I do not think I have had a Live USB to do a disk check with 20.10 and
later, except with 22.04 daily.

What are you using to make your USB, ISO boot using GRUB2, or a tool like
Rufus or mkusb?
I can not duplicate your result using Rufus with Syslinux boot in BIOS mode.
I will try ISO boot using GRUB2 next.

A line comes up about disk check but no disk check is performed. If you
remove the line "fsck.mode=skip" from grub you should see the difference,

And partition sdx3 became persistent after using F6 and persistent

Using sudo mkfs.ntfs -f -L data /dev/sdx3 and sudo mkfs.vfat -n data /dev/sdx3
I can format the third partition.
It is then accessible in Disks but it is not accessible in Windows.
With 20.04 the third partition was accessible in Windows after such formatting.
I have not tested if It can be formatted ext4 an labeled "writable yet.

Creating a Live Only USB using 20.10 20200924 and 12.9.3 ave similar
results to the Persistent install.

Worked fine in BIOS mode.

Gave initramfs unpacking error in UEFI mode plain persistent boot.

Gave initramfs unpacking error in UEFI mode persistent boot with
nomodeset edit, but quickly continued booting to desktop.

Safe Graphic Mode boot also had initramfs unpacking error in UEFI mode
but continued on to Language screen and beyond.

This is similar to my experience trying to boot ISO files directly, but
I only recall the unpacking error that continued to boot with the Live
only USB.

I made a persistent 20.10 USB using 12.6.3 unstable.

Persistent boot in BIOS mode worked okay with a distorted desktop.

Plain Persistent boot ended in initramfs unpacking error.

Safe Mode boot menu option worked with resume option.

Persistent boot edited adding nomodeset to the linux line eventually
worked okay with a distorted desktop. Boot process took over five
minutes.

I will try a clone using mkusb, My guess is that nomodeset will work
okay here also.

Booting ISO Files using GRUB 2

I believe another concern of this Bug is the booting of Groovy ISO files
directly using GRUB 2.

Programs that use this method include Ventoy. YUMI and MultiBootUSB.

I mostly use a BIOS-UEFI Template image developed by sudodus, see:
https://askubuntu.com/questions/1269462/bios-uefi-template-image-for-
booting-iso-files

BIOS mode booting of ISO files now appears to work okay with the latest
Groovy Daily ISO.

The only way I have been able to get UEFI mode booting to work is by
using "nomodeset" which results in a distorted desktop.

This also works for Ventoy, however YUMI BIOS/GRUB and MultiBootUSB are
not yet working with 20.10.

I notice that with BIOS mode booting, that if rmmod tpm is put in the
body of the menuentry, then there is the message "error: no such
module", and  "Press any key to continue..."

If it is put anywhere above fi the computer boots without an error
message.

If it is put anywhere above the menuentry and below fi, we get scrolling
"{FAILED} Failed to start Login Service...", etc. (but I have not tried
indenting in these locations.

Booting in UEFI mode it seems that anywhere that "rmmod tpm" works in
BIOS mode, works for UEFI also.

[Bug 1851311] Re: loopback command hangs in 2.04 under UEFI

2020-05-16 Thread C.S.Cameron
On a previous post I mentioned that I put `rmmod tpm` on it's own line
in grub.cfg menuentry, above the "loopback loop $isofile" line and that
I got "error: no such module" when booting in BIOS mode.

I have discovered, (after testing the latest mkusb - unstable), that
putting `rmmod tpm` up top just above the fi line allows booting ISO's
in UEFI mode without getting the no such module error when booting in
BIOS mode.

2020-05-07 Thread C.S.Cameron
The persistent file/partition name in Ubuntu 20.04 has been officially
changed from casper-rw to writable.

On my computer a persistent partition can be named either casper-rw or
writable and it will still work.

However a persistent file must now be named writable.

One Live USB expert compared this to America changing the name of the
dollar to "valuable".

[Bug 1877222] [NEW] Casper-rw Persistence files not working with 20.04

2020-05-06 Thread C.S.Cameron
Public bug reported:

I have just noticed that casper-rw persistent files are not working with
Ubuntu 20.04 when booted from an ISO file.

Persistent partitions are working, however persistent partitions do not
work with "persistent-path" and only one persistent partition is allowed
per USB disk.

This means that a multiboot, multipersistence USB drive is no longer
possible using ISO files.

Hopefully someone will point out that I am making an error somewhere.

I have also just tested BIOS boot of a Persistent UNetbootin USB drive
and there is no persistence.

