I tested with the current casper-initrd with a current Lubuntu Focal persistent live system, and it works with a 'casper-rw' partition also in the computers where it did not work before as described in post #25:
1. a Toshiba laptop with an Intel i5 generaton 3 CPU (in BIOS mode and UEFI mode) http://www.toshiba.se/laptops/satellite-pro/c850/satellite-pro-c850-19w/ This Toshiba laptop has been my main testing computer for several years. 2. a Dell laptop with an Intel i5 generation 4 CPU (in BIOS mode and UEFI mode) https://www.cnet.com/products/dell-latitude-e7240-12-5-core-i5-4310u-8 -gb-ram-128-gb-ssd-english/specs/ 3. A Lenovo laptop with an Intel i3 generation 2 CPU (tested only in UEFI mode) https://shop.lenovo.com/ISS_Static/ww/wci/products/us/laptop/thinkpad/x-series /x131e-intel/X131e-Datasheet-Intel.pdf -o- @Michael Hudson-Doyle, Do you want me to attach debug files from one of these computers? -o- I noticed that when there was unallocated drive space, the system did not pick the existing 'casper-rw' partition, but created a 'writable' partition in the unallocated drive space and used that partition. So this is a step forward, but provides no guarantee that it will work in other computers. I think the time until release is too short for extensive testing, so I still want this 'writable' business to be reverted. Please revert back to 'casper-rw' as the one and only name of the file and label of the partition for persistence in Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. -- 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
