Most systems will just boot off of the CD, but if yours doesn't, watch the screen right after you power on the machine and look for a "Boot Menu" option, or something similar. For example, on Dell systems, you press F Navigation menu Personal tools Log in. Namespaces Page Discussion. By default, option 1 contains everything described on the About page.
Option 2: "Advanced image" allows an installer to designate the size of the base system and user changes partitions at install time see ubermix Customization for details.
Simple updates are described on the Customization page, and should only be run on a system that has already been installed per option 1. For help with general problems or model specific issues, be sure to check the ubermix wiki.
More importantly, if you find a solution to a problem with your particular device, be sure to share it there as well! If nothing there works, there are certain rare circumstances where a pre-existing hard disk partition table will be in a state that is incompatible with the ubermix install. To reset the partition table, boot from the ubermix key, choose option "5 Expert Options", then option "4 Reset partition table".
If you have tried everything else, you can force an old-school partition setup by doing the following: boot from the ubermix key, choose option "5 Expert Options", then option "5 Create a legacy partition map", and follow the instructions that follow. In many cases, hardware capable of running Windows will also support the traditional method utilizing a feature called "legacy mode".
We've seen two different mechanisms for enabling legacy mode in various BIOS implementations: either a "Boot Mode" option that specifically lists 'legacy', or a "CSM" Compatibility Support Module that can be enabled to support legacy boot - CSM seems to be most prevalent on Asus hardware. If you already have ubermix installed, your system is in legacy mode, so no changes should be necessary. If your system does not support legacy boot or is an Apple Mac , then you must use ubermix 3.
The catch was that the school's computers were running an unsupported version of Windows without virus protection.
To my disappointment, each week of class one or two more machines developed viruses, rendering them unusable. The school does not have a budget for new computers, thus beginning my exploration into ubermix. It was created with K education in mind and, as someone lacking experience installing operating systems, I was happy to read that the developers specifically intended to reduce the complexity of installing an OS when they created it.
Now that I have ubermix running on several machines that just a week ago were beginning to collect dust, I can confirm that, yes, installing ubermix can be a quick and straightforward process. Installing ubermix involves downloading their file, finding out the name your computer assigns to your USB stick or key, then running one command to copy and install ubermix on your USB.
Then you use the USB stick to boot and install ubermix on one or more computers. The first question I faced when I got to the ubermix download and install page was, "Which version should I choose? Once it downloaded, my instinct was to drag and drop the operating system onto my flash drive and begin installing it on the damaged computers.
However, after redirecting to the installation instructions page, I saw that it may not be so simple. Creating a USB key is a different and, for the uninitiated, more cryptic process than the typical download and install. For Mac users such as myself, it requires going to the Terminal software window and typing in a few commands.
For example, here is the command typed in a Terminal window to install ubermix on a flash drive using a Mac:. This command is less frightening than it might appear. Here is what each part of the command does:. An education-oriented computer operating system based on the Ubuntu Linux distribution. New in ubermix 1. Added the ubermix apt repository and removed other no-longer-necessary repos.
