I repro the "no persistence" on several separate ubuntu machines. I don't recall the attempts to write making the stick unbootable though.
Was using a 4GB corsair, freshly formatted fat32. ubuntu 8.10 and 9.04 AMD64. I maxed out the persistence file size for my stick (about 3.1 GB). usb-creator proceeded to write the iso to the disk but at the end a small window with a red warning circle with a white horizontal line appeared. There was no text message. I closed that out & rebooted. It booted into the live system properly. I created a small text file on the desktop and one in / . neither one persisted through a subsequent clean reboot. As a test I later manually created a casper-rw file in the root of my usb stick (there was not one present) and persistence started working. I see the casper packages are not a dependency of the usb-creator package. Lupine: do you have them installed? I do not. there's a thread over at ubuntu forums where several people report problems w/ persistence: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1077904 -- 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