2020-05-04 Thread C.S.Cameron
@alkisg Thank you for the workaround, easier that installing grub 2.02
via mkusb.

I put `rmmod tpm` on it's own line in grub.cfg, above the "loopback loop
$isofile" line.

Booting BIOS mode grub 2.02 I get "error: no such module" and then after
a bit it boots okay.

Booting UEFI mode grub 2.04 it boots with no error messages.

Both modes go to Disk Check.

Neither mode goes to the Try/Install screen when booting, nor to remove
drive and press enter when quitting.

[Bug 1875548] [NEW] Live USB disk check

2020-04-28 Thread C.S.Cameron
Public bug reported:

I see that Live Ubuntu 20.04 is plagued by disk checking on boot.

Not just with Live USB but with Persistent USB also.

If not fast enough to cancel with ctl-c it starts on filesystem.squashfs
and runs until over 90% complete.

Very irritating. There have been quite a few complaints on Ask Ubuntu
already.

If it was just a run once it would not be so bad.

Is there some way to get rid of this or is it a bug we have to live
with?

Perusing Ask Ubuntu everyday for many years I have never seen anybody
ask for such a feature.

A run once filesystem check might have its uses on a Live installer
drive but is not needed on a Persistent utility drive.

The only alternative I see is to use a Full install USB drive were
automatic disk checking is not run.

20.04 is the first Ubuntu version to have "maybe-ubiquity" in grub.cfg.

2020-04-25 Thread C.S.Cameron
Best I think if the Disk check only ran once on the first boot of a new
Live or Persistent USB drive and then vanished forever. Is there really
any need for it to run every boot?.

It also seems that the Try Ubuntu / Install Ubuntu screen is back with a
vengeance. It disappeared from persistent drives for a while, but I see
it has returned to Rufus and mkusb persistent USB drives. It is easy to
get rid of in Rufus, by overwriting syslinux.cfg, but I have not been
able to disable it in mkusb.

So is there still a bug with 20.04 as you suggest? If the bug was only
squashed with 19.10 are you going to give up on persistence for Rufus
and just wait for the bug to get fixed? Perhaps another five years.
Seems better to me to work with what we have rather that wait for a
perfect world.

2020-04-15 Thread C.S.Cameron
Making a Grub2 booter that uses Persistent partitions is not a problem.
Start with a 1MB grub2 core.img partition flagged bios_grub. Add a 250MB
FAT32 EFI partition flagged boot,esp. next add an ext4 partition large
enough for the Ubuntu ISO's contents and finish with a ext4 casper-rw
partition and a NTFS data partition if desired. Copy the ISO's contents
to the root partition and recopy boot and EFI folders to to the EFI
partition. Mount the EFI partition to mnt and Install grub. Add set
root=(hd0,3) to grub.cfg. Add " persistent" after ---. I think Grub2
does not like a FAT32 root. I believe the above works on all versions of
Ubuntu since 12.04. Bootloading is based on mkusb by Sudodus.

The persistent file/partition names casper-rw and home-rw should be retained.
However home-rw partitions still work when the other persistent file/partition 
is named writable.
It is nice having the option for a home-rw file/partition. It is 
interchangeable with /home partition in a Full install and can be copied back 
and forth, if having duplicate homes in the desktop and Persistent thumb drive 
is desired..

@Akeo Not sure renaming the persistent partitions to persistent works.
There are two kinds of persistent file or partition in Ubuntu. casper-rw
is the catch all and takes new programs, data and settings, when there
is no home-rw persistent partition. When there is a home-rw partition,
home-rw takes the user data and settings like /home does in a full
install.

I agree with Sudodus, when I started using Ubuntu the persistent partition was 
labeled casper-cow.
I have finally gotten used to casper-rw.
Why change it to writable, It seems to be identical to casper-rw and works the 
same way with home-rw.
Are we going to change the name of home-rw to settingable?
If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

have persistent partition labeled writable. Home stuff and installed

Create an additional partition labeled home-rw, home stuff went there
while downloaded programs went to writable similar to having casper-rw +

Made a persistent Focal drive using mkusb.
Relabeled the "casper-rw" partition to "writable".
Persistence did not work.

The writable label only seems to work for persistence with Live USB.

-partition-instead-of-overwriting-the-entire-usb/1080749#1080749

When setting up mkusb select "usb-pack-efi" per post #18 above. It
should insure the use of grub 2.02.

Sudodus fix worked for me.
See posts 17 to 21 for workaround.
If you want instructions turning mkusb into an ISO booter let me know.

