Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: usb-creator
I created a LiveUSB disk on, in my case, an 8GB usb disk and slided the
"When Starting up from this disk, documents and settings will be: Stored
in reserved extra space"-option all the way to the right (according to
the tool, this would give me a solid 6.8 GB of free room to use within
the LiveUSB disk). I put the Intrepid Beta on it (because the daily
build of October 14th failed to boot, I tried it). Afterwards, I booted
up the LiveUSB disk, this part went fine. But when looking at the free
disk space in nautilus, it always gives me at most just shy of 1GB. This
is roughly (or maybe even exactly) the same amount that nautilus shows
when booting from an actual LiveCD (at least, as far as I've been able
to see).
The problems with this are:
1. that I basically can't update since when I try it, I get "no disk space
left" errors from synaptic/aptitude/apt-get/whatever
2. somehow the LiveUSB installation claimed the extra disk space, but is
incapable of using it; Therefore, I'm effectively losing space on my usb drive.
This is an annoying bug as I can't install a daily build (at least not
the one from October 14th, as mentioned before) of Intrepid, and I can't
update the beta. Therefore, I'm hampered in my attempts to test Intrepid
(installing the preproduction versions on my hdd is not an option).
All this said, I know it is a very young project, and it has great
potential; I just think that this is a useful bug to get fixed before
the rc of intrepid.
