I'm in the process of creating two USB drives.
Unetbootin ubuntu persistent full#
Those instructions were only for creating a Live USB, not a full install. What am I doing wrong? Are these not good instructions?. When I went into Mint from the top line, all my changes were gone. However, when I rebooted, it came back to the Grub menu, like the Live USB. When I selected yes.then it looked like the regular Chrome icon. When I went to open it, I was asked if I trusted it. When Mint came up, it seemed different, like it may keep my settings, because when I installed Chrome browser and went to copy a shortcut to the desktop, the icon looked different. I rebooted, and already had my USB set to boot UEFI.

one item at a time using the Software Manager or Synaptic Package Manager, 4) reboot the PC after any updating or installing new software, 5) manage the buildup of useless persistence-clogging files with Bleachbit - the 64bit Mint tends to collect about 700mb of useless junk every week or so (I know there are hair-on-fire Bleachbit haters, I've used it for half a decade no problems, but requires basic knowledge.)
Unetbootin ubuntu persistent update#
My basic approach to keeping Persistent Live USB installs from borking is as follows: 1) No system updates or use of the Update Manager - Mint's point releases are fantastic for a regular installation, but too complicated for Live USB, 2) No updates of large software installs like LibreOffice, 3) If wanted, update small system patches, browsers, image editors, etc. That solves some of the Adobe Flash dodginess of both Firefox and Chromium, with their separate Flash packages.

A second 64bit advantage is ability to install and run 64bit versions of popular software, including official Google Chrome. I'm writing this from a 16gb thumb drive, created in Windows, formatted NTFS using the Pendrive software - it is 64bit Mint 18.2 Cinnamon with over 6gb of persistence and could have been more. If the thumb drive is formatted NTFS the 64bit Mint will permit more than 4gb of Persistence. I recently learned by testing that an Acer netbook and Dell laptop running 32bit Windows can install, boot and run 64bit Mint perfectly well.
From Windows I use the Pendrive installer, but have created good persistent thumb drives with Unetbootin within Ubuntu/Mint. (I've tried "full install" on a large USB and it didn't work for me, so above my pay grade.) My wisdom is: There are precautions to keep them going but they seem to go wonky after a couple of months. Creating a persistent drive doesn't have this issue.Īs often happens, comments from different experience sets and preferences.įWIW, I've been running garden variety Persistent Live USB installs since Ubuntu 10.04, and settled on Mint with 17.x, I use the drives for a month or two as pre-tests for new Mint versions, deciding whether and what to dual boot with Windows. There are ways to avoid this but, as mentioned, they're tricky. Doing so will mess up your Windows system. If you do full install to a USB drive, it's vitally important you not use the regular installer (the one on the live session desktop) in UEFI. Only worth pursuing if you plan to use the USB long term as your Mint system. You can do full install to a USB drive but it's a bit tricky and requires a completely different set of instructions. Neither that sort of USB nor the persistent drive you asked about originally (the sort which will let you save settings, etc.) is a full install. The Lifewire article you link is only intended to create a USB which boots a live session. What am I doing wrong? Are these not good instructions?ġ.