2019-11-18 Thread C.S.Cameron
@sudodus:

Made a persistent 4GB flash drive using mkusb menu item usb-pack-efi with
19.10.
Used this drive to make a second 4GB flash drive using mkusb menu item
usb-pack-efi with 19.10.
(Just to make sure grub 2.02 had no way to sneak in).
Deleted ISO9660 partiton #4, stretched Casper-rw partition #5 into place
and expanded usbdata NTFS partition #1.
Dropped 19.10 ISO into iso folder on NTFS partition.
Updated grub.cfg on usbboot partition #2 to loopmount the 19.10 ISO.
Booted in BIOS using grub 2.04
Booted in UEFI using grub 2.02~Beta2

This solution works for me. I am impressed.

Is there way to retro fit this to a working system so sundar-ima can use it
to boot ISOs from his internal dive? I wonder how Qemu is doing with this
bug?
Mkusb would work fine for setting up a small SSD, as either Full or
Persistent install for booting ISOs, but my SSD booting option seems to be
missing?

@sudodus, I tried a fresh install or two yesterday, I ran sudo apt-get install 
usb-pack-efi(# for persistent live drives that work in UEFI and BIOS mode 
with 32-bit iso files). when installing.
Is that enough? 

Will try again today.

2019-11-17 Thread C.S.Cameron
Oops, After a little more experimenting, it appears that it is the version of 
Ubuntu that mkusb uses to create the persistent drive that determines the 
version of grub, not the version of Ubuntu mkusb is installed in. I guess that 
this should have been obvious. 
I created an ISO booter foundation using mkusb installed in 18.04 using a 19.10 
ISO. I added both 18.04 and 19.10 ISOs to the ISO folder on the usbdata NTFS 
partition. Both had problems booting in UEFI as mentioned above, they uses grub 
2.04
I then created another ISO booter foundation using mkusb installed in 19.10 
using a 18.04 ISO. I added both 18.04 and 19.10 ISOs to the ISO folder. Both 
booted fine in UEFI mode, they used grub 2.02.
I will try duplicate my findings tomorrow.

To clarify, if I install mkusb in 18.04 the USBs it makes boot with grub 2.02.
If I install mkusb in 19.10 the USBs it makes boot with grub 2.04.
Grub 2.02 boots ISOs, grub 2.04 does not boot ISOs.

But only when mkusb is installed in Ubuntu 19.10 or later, ie grub 2.04 the 
ISOs don't boot.
When mkusb is installed in 18.04, grub 2.02, the ISOs on the USBs it makes boot

2019-11-16 Thread C.S.Cameron
Workaround
I used mkusb installed in 18.04, (grub 2.02), to make the foundation of an ISO 
booter.
ISO's in an ISO folder on usbdata partition, with casper-rw partition for 
persistence, (one distro only).
Usbboot partition has loop mounting grub.cfg.
Boots 18.04 and 19.10, both UEFI and BIOS, (I got a new power brick for my UEFI 
computer).

UEFI boot fails using mkusb installed in 19.10, (grub 2.04). whether
18.04 or 19.10.

I think the problem is grub 2.04 myself.

One reason I did not have problems booting a 19.10 ISO was because I
used mkusb installed in 18.04 to create the foundation for the boot
disk. This used grub 2.02 to boot 19.10.

[Bug 1851123] Re: Ubuntu 19.10 and focal live cloned create and mount casper-rw partition

2019-11-09 Thread C.S.Cameron
Been chatting with Sudodus.
Back in the days of 4GB and 8GB flash drives it was not so bad when SDC, mkusb 
and Rufus used the whole drive to make a Live USB.
Nowadays with 64GB and larger flash drives it seems like a waste.
Making the remaining space Persistent is a great start but even on my desktop, 
my /home partition is only about 30GB.
Any chance using some of this excess persistence space as NTFS so the drive 
could be used for data both by Windows and Linux?
Sorta like mkusb does with Persistent drives.

Re: [Bug 1851123] Re: Ubuntu 19.10 and focal live cloned create and mount casper-rw partition

2019-11-09 Thread C.S.Cameron
I tried booting a Startup Disk Creator 19.10 flashdrive with F6.
I typed a space and then "persistent".
The drive booted persistent and stayed persistent every time I used this
procedure, otherwise it just booted Live.
I then tried F6 with the word "toram", it booted to RAM.
Then with "nomodeset" and combinations of these and they all worked.
Finally I tried F6 and "nopersistent".
I was able to unmount the casper-rw partition using Disks.
I tried formatting it FAT and NTFS but that did not work.
Finally I was able to wipe the partition using Disks and it just went back
to ISO9660 space.
I lost everything that was in casper-rw, but it was all in the name of
research.

