What I have:

1) 128 GB USB drive

2) Dell Laptop with Windows 7, 8 GB memory, Intel i7-3540M

What I want:

3) Bootable USB drive with Ubuntu 12.04 for that hardware configuration, with GUI, with most of that drive available persistently.

My preferred method:

4) Something like Universal USB installer, to put an image of a 64 bit desktop version of Ubuntu 12.04 on, and then do the gparted/casper-rw partition re-sizing.

I cannot find such a thing. On the releases page I see 64 bit desktop for AMD, or 32 bit desktop for i386. Am I looking for something which does not exist?

(Why I want it: I am desperately trying to get cross-compilation support for a new Jetson Nvidia card, and I am led to believe that Nvidia does not support cross compilation from anything more recent than 12.04... which is baffling, since the card itself comes with 14.04, but if my statement is out of date I cannot find any evidence of it. I'm sure this will be the topic of an upcoming question.)

  • Are you saying that AMD64 will work for this hardware?

  • This worked. If you convert your comment to an answer, I will happily accept it. Now, of course, the initial apt-get update and install are failing, but that is a different problem.

AMD64 image is not for AMD CPUs, but exactly what you need. 64-bit image that will work on Core i7.
