I am finishing the test with a persistent live system made with mkusb after two nights.
I did not let mkusb change 'what to do, when security updates are detected', so the corresponding system from the 16.04.1 LTS iso file would perform unattended upgrades. The used drive space increased from 66 MiB to 88 MiB. I did not check which files were written, but I assume some log files. This is far from the big increase of used space, when the system performs unattended upgrades. So I can confirm that the bugfix in casper works also in a persistent live system. We can look forward to the next point release, Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS, where it will be implemented. Today it is possible to grab the Ubuntu Xenial daily iso file and make a live drive without unattended upgrades :-) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1619188 Title: Unattended upgrades can break persistent live media To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/casper/+bug/1619188/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
