Ubuntu Installation :: Select Persistence Option For USB?

Apr 3, 2010

I'm about to install a version of Ubuntu onto a 32GB flash drive, I've downloaded are Universal USB installer that will do most of the work for me, however, it asks

Step 4: Select a persistence option for your USB
and the options are
1GB CASPER -RW
2GB CASPER -RW
3GB CASPER -RW
4GB CASPER -RW

What is persistence? am I better off having more (ie 4GB) since my flash drive is a 32GB drive?

Ubuntu Installation :: Select The Windows 7 Option, The Machine Just Hangs With A Black Screen, White Cursor Top Left?

May 6, 2010

I'm running an Acer 1810Tz, dual boot with win7.Under 9.10 and Grub I had no boot issues, however I have just completed the upgrade to 10.04 and upgraded GRUB to GRUB2.Everything boots just fine into Ubuntu, and my GRUB menu looks right, but when I select the Windows 7 option, the machine just hangs with a black screen, white cursor top left. I'm sure this is a trivial problem, something overwritten that shouldn't have been perhaps, but I have no clue where to start.

Fedora :: Select A Different MPM Compile Time Option?

Aug 15, 2011

I want to recompile apache so I can select a different MPM compile time option. I have looked in the graphical application manager, but I don't see a development version of apache like you do for many of the packages. Am I not looking in the right place for the source code for the Apache 2.2.17 available with FC14?

Alternatively, I can download the source from apache.org for 2.2.17. However, the install options default to a host of different directories than the FC14 version does. Being somewhat OCD I hate to mess up my FC14 system by installing to a bunch of anomalous directories, and I don't want to break anything. I can change the default install directories, if I knew what the FC14 apache 2.2.17 was compiled with. There is an httpd-devel-2.2.17-1 package. But the description makes it sound like it is for developing additional modules. I want to recompile the main httpd-2.2.17-1 package. Does anyone know if this is a possibility?

Fedora Hardware :: F15 - No Option To Select Parallel Port?

May 28, 2011

I just replaced F14 with F15 (clean install). Now, when I try to add my HP Deskjet 710 printer I'm not seeing any option to select the parallel port. I've tested the hardware with an old F10 live CD, and every thing's okay there. Does the parallel port still exist in F15, or has it been nuked?

Ubuntu :: When Select - Option To Boot Windows At The Grub Menu - Error

Jan 10, 2010

I installed Ubuntu as a dual-boot system with Windows XP very carefully. Unfortunately, though given the option to boot Windows at the grub menu, when I select it, I get an error. Booting Ubuntu on my other partition works just fine, no issues.

I also attempted to access files from the first partition in Ubuntu using gparted, but once I mounted it, all of my files were not present. I only saw manufacturer files, and many files and folders I didn't recognize.

Also, as an aside, my laptop monitor is suffering from occasional black-outs during use. Ubuntu gave me a little toolbar flag, telling me to go to a website and use the patches given to fix it, but I'm not quite so sure where to input the given patch text. Do I really need to go through the trouble of finding the source code, etc., or is it more simple?

Ubuntu Installation :: How To Disable / Lock Persistence

i made a persistent Live USB from the Ubuntu Maverick option Startup Disk Creator in the live cd distro. It works really good, i've installed the apps and changes i wanted, but now i'd like to lock persistency so no new changes or any data whatsoever may be stored. Is there a way to disable this capability so it may behave just like the CD adding the changes i made?

Ubuntu Installation :: LiveUSB Persistence Error

Jun 1, 2011

I have a USB with two partitions, one FAT32 with Ubuntu 10.04 on it, and one ext4 partition labelled casper-rw. According to the docs this should do to create a persistence installation, but I still get the "can't find persistence medium" error when booting.

Did I do something wrong or is this a bug?

I installed with unetbootin on the FAT32 partition and created the partitions using GParted.

Ubuntu Installation :: Upgrading LiveUSB While Retaining Persistence

Jan 6, 2011

I presently have a Karmc LiveUSB with a casper-rw partition, but am thinking of changing the LiveUSB image to Maverick, while still using the existing casper-rw partition and its data (mostly settings for Ubuntu itself, haven't installed any programmes). Using usb-creator, by the way. Are the config files for Karmic and Maverick significantly different that this will cause any major problems? [Separately, I think this will have implications for my existing Karmic install, because I'm planning to clone my Karmic /home partition to a fresh Maverick install.

