Could you please paste it onto pasteboard.co (or somewhere similar) and send the link? There can be issues with UEFI and Linux but this is normally because of flaky UEFI implementations and Dells should behave themselves so I think it should be possible to achieve what you want and get it to boot reliably. From your description I can't tell if the error regarding USB-3 is coming from Grub or from the Kernel. Hopefully when I see the screenshot image it will be clear. Once I can see where in the boot process the error is occurring I think we can use the Gateway laptop to fix the system on the drive. If you plug the external drive into your Gateway it boots right up, right? If so, things we can do are: 1) Disable the boot logo and reveal all the diagnostic messages 2) Force Grub to load all relevant drivers 3) Rebuild the initrd to ensure the kernel properly starts the USB3 stack before mounting the root filesystem 4) Upgrade the kernel to the "utopic" or "vivid" backport version. I can't do this on the regular ISO because it stuffs up VirtualBox client driver support, but it might well fix your problem. Anyway, post up the image and we'll go from there.

See comments from @gpertea on https://github.com/infphilo/tophat/issues/18 So if you have used Tophat for something this year you should consider re-running the alignment with the new updated version to check your results, even if you did not use multi-thread mode.

However, I would direct you to http://nebc.nerc.ac.uk/downloads/bio-linux-7-20131211.ova which is a BL7 image you can import in VirtualBox, which will be much quicker than installing it on bare metal. Note the admin account is manager, password also manager. I'll have another look at the package. I'd assumed before that you could install it easily via install.packages() but if it's problematic then it's more worth my time to fix it for everyone.

Message-ID: <5609477B.3060202@vhir.org> Hi: This is my first message in this list, and let me start with a "thank you" for such nice and useful project that "BioLinux" is. Congratulations for the quality of the product achieved so far! We are planning to use BioLinux for some hands-on work training sessions for a Bioinformatics course we teach in a Masters Degree at University. So far we have prepared a modified version of BioLinux8 virtual box appliance (.ova) so that it includes the extra packages that we plan to use in our course. So far, so good, for students with recent computers (so that they can run the whole thing inside a virtualbox-powered virtual machine in their computers). But we are concerned expecting to have some students with old-ish computers (from the 60 students enrolled in the course), and we did setup another virtualbox-powered virtual machine with BioLinux8 on a "Headless" server so that those students (5 or so?, we presume) will be able to connect through RDP to one of our servers to use BioLinux there. We followed these instructions for the setup: https://www.howtoforge.com/vboxheadless-running-virtual-machines-with-virtualbox-4.3-on-a-headless-ubuntu-14.04-lts-server However, only one RDP connection seems to be allowed at a time. I tried these tweaks I could find around: "Ubuntu 14.04 ? Gnome Classic alike Desktop for XRDP : MATE-Desktop" http://c-nergy.be/blog/?p=5382 so that some new .xsession is created at the host for each new user attempting to connect to the guest BioLinux8 through the host Ubuntu 14.04, but I didn't succeed... I presume the changes needed to have that .xsession created for vboxheadless-version of the BioLinux are different from the standard changes to have several RDP connections working concurrently. Any clue anyone? Thanks in advanced!

Don't use RDP, use "x2go" - Bio-Linux 8 comes with the "x2go" server pre-installed. You just need to install the "x2go" client on your Windows/Mac desktop or laptop PC's. I'm particularly interested in Bio-Linux as a terminal server, so please let me know how you get on? The most important thing is to set the "x2go" client to use the MATE desktop. I've used this to run Bio-Linux courses with 20 or more people accessing the same server via "x2go" without any problems.

We are using already X2Go in the production server (where we did start the virtualbox machine with BioLinux), and I am still reluctant (feeling lazy and conservative, maybe) to setup everything by hand there, since it might interfere with other customizations we have in that production server (and it took a while to have the whole thing working as intended; if curious, ISPConfig3 setup with ssh-jailkit enabled in that server also). I'm seriously considering that option, again (X2Go to url server and add the biolinux repos, system upgrade, analyse the upgrade sh script for biolinux I saw somewhere a few days ago, etc) , if I can't find another less-risky solution (the RDP to a virtualbox-contained BioLinux server seemed the safest approach for our case). Thanks for the feedback already provided about this topic!

Hi, Xavier. If you can SSH into the VM, then you can use "x2go" to connect to it.
