ubuntu 7.10 tanpa CDROM bisa
menggunakan USB FLASH sebagai alternatif, syaratnya PC harus support booting
dari USB Port dan USB flash dengan kapasitas minimal 1 GB.
Untuk membuat USB
bisa sebagai bootable di perlukan syslinux atau software pembuat bootable
lainnya, saya menggunakan syslinux untuk membuat USB bootable karena aplikasinya
sudah ada direpo ubuntu.
untuk install applikasi syslinux di ubuntu ( infonya
syslinuxnya lihat disini ) bisa langsung dilakukan dari terminal konsole
$
sudo apt-get install syslinux mtools
Setelah proses installasi selesai
kemudian mount USB, Biasanya partisi USB ada pada /dev/sdb atau /dev/sdb1, dan
di mounting di dalam folder media dengan nama folder usb atau nama label USB
tersebut, untuk melihat partisi harddisk dan USB bisa dengan cara :
$ sudo
fdisk -l
untuk membuat USB Flsh bisa sebagai bootable dengan syslinux cukup
mengetikan perintah ini pada terminal konsole
$ sudo syslinux -s /dev/sdb1
selanjutnya copy semua file yang ada di Live CD Ubuntu 7.10 “Gutsy Ribbon”
ke dalam USB
$ sudo cp -rp /media/cdrom/* /dev/sdb1
Setelah proses copy
file selesai, ubah nama folder isolinux menjadi syslinux, didalam folder
syslinux ganti nama file isolinux.bin dan isolinux.cfg menjadi syslinux.bin dan
syslinux.cfg.
Untuk Windows Download file syslinux dari sini , kemudian
extrak ke dalam direktori C dengan nama syslinux.
Pada command promt windows
masuk ke direktory c\:syslinux\win32, gunakan perintah berikut untuk membuat usb
bisa sebagai bootable disk : syslinux -s F: ( asumsi usb drive di F ), kemudian
copy semua file di Ubuntu 7.10 Live CD ke dalam USB, sebaiknya gunakan command
xcopy /e /h /k d:\*.* f: (D sebagai CDROM).
Selanjutnya USB flash sudah bisa
di gunakan sebagai penganti Ubuntu 7.10 Gutsy Ribbon Live CD.

   • Sans-serif fonts (alternatives to Verdana, Tahoma, etc.): DejaVu Sans, FreeSans.
   • Fixed-width fonts (alternatives to Courier New, Lucida Console, etc.): DejaVu Sans Mono, FreeMono.
2. If, after trying the fonts above, you still want to get Windows fonts, here's how:

   sudo apt-get install msttcorefonts
   

Relocating the /home directory

Important: This only applies if you want to move the /home directory to another drive/partition, or if you want to activate an existing home directory on another drive/partition.

1. Carefully write down these instructions since they require you to close the browser.
2. Save and close all open programs, and then log out (as opposed to restart or shutdown).
3. Press CTRL+ALT+F2; you will be taken to the TTY2 command line.
4. Stop the Gnome Desktop Manager:

   sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop
   

5. (Note: Skip this step if you already have the contents of your /home directory in the desired partition.) Copy your /home directory to the desired partition, say /media/new_home_partition:

   sudo cp -pR /home/$USER /media/new_home_partition
   sudo chown $USER:$USER /media/new_home_partition/$USER 

6. Make the desired partition mount as /home:

   sudo cp /etc/fstab /etc/fstab.backup
   sudo nano /etc/fstab
   

   If the mount point for any entry is currently listed as /home, change it from

   # /dev/old_home_partition
   UUID=... /home ...
   

   to

   # /dev/old_home_partition
   UUID=... /media/old_home_partition ...
   

   Then set mount point for the desired partition's entry to /home by changing

   # /dev/new_home_partition
   UUID=... /media/new_home_partition ...
   

   to

   # /dev/new_home_partition
   UUID=... /home ...
   

   Save the file (i.e., press CTRL+O) and exit Nano (i.e., press CTRL+X).
7. Press CTRL+ALT+DEL to reboot; after rebooting, your /home directory will be located in the new partition.