Debian Installation :: Live USB With Persistence

Oct 19, 2014

I copy the debian-live-7.6.0-i386-standard.iso to the usb. Now i can live boot into the usb.

I also follow the guide "10.3.1 The persistence.conf file" to make /dev/sda2 my persistence partition. When it boot up and i add the parameter "persistence" it will works. But i want to know how to make it automatically boot with the parameter?

My guess is that i have to make my own live cd then copy to the usb again. If that is it, any tutorial how to make live cd from the live cd i already downloaded?

Ubuntu Installation :: Create A Live Disc On The SD Card With Persistence Options?

Jun 18, 2010

I have an Eee PC with a dead Hdd. I brought it back to life by installing Ubuntu 10.10 on a 16GB SD card. It works 100% but is sluggish.Now I am wondering, from the standpoint of reducing SD card access and writes, would it have been better to create a Live Disc on the SD card with persistence options? What I am thinking is that a Live Disc is designed to run out of RAM, and would thus reduce the activity on the SD card. The only thing this netbook will get used for is the internet. It is a netbook, so the performance is limited, but as far as netbooks go, it is top of the line with dual core and discrete nvidia graphics.

Debian Installation :: Live System Working With Encrypted Persistence

Oct 28, 2014

I tried a while getting a live system working with encrypted persistence. The command

Code: Select alllive-persistence activate /dev/sdx2

works perfect, but boot time persistence works only for unencrypted storage. 'Cause I can not append the boot-log as file the most important part here:

Code: Select all+ tailpid=123
+ tail -f boot.log
+ cat /proc/cmdline
+ LIVE_BOOT_CMDLINE=BOOT_IMAGE=/live/vmlinuz boot=live noeject keyboard-layouts=de components persistence persistence-encryption=luks,none initrd=/live/initrd.img debug=true
+ Cmdline_old
+ PERSISTENCE=true
+ export PERSISTENCE

[Code] ....

The most confusing line is "Warning: cryptsetup is unavailable" - I took a look into the scripts, it checks if cryptsetup and askpass is executable if not this message. But:

I mounted the hdd-img file local and took a look: all binaries there.

So I tried a lot getting it working on boot time. I tried it with live-tools from testing, from wheezy and last but not least installed and pinned live-tools to unstable. Always the same. askpass isn't executable on boot time before mounting the persistence.

Config is
Code: Select alllb config noauto
    --apt apt
    --bootstrap debootstrap
    --binary-images iso-hybrid
    --distribution testing
    --mirror-bootstrap http://ftp.debian.de/debian/

[Code] .....

(tried with binary-images=hdd, too)

and yes, cryptsetup is inside package-list (otherwise live-persistence from within running machine with crypted partitions would not work). Live tools I used for last run is 4.0.3-1 from unstable, before tried with 4.0.2-1 from testing.

Whats going wrong in boot system?

Ubuntu :: Select "run As Administrator" But When Right Click The Option Isn't Available

Jun 17, 2010

The last Windows OS I use is XP to run work software. Now my father-in-law Paul, has asked me if I knew what's with the printer drivers on W7. I was surprised by not knowing, for everything else I use Ubuntu. So here's the question when trying to print Paul gets a popup that says he must right click and select "run as administrator" but when he right clicks the option isn't available. I'm going over there tonight so does anybody know what Microsoft has worked out to make their OS safe and what I should do about getting his printer printing?

Sep 16, 2010

I have a SONY PCG-R505TE laptop with an external CD/DVD, it connects via what I think is a PCMCIA card, the drive came with the laptop and functions fine. I currently have Windows XP running on this laptop, but it's very slow.I downloaded openSUSE-11.3-GNOME-LiveCD-i686.iso and sucessfully burned it to a CD.I have the laptop bios set to boot from CD, and it appears to be doing that no problem. When it boots I first see the welcome screen, then the openSUSE Installer, whether I select the Live (GNOME) option, or the Installation.. it loads the kernel, and then loads the KIWI boot systemit is on the third event, waiting for CD/DVD dvices to appear... that something seems to fail... I then see Failed to detect CD/DVD or USB drivethen a rebootexception and it reboots in 120 seconds.
