If you want a 32-bit Ubuntu flavour [for Intel/AMD PCs] that will be fully supported after April 2021, there is only Ubuntu Server, that you can get directly. You can create Ubuntu Desktop from the...

I understand the different behaviour with regard to ctrl+C, but do not understand what you want, why you want your own sleep. Please explain.

At least in 18.04.x LTS sleep is an executable program (compiled, ELF can be seen at the head of the file /bin/sleep. You find some details via



man sleep


and it is possible to find its...

Please notice that cloning is the simplest method to create a USB boot drive. It means that you copy every bite from the iso file to the target drive without any modification. See this link,

Please be aware the the ext3 file system in the partition for persistence by Rufus is experimental.

Good luck :-)

xorriso-dd-target - a new tool to create USB boot drives in a safe way

scdbackup is developing a Debian tool to create USB boot drives in a safe way, 'wrap a safety belt around dd'. He hopes that...

There are tools using pattern recognition, a kind of artificial intelligence technology, that can do it. I have no link right now, but I think suitable FOSS tools can be found via the internet.

I suggest that you use mkusb

- not to clone (which is the standard method to make an installer, a live drive in order to install Ubuntu)

- but this time you want a persistent live drive.

A...

One way to do it is create an Ubuntu OEM drive (an installed system, which can be installed into a USB drive).

@sab12345,

It depends on the operating system, where you create the drive (Ubuntu, another linux distro, Windows or MacOS). Rufus is a tool for Windows, but you might be able to use the Ubuntu...

I think Etcher is a cloning tool like for example

- Ubuntu Startup Disk Creator - included in Ubuntu
- Disks - included in Ubuntu
- mkusb - can be installed (like Etcher)

This means that it...

Done :-)

Returning zero means true (or success) while 1 means false (or failure). I think you got it right.

Please notice that [ something ] is the same as test something

Test with test -s



test -s filename

If size=0, the test returns 1, otherwise if size>0 test returns 0.

You find more details about test in bash by the command

Please explain:

- Do you mean an installed system in a USB drive (installed like into an internal drive)?

- What is BTDT?

I notice the idea with 2 images :-)

I can add: There could be a...

Please post a link here, and in the bug report too, when you create a thread at Ubuntu Discourse :-)

We are discussing the behavior of live Ubuntu family systems of 19.10 and newer systems made by cloning from the iso file to a (read/write) mass storage device (typically a USB pendrive).

I have tested mkusb in a fairly new laptop with an nvme drive.

Now I have found a fairly new laptop with an nvme drive, where I can test things myself.

Please translate to English or ask in a national forum.

The size should make no difference for reliability. It is probably better to double the size to 4 TB. And get a drive with good quality. It is more expensive, but you can expect it will also last...

Please help us help you. Tell us about the computer: specify the brand name and model.

Thanks for the testing :-)

I cannot require any testing, only ask for it, and the tests you have performed were very helpful. I draw the conclusion, that mkusb is not quite ready for an nvme drive...
