Improvement in version 12.6.5
- dus-persistent: Auto-setting to use usb-pack_efi for Ubuntu 20.10 'Groovy'
- mkusb-plug:
. Again using the automatic creation of the ext4 partition to be used for persistence.
. Exiting from the alternative to create a usbdata partition for Ubuntu Ubuntu 20.10 'Groovy' because it does not work. Suggesting to use mkusb-dus instead for this purpose.
Improvement in version 12.6.6
- mkusb-plug: Because of the GPT in Groovy iso files, it was necessary to fix the backup partition table at the tail end of the drive. The functins gpt_fix, gpt_zap were ported from dus-live to mkusb-sedd and upgraded in order to make it possible to create a partition behind the cloned partitions. (Excluding the action to create data partition for version 20.10 was reverted, it is possible again.) This fix works in most computers, but there are some old HP computers, that fail to boot when mkusb-plug has created a data partition for version 20.10 and Hirsuit Hippo.
- dus-live: gpt_fix upgraded to match improvement necessary in mkusb-sedd.
Unstable: You get/update this new version of mkusb from the unstable PPA via the following commands
Code:
sudo add-apt-repository universe # this line only for standard Ubuntu
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mkusb/unstable
sudo apt update
sudo apt install mkusb # to install
# sudo apt full-upgrade # upgrade to current version (with all other upgrades), only for installed systems
sudo apt install mkusb guidus dus mkusb-common # to upgrade all mkusb basic components including dus
sudo apt install usb-pack-efi # for persistent live drives that work in UEFI and BIOS mode with 32-bit iso files
You get only the version dus (alone or with guidus) via one of the following commands (if you don't care about mkusb-11, mkusb-nox, mkusb-bas)
Code:
sudo apt install dus
sudo apt install guidus
You get only the version mkusb-plug via [the update command and] the following command,
Code:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install mkusb-plug
Alternative way to get mkusb: There are tarballs at
- help.ubuntu.com/community/mkusb/gui/tarball with only dus and guidus (mkusb version 12),
- help.ubuntu.com/community/mkusb/plug with only mkusb-plug.
Stable: mkusb version 12.6.6 is in the stable PPA. The policy is to test mkusb for a long time and in several environments before it is uploaded to the stable PPA (unless there are minor tweaks or bug-fixes).
You get/update this version via the following commands
Code:
sudo add-apt-repository universe # this line only for standard Ubuntu
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mkusb/ppa
sudo apt update
sudo apt install mkusb # to install
# sudo apt full-upgrade # upgrade to current version (with all other upgrades), only for installed systems
sudo apt install usb-pack-efi # for persistent live drives that work in UEFI and BIOS mode with 32-bit iso files
You get only the version dus (alone or with guidus) via one of the following commands (if you don't care about mkusb-11, mkusb-nox, mkusb-bas)
Code:
sudo apt install dus
sudo apt install guidus
You get only the version mkusb-plug via [the update command and] the following command,
Code:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install mkusb-plug
Usually there is drive space enough to install all the following mkusb packages explicitly:
Code:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install mkusb guidus mkusb-plug usb-pack-efi
Please notice that if you have already installed mkusb-plug or dus/guidus from a tarball, you had better remove that version when you install via PPA. The advantage with the PPA version is that it gets updated/upgraded automatically along with other program packages that are installed from the Ubuntu repositories.
