We'll be mostly going for 12.04.03.
We'll try to keep UEFI enabled. But on some laptops it's just not possible. Keep data backup for safety.

The doubts are genuine I'm sure - but would have been more appropriate if one couldn't attend the session or if it is pertaining to something that is not covered in the session.

There are two things: first no matter how one rationalize it, it discourages a
newcomer to participate on the group. This beats the purpose of having a
community of shared interests. We dont have many freshers asking much
(anything), it means only two things: either they know (or believe that know)
everything already or they have reservation about how it will be taken by the
group? True that most of things are answered somewhere which can be easily
searched by google, but thats not how learning happens. Most of it is just
recreation.
Second, our workshops are usually a spoken affair and it brings instant
gratification to both speakers and those who attends it. Written form is more
permanent and long-lasting. Many mistakes are easily avoided when one asks or
answers a question in writing. More importantly, anything written is of greater
value and it serves wider public. Workshops are good social events and they must
be organized but they can hardly replace written documents. Not everyone
remembers what one hears. Personally, I'd rather spend my time answering in
writing on an "open" forum and participating in a workshop where proceedings are
not transcribed.
Also the question asked before the workshops can be of great value to the one
who are conducting the workshops. It can help him organize his material. If
anything, those who shows "apparent urgency to get their doubts clarified"
before the workshop on a medium which is meant for urgent clarification deserves
a small token to thankfulness.

Yesterday's session was quite successful with many UEFI dual boots (We had an accuracy of 100%), but since the process is quite time taking, we couldn't do it for everyone. We'll be continuing post dinner tonight (around 9 I guess). All those who couldn't get their installations done yesterday can come today with their systems.
Also, all those who are facing issues after installation can also join.
Many of you must be facing an issue in formatting your bootable pen drives. Worry not. Bring them to us. We'll format them for you.

Hey, you guys helped me install Ubuntu last night in the NSL. Lan was working there correctly, but now I'm not able to connect to anything. It can't even connect to my phones hotspot.
How should I fix this?
Thanks :)

I installed ubuntu 12.10 but the system boots in ubuntu only when the usb drive is plugged, asking me to install each time. Otherwise, it boots into windows. What should I do?
Hmm. Most likely that grub was installed in pen-drive. Try the following steps.
Boot with your pendrive and check if basic installation is on hardisk. You can check it by clicking on the hardisk icon and see that at least one partition has
/bin/usr/optetc..check the output of
sudo fdisk -l. It looks like followingDevice Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 * 2048 1026047 512000 83 Linux /dev/sda2 1026048 976773119 487873536 8e Linux LVM
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System/dev/sdb1 * 2048 54697983 27347968 83 Linux /dev/sdb2 54697984 229384191 87343104 83 Linux /dev/sdb3 229384192 1460373503 615494656 7 HPFS/NTFS/exFAT /dev/sdb4 1460373504 1953458175 246542336 83 Linux
Usually the first hard-disk is detected as
/dev/sdaXwhere X is an integer. Make sure that this is your primary hard-disk
Now install the grub
$ sudo grub-install --force /dev/sda
Mind the following options too. I have no experience with these options but they are relevant for this thread.
--uefi-secure-boot install an image usable with UEFI Secure Boot. This option is only available on EFI and if the grub-efi-amd64-signed package is installed. --no-uefi-secure-boot do not install an image usable with UEFI Secure Boot, even if the system was currently started using it. This option is only available on EFI.