Re: [Bug 287228] Re: installer does not see second flash drive if plugged in after boot

2008-11-25 Thread C.S.Cameron
This is quite old. I recall that, (after fixing the formatting on my 8G
Kingston), everything  worked fine.
Have been using an U-C install for the last month as my main O/S.
The only thing that I find missing is a method to boot my dual monitor
Nvidia desktop then switch to ATI drivers for my ATI laptop.
(I think switchconf is crippled in 8.10 anyway).

 Using latest usb-creator and 8.10 Daily I installed full Ubuntu to second
 flash drive.
 Installer did not see second flash drive when plugged in after system has
 booted.
 It sees the second flash drive ok if it is plugged in at the first menu,
 (Language).
 It installs to second drive fine.

*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 276822 ***
https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/276822

I have had similar problems installing to a 8 GB Kingston Traveller.
Usb-creator would not install to it out of the wrapper.
Nor after reformatting to fat 32 in gparted and Windows or after letting U-C
format from unallocated space.
What worked was using UNetbootin to install 8.10, deleting the files, then
using U-C.
I created a couple ext3 partitions and labeled them casper-rw and home-rw.
It's been my primary Ubuntu machine for almost a month.

Even works if caser-rw and home-rw are partitions on a separate flash drive.
Seems to default to them first.

 Installed usb-creator a few days ago.
 installing 8.04 ubuntu and xubuntu both got busybox.
 installing 8.10 alpha 6 got persistence drive, but could not install 8.10
 to other drive.
 installing 8.10 Beta worked well as persistence, used Live USB to install
 to other drive.
 This morning tried drive and got grub with blinking curser.
 Tried on second computer and got error also.
 Reinstalled usb-creator into both 8.04 and 8.10 beta systems.
 Tried several times building persistent drives using these using both iso
 and CD.
 Got same errors at boot.
 Installed 8.10 once more as non persistent, this is now working.

[Bug 287684] [NEW] U-C installs from Live CD but not from Live USB

2008-10-22 Thread C.S.Cameron
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: usb-creator

Using the Live CD I can install directly to USB using usb-creator.
Using the Live USB thus created, usb-creator requires the Live CD or an iso.
It does not seem to recognize the USB as a source for the install.
This is using the Daily for 081021.

Rebuilt Flash using latest usb-creator and daily-live.
Persistence seems to be working fine.
Changed desktop background sticks as does network connection and install of
AbiWord.
Flash drive does not constantly blink as with persistent install of liveusb.
Install stopped working after trying to start synaptic.
Had a warning about root permissions.
Will try again and report back.

 installing 8.10 alpha 6 got persistence drive, but could not install 8.10

 installing 8.10 Beta worked well as persistence, used Live USB to install

 This morning tried drive and got grub with blinking curser.
 Tried on second computer and got error also.
 Reinstalled usb-creator into both 8.04 and 8.10 beta systems.
 Tried several times building persistent drives using these using both iso

 Got same errors at boot.
 Installed 8.10 once more as non persistent, this is now working.

 Installer directed root to the persistent flash in menu.lst and not the

[Bug 287228] [NEW] installer does not see second flash drive if plugged in after boot

2008-10-21 Thread C.S.Cameron
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: usb-creator

Using latest usb-creator and 8.10 Daily I installed full Ubuntu to second flash 
drive.
Installer did not see second flash drive when plugged in after system has 
booted.
It sees the second flash drive ok if it is plugged in at the first menu, 
(Language).
It installs to second drive fine.

I think my problem was trying to install wine with only 128M persistent.
With larger casper-rw wine installs ok, and the system still boots.

2008-10-14 Thread C.S.Cameron
Booting from 8.10 Beta and using usb-creator to make 8.04.1 start up disk
again get BusyBox, (initramfs).
Scrolling was too fast to see much during debug, however the last line
before BusyBox was:

(  57.847326) EXT3-fs: Unrecognized mount option mode=755 or missing
value.

I recall removing mode=755 from scripts/casper allows a flash drive created
using liveusb to boot in persistence mode.

[Bug 280515] [NEW] Flash drive boot - menu.lst errors

2008-10-08 Thread C.S.Cameron
Public bug reported:

I have installed Xubuntu Beta on flash drive, full install, not CD image.
Booting gave error message, no such drive.
Menu.lst had root listed as (1,2).
After changing root to (0,2) the drive boots.
During updates I am asked to modify menu.lst. 
If I say yes, it is changed back to (1,2).
From now on I will just say no.
