So I tried to reproduce this in a VM and failed. This is what I did: $ cd ~/isos/ $ zsync http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-server/daily-live/pending/focal-live-server-amd64.iso.zsync [...] $ cd ~/images/ $ truncate -s 1G casper-rw.img $ truncate -s 1G root.img $ parted --script --align optimal casper-rw.img -- mklabel gpt mkpart primary ext4 2MiB -2048s $ sudo losetup --show -Pf casper-rw.img /dev/loop39 $ sudo mkfs.ext4 -L casper-rw /dev/loop39p1 mke2fs 1.45.5 (07-Jan-2020) ... $ sudo losetup -d /dev/loop39 $ kvm -m 1024 -boot d -cdrom ~/isos/focal-live-server-amd64.iso -hda ~/images/casper-rw.img -hdb ~/images/root.img [boot image until installer starts] $ sudo losetup --show -Pf casper-rw.img /dev/loop39 $ ls /mnt install-logs-2020-03-02.0 lost+found
This shows that the casper-rw filesystem was mounted as expected. Can someone provide very very detailed instructions on what they did that did not work? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1863672 Title: The 'new' persistent live method starting in 19.10 no longer works To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/casper/+bug/1863672/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
