Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. This bug did not have a package associated with it, which is important for ensuring that it gets looked at by the proper developers. You can learn more about finding the right package at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/FindRightPackage . I have classified this bug as a bug in usb-creator. Also, I've been unable to reproduce your issue on Ubuntu 8.10. Here are the steps I took:
1.) Plugged in a Corsair 32GB USB disk 2.) Clicked System -> Administration -> USB start up disk 3.) Clicked Other... and browsed to my ubuntu-8.10-desktop-i386.iso file 4.) Left the default of 128MB "Stored in reserved extra space" setting 5.) Clicked Make Startup Disk 6.) Once done, removed USB disk and placed it in my Fujitsu U810 laptop 7.) Booted into LIVE environment 8.) Created a test.txt file in the Documents folder, saved and closed it 9.) Shutdown laptop and unplugged USB disk 10.) Plugged USB disk back in and booted back into LIVE environment 11.) Checked the Documents folder, and test.txt was still there Where these similar to the steps you took? ** Changed in: usb-creator (Ubuntu) Sourcepackagename: None => usb-creator Status: New => Incomplete -- No persistence with USB Creator in Ubuntu 8.10 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/302485 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
