Because most inexpensive modern USB drives will be able to handle that amount of space without problems, I believe changing the default upgrade method would be a drawback.
For example a Kingston 32GB USB 3.0 drive costs as little as 8€, and a Sandisk 8GB USB 2.0 drive costs 3€. The official Ubuntu USB drive has 32GB and costs 6£. Upgrading automatically is a better default for at least 95% of situations, and the person could still easily realise that they should disable automatic upgrades when having a small vintage USB drive. Moreover the Startup Disk Creator no longer has persistence, so the likelihood of a novel user making that mistake is minimum. For the moment I will consider this report as an opinion, but feel free to bring the conversation to the Quality mailing list at (https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-testing). Thanks for your always welcomed help and understanding. ** Changed in: casper (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Opinion ** Changed in: casper (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Wishlist -- 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