Enable 5-button mouse

1. If you have a 5-button mouse, you can enable the forward and back buttons as follows:

   sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup.mouse
   sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
   

   Change:

   Section "InputDevice"
    ...
    Driver "mouse"
    ...
    Option "Emulate3Buttons" ...
    Option "ZAxisMapping"    ...
    ...
   EndSection
   

   to:

   Section "InputDevice"
    ...
    Driver "mouse"
    ...
    Option "Emulate3Buttons" "false"
    Option "Buttons"         "7"
    Option "ButtonMapping"   "1 2 3 8 9 10 11"
    Option "ZAxisMapping"    "4 5"
    ...
   EndSection
   

2. (optional) Restart Gnome Desktop Manager for these settings to take effect.

Install nVidia graphics driver

Note that installing the nVidia driver will fix some screen resolution problems.

1. If you plan to connect multiple monitors, start out by connecting only the main monitor in order to keep things simple. (Once you have the driver working fine for just that monitor, you can then connect the other monitors and use the nvidia-settings utility to configure them.)
2. Now reset the X server configuration to very basic settings:

sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg

You will be presented with a series of questions. Choose the default answers for all the questions except for the following:
1. Choose "vesa" for the X server driver.
2. Choose "No" for monitor autodection.
3. Choose "medium" for the method for selecting the monitor characteristics.
4. Choose "1024x768 @ 60Hz" for the monitor's best video mode. (Don't worry, we'll get better screen resolutions once we install and enable the nVidia driver.)
5. Choose "Yes" for writing the monitor sync ranges to the config file.
You can now optionally restart the Gnome Desktop Manager (GDM) for these settings to take effect before continuing. Alternatively, you can just continue the driver installation without restarting the GDM.
3. Install and enable the nVidia driver:

sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-new
sudo nvidia-glx-config enable

Note: If you have a GeForce4 video card, you may need to use nvidia-glx instead of nvidia-glx-new. And if you have a very old card, like a TNT, you may need to use nvidia-glx-legacy instead.
4. Reboot the computer for these settings to take effect. (In theory, you could just restart the Gnome Desktop Manager, but I ran into a situation where, after an error, the nVidia driver didn't seem to load upon restart the GDM.)
5. Set up screen resolution, dual monitors, Xinerama, etc.:

sudo nvidia-settings

You can change the settings in the "X Server Display Configuration" section and then click the "Save to X Configuration" button and save the file as /etc/X11/xorg.conf.
6. (optional) Disable the nVidia splash screen:

sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Change:

Section "Device"
...
Driver "nvidia"
...
EndSection

to:

Section "Device"
...
Driver "nvidia"
...
Option "NoLogo" "true"
EndSection

7. (optional) Restart Gnome Desktop Manager for these settings to take effect.

Printer sharing

1. On the server:
   1. Set up your printer, and make sure it's turned on and working.
   2. Click on the "System" / "Administration" / "Printing" menu.
   3. Select "Server Settings" on the left, and turn on "Share published printers connected to this system". This will allow printer sharing over your private network. If you want to access the printer over the Internet, also turn on "Allow printing from the Internet".
   4. Select your printer under "Local Printers" on the left, select the "Policies" tab, and turn on "Enabled", "Accepting jobs", and "Shared".
   5. Use Firestarter to open port 631 (the default IPP port) for the IP addresses to which you want to give printer access. If you want to restrict printer access to your private network, set the policy to open your IPP port for only 192.168.0.0/16 (i.e., IPs of the form 192.168.xxx.xxx).
   6. If you are behind a router on a private network, give your server a static private IP (e.g., 192.168.1.30) by clicking on the "System" / "Administration" / "Network" menu item and setting up a static IP. Note that the "gateway address" should be the router's address (e.g., 192.168.0.1, 192.168.1.1, or whatever).
   7. If you want to access your server over the Internet and are behind a router, configure the router to allow access to your server's IPP port (port 631).
   8. If you want to access your server over the Internet and your Internet Service Provider doesn't give you a static IP address, you need to set up a publicly accessible hostname.
2. On the client:
   1. Click on the "System" / "Administration" / "Printing" menu.
   2. Click on the "New Printer" button.
   3. Select "Other", and enter the following URI:

