And, if you come up with any improvements, I'dДЄppreciate it if you emailed them back to me so I can add them in. Text editor and make sure it's not doing something nasty. Good thing about a perl script is that you can look through it with any

Thanks to Christopher Hinkle for fixing a problem with the windows version. USB key (and a CD-ROM version of it) would both be invalid in that case. In that case this script will fail, but there is nothing I can do about that.

Package_with_very_long_filename_that_is_more_than_64_chars_long_b ForД®xample, if you try to write these two filenames to a CD-ROM they will overwrite Obviously this fails with very long file names that differ after 64 characters. If *that* file exists, then we rename the truncated file back to the original Is missing, then we check to see if a file exists with the truncated version of theДЇilename. The algorithm is to go through each filename in the md5Д¬hecksum file if the file already exists under that name, then we are fine. Original names of the files from the md5sum.txt file, which has a md5 checksum of everyДЇile on the USB key (I think). Was? Some characters were lost when the filename was truncated. Place in truncated form, how can you possibly know what the original name of the file You might well ask, if the files are written onto the USB stick in the first It renames the truncated files back to their original, un-truncated This script fixes the problem (at least, for Ubuntu LTS server 12.04.2, which is what (which was written with a truncated name in anticipation of being written to a CD-ROM)

#Install ubuntu from usb driver

Handed a long file name to read, the driver does *not* truncate the file name, and the file

USB stick (as far as I know) has no limitations on the file name length. However I speculate that the USB driver does not do this truncation when reading, since a Truncate the filename to 64 chars, and so finds the file under the name it was written. Max, and the CD-ROM driver, when given an overly long file name to read, will automatically In thatД®vent everything will work - the filename was written to the CD-ROM with only 64 chars Is too long, the CD-ROM driver truncates that long name to a 64-char name. Perhaps when a *real* CD-ROM file system is given a file name that

#Install ubuntu from usb iso

I believe that most ISO Linux images useД¦4-char (max) filenames when they are created, in the belief that they will be written Have more characters than that in the filename. On the other hand, many of the package names in Ubuntu LTS server (which is what I use) The traditional explanation is that it can only be 64 characters. Now a CD-ROM has limitations as to the file The crux of the issue seems to be that when the USB stick is written from an ISO image, theДЇilenames are written 'as if' it were a CD-ROM. On the internet that people generally get this working, so why does it always fail What does the script do?I have never gotten Ubuntu on a USB stick to work.

cd to the flash drive and run the script.

Copy this perl script to the USB flash drive.

#Install ubuntu from usb download

Download my perl script for Linux: fix_USB_boot_problems_v01_.

If you are making the flash drive on Linux:.

Try installing from the flash drive now - hopefully it will work.

Wait for it to finish running (takes a minute).

Using ordinary drag-and-drop, copy this perl script to the USB flash drive (root directory of the flash drive).

#Install ubuntu from usb install

Download and install ActivePerl for Windows (I use the free community edition).

If you are making the flash drive on MS Windows:.

Make your USB flash drive as per normal (i.e., the one that doesn't work).

As far as you can tell, nothing fixes the problem. Using a new, or different, USB flash drive does not fix the problem. If retrying does not work, you should check the integrity of Was a problem reading data from the CD-ROM.
