Public bug reported: Binary package hint: casper
I'm trying to boot from a usb flash drive without starting X. The manpage (http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/karmic/en/man7/casper.7.html) says that there is a parameter called 'textonly' - but when I add this parameter to the standard boot options list proposed when using the "Try Ubuntu without any change to your computer" -> F6 (other options) -> ESC, it boots into the graphical mode. The original boot options list (hopefully without typos): noprompt cdrom-detect/try-usb=true persisent file=/cdrom/preseed/ubuntu.seed boot=casper initrd=/casper/initrd.lz quiet splash -- My edited list: noprompt cdrom-detect/try-usb=true persisent file=/cdrom/preseed/ubuntu.seed boot=casper initrd=/casper/initrd.lz quiet splash -- textonly On the other hand, if I use the paramater `text` instead of `textonly`, which doesn't seem to be documented anywhere, it seems to work. So is this just an error in the documentation (textonly = text) or does `text` something completely different I'm not aware of and `textonly` is defect? -------- $ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 9.10 Release: 9.10 ----- Versions-Tabelle: 1.206 0 ** Affects: casper (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- textonly parameter has no effect when booting from usb-stick https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/504103 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