      http://$SERVER:631/printers/$PRINTER 

      where $SERVER is the server URL or IP address and $PRINTER is the printer name on the server, and then click "Forward" and follow the remaining steps as you would for local printer setup. You can find the names of the shared printer on a server by visiting the following URL in your web browser:

      http://$SERVER:631/printers
      

      where $SERVER is the server URL or IP address.

Update and upgrade packages

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

sudo apt-get update

Install Ubuntu

See here for some other good installation guides: APC's Linux/Vista/XP dual-booting guide and Psychocats' installation guide.

1. Download the Ubuntu installation CD/DVD image, and then burn the image to CD/DVD.
2. If you have multiple monitors, disconnect all but the main one.
3. Boot off the CD/DVD. This usually involves simply rebooting the computer with the CD/DVD in the appropriate drive. For some computers you may need to hit F12 (or F2, or DEL, or something like that) at the appropriate time during boot and select from a menu to boot off the CD.
4. Choose the "Start Ubuntu in safe graphics mode" option.
5. After the computer boots into the Live CD version of Ubuntu, double-click the Install icon on the Desktop.
6. At this point, your screen resolution might be too low to be able see or click the "Forward" button at the bottom of the Install window. If this is the case, you can fix the problem as follows:
   1. Close the over-sized Install window.
   2. Open a terminal by clicking on the Applications menu and then on the Accessories submenu and then on the Terminal menu item.
   3. In the terminal, type:

      sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
      

      and then press ENTER on your keyboard.
   4. You will be presented with a series of questions. Choose the default answers to all questions, except for the following:
      1. Choose "Medium" for the method for selecting monitor characteristics.
      2. Choose "1028x768 @ 60Hz" for the monitor's best video mode.
   5. After you answer all the questions and are back in the regular terminal, restart the Gnome Desktop Manager by pressing CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE on your keyboard.
   6. Wait for a few seconds without pressing any keys until Ubuntu automatically logs back in and you can see the desktop again.
   7. You should now have a better resolution.
   8. Double-click the Install icon on the Desktop and you should be able to see the full install window.
7. Select your language, location and time-zone, and keyboard layout.
8. When you reach the "Prepare disk space" section, choose to "Manually edit partition table". Note that you can decide to keep any existing Windows partition(s) (in which case Ubuntu will install itself with dual boot options). However, if the Windows partitions take up the whole hard drive, then you must first shrink these partition(s) in order to free up space for your Ubuntu partitions. I recommend setting up three new partitions (in addition to the shrunk Windows partition) for Ubuntu as follows:

   Purpose	Size	Filesystem
   swap space	1-2GB	linux-swap
   root directory (/)	6-10GB	ReiserFS (or ext3)
   home directory (/home)	remaining free space	ReiserFS (or ext3)

   The /home directory will hold your documents, music, pictures, etc., so you should plan to invest adequate space for that. Putting /home on a separate partition allows you to upgrade/reinstall the OS without touching your documents.
9. Migrate Documents and Settings if applicable and/or desired.
10. Select your user name, password and computer name.
11. Review your choices, and then click "Install".
12. Browse the web or read a magazine while Ubuntu installs.
13. Eventually, you will be informed that the installation is complete, at which point click the "Restart now" button.
14. Just before Ubuntu finishes restarting, you will be prompted to remove the install CD/DVD. Make sure to do so in order to avoid booting back into the install CD.
15. If Ubuntu detected Windows on another partition, it will present you with dual boot options using GRUB. The top option is Ubuntu. Choose it, or else just let the timer count down to zero.
16. After the computer boots into the newly installed Ubuntu, log in using the user name and password that you selected earlier during installation.
17. Congratulations! You are now running Ubuntu! :)
