On running a persistence session...

2012-08-10 Thread John Kim
Hello QA team. I've been able to do a live test successfully but not a live persistence session. Therefore, I found some guidance from this wiki pagehttps://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCD/Persistence . But I'm confused with the necessity of a loopback file. It says that the loopback file must

Hi, there is another alternative over persistance. That is to actually install ubuntu onto the usb-stick. I think Ali's link is the most up to date[1], simply replace the iso you wish with the Lubuntu one he states. Have a read of it, it is a good discussion on that alternative. Regards, Phill.

What is the significance of the command sudo apt-get upgrade on Ubuntu 12.10 alpha 3? Is it different from running the daily build with zsync? I'm guessing it updates the system as up-to-date as the daily build. -- John Kim Ubuntu enthusiast l http://epikvision.blogspot.comookjohn.com --

I succeeded with the Mac live session testcase. Thanks Nicholas for the help! As I moved onto the auto-testing one, I encountered a dilemma. Ubiquity is missing an option to Install Ubuntu 12.10 alongside Mac. Do you guys consider this a bug? If so, should I report it? Do I keep moving on
