Thanks for sharing your solution :-)

I think Ubuntu Desktop 23.10 is using the new installer that is not acting like Ubiquity, but 24.04 LTS is released now, and will get much more attention concerning debugging and polishing. I would...

Yes, particularly when there are graphics chips/cards that need different drivers and one of them needs a proprietary driver, and if they boot in different modes (UEFI mode or BIOS mode alias CSM...

@oygle,

When booted into the computers from the live Kubuntu USB drive, you can run the following command in order to find the boot mode,



test -d /sys/firmware/efi && echo efi || echo bios...

@oygle,

The best way is to use 2 USB drives,

1. A USB pendrive, and you use mkusb to put a live Kubuntu system there.

2. The target USB-SSD, and you can use gparted to format it. You need...

@oygle,

If 'format' means create a partition and a suitable file system for Kubuntu, I'd say no, not mkusb.

I would use gparted for that task, and create a partition with an ext4 file system....

I agree with dragonfly41: try with a persistent live system. You can use mkusb to make persistent live systems with all current versions of Ubuntu Desktop and Ubuntu community flavours (Kubuntu,...

@1fallen,

mkusb and its components do not use --options, only the simple ones, like -v and -h.

Do you think that I should add --version and --help?




$ mkusb -v

The following alternative makes it easy to install Ubuntu to an external drive, but you cannot get an excrypted system that way. And the whole drive will be used (existing file systems on the target...

@blahboybaz,

I would like to add one more thing to consider about how attitude plays a part in interactions. I am not a native English speaker, and for that reason may use the wrong word or...

@VMC,

Now I understand what you meant (where I supported ajgreenys response). Sorry for the misunderstanding.

I agree that we should avoid telling our opinion directly or asking 'why do that?'...

@Gatorade,

If you run your computer in UEFI mode with secure boot, and the computer and/or your UEFI/BIOS system is rather new, you may have problems with persistence by mkusb via...

Multiboot USB drive

It can be a good idea to have a Ventoy multiboot USB drive to run live sessions and installers. But I would not use it for persistent live systems, because you may run into...

@este.el.paz,

After installing mkusb


sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mkusb/unstable
sudo apt install mkusb

the following grep command should show something like

@este.el.paz,

There is am PPA set for mkusb in Noble. It worked when I tested it. Please let me know if there is any problem.

I know that dus-persistent has problems with secure boot in some...

Isn't that what we are here for? To weed through all the weird stuff? LOL

Even if something turns out to be "normal", at least we (hopefully) won't be surprised if it comes up later, asked by a...

Next I tested the current Xubuntu Noble iso file to a USB connected SSD and booted into my old Dell Precision M4800 (with generation 4 Intel i7 and nvidia graphics.

- In BIOS mode it also tries to...

@Irihapeti,

Maybe the old computers that you and I are testing have non-standard features in the UEFI-BIOS systems, that cause the different behaviour. Anyway, the Clonezilla drive has an MSDOS...

I cloned the current Xubuntu Noble iso file to a USB connected SSD and booted into my old Toshiba Satellite Pro C850-19W.
