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.
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 TH-cam 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.
@@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.
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.
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.
@@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).
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!!
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.
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
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.
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 !!
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
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?
Hello ! What are the possible causes and troubleshooting steps for the ‘integrity: Problem loading X.509 certificate -65’ error message during Ubuntu installation? ?
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!
Is it possible to mount the downloaded iso installer to a virtual drive with a program like PowerISO, and install it from there? Instead of creating a usb installer
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
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 ?
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.
@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
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 :)
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 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
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.

Is the most powerfull topic about install ubuntu in usb, I was for hours looking for until what to find it in this channel.
Thanks! Great jod.
It very slow on usb ?
maybe you wanna tell your audience that in some machines you need to switch off SECURE BOOT in order to boot from a USB
I figured this one out the hard way 😂
I will give it a try, your video makes Ubuntu fairly easy to master !!! Thank you.

you have a garbage flash drive lmfao
use SSD instead, they are so dirt cheap these days and just plug it into an enclosure
Why didn't you use Etcher instead? You could have avoided using two flash drives and in my opinion it's much simpler.
