I want to do this because I am installing on a laptop (Surface Laptop 3) whose keyboard/touchpad/touchscreen are not recognized by the installer as it is configured (it currently needs a small set of kernel patches to use normally), and which only has one USB port. I believe "toram" is used to avoid depending on the USB drive after the system boots so that the USB port can be used for an input device.
Regarding nopersistent option: my, uh, second attempt at this (first attempt used dd but the live usb launcher detected some broken file) I used rufus to create a live USB with persistent storage, but that caused a crash when I removed the USB drive. So the behavior reported happened with the third usb drive attempt, an installer with no persistent storage partition. It's not identical to the linked bug; Calamares didn't report the exit status, just gave a 3 part pseudo python traceback (something in /usr/lib/x86_64-something/calamares/.../unpackfs.py called .run on an unpack object, which tried to mount, captured the exit status and raised a SubProcessError or something because the result of the mount attempt was nonzero). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1876950 Title: Lubuntu Calamares install fails if loop0 already in use To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/calamares-settings-ubuntu/+bug/1876950/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
