[vox-tech] need help with an error installing Ubuntu through Live USB Creator (LiLi)

[Nicholas Weigand]

Not to derail the conversation, but I'd be up for an installfest.  I
actually feel like a walking install fest since I've "installed" linux
on a chromebook and a tablet in the last couple of days, and will be
doing up another chromebook soon.

If anyone does decide to come to the Makerspace do note that we can be
tough to find.  The photos here are helpful:
