Ubuntu installation

#Ubuntu 14.04 #Lenovo Twist s230u

There are few method and tools that use to create an Ubuntu boot drive. However I face some problem when i tried to boot the usb in bios with other method but this one works just fine for me.

To run Ubuntu from a USB stick, the first thing you need to do is insert a USB stick with at least 2GB of free space into your PC.
The easiest way to put Ubuntu onto your stick is to use the USB ithisnstaller provided at pendrivelinux.com. You’ll need to download and install and follow the instructions.

Touchpad & Trackpad sometimes not working when the Ubuntu is boot. However when i plugged in usb mouse, it works fine.

Steps:

2. The GRUB configuration file should open. Locate the following line:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=" "

3. Add this into the parameters:

6. Run the following command in terminal:
sudo update-grub

7.Let the grub.conf file get recreated, and then restart.

This is a bug that spans across several Linux distros if not all and is present on laptops (not sure of desktops). From whatever I could gather it is experienced in the Toshiba Satellite L775D-S7135, and many of Compaq and Lenovo laptop models.
