I'm trying to make a Ubuntu live USB, but I have run into some problems:   Used LiveUSB install on my Lubuntu laptop. Breaks USB drive until reformatted, does not boot. Used Startup Disk Creator on Lubuntu. Makes bootable drive, but not persistant storage Used UNetBootin on Lubuntu, puts Ubuntu on USB stick but does not make it bootable Tried to use Universal USB Installer with WINE, but it didn't work. The first time it could only see the floppy disk drive not the USB, the next time it threw an NSIS error. Tried to use Universal USB Installer on Windows, but it needed admin permissions   I have a laptop with Lubuntu installed* (that I have the sudo password for), a Windows 8 desktop without administrator permissions and a 32GB sandisk USB stick. Is there anything else I can do to get it to work?  *IBM T-42 Thinkpad with 1GB ram and an intel Centrio mobile processor that I had to force PAE to get Lubuntu to install if it is relevant.

Is there any software like unetbootin in Ubuntu?  I cant install or run unetbootin-494 even though I already set it to allow executing files as programs.

I want to buy a USB 3.0 pen drive. But in my pc there is only a USB 2.0 port.   Would a USB 3.0 pen drive work on my pc?

I'd like to build a version of Ubuntu that has absolutely no ability to recognize any USB device inserted. Is this possible?  There's the issue that mouses and keyboards nowadays are connected via usb, so I wonder if it's possible to recognize these but not everything else.  In the end it's a security measure, so different solutions to achieve this goal are also welcome.

I had Ubuntu 12.04 Beta installed on my computer. When 12.04 was finally released, I made a bootable USB Flash Drive using Startup Disk Creator.  Then I decided to check if this drive works properly and to reinstall the system on my desktop. I must add, my desktop behaves a bit strange when it comes to bootable USB's, it recognizes them as HDD.  In BIOS I changed priority of boot so USB Flash Drive (recognized as HDD) was first. Successfully booted, I installed Ubuntu. Everything worked fine, but...  Now I cannot boot from my real HDD. Every time I want to boot, I put the USB Flash Drive into my computer, boot, safely remove it and everything works.  What do I need to do to repair boot?

Having some issues installing Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS 64bit next to Windows 10.  This is what I did:  1) Created a bootable usb with ubuntu on it using Universal-USB-Installer-1.9.6.3  2) Changed the boot mode  3) Boot from USB - It showed the option to test drive or install - I chose install  4) Choose Language  5) Setup Wireless - I didn't choose anything here  6) Then it showed me the preparing to install  7) After that a message popped up saying:      Unmount partitions that are in use The installer has detected that the following discs have mounted partitions /dev/scd Do you want the   installer to try and unmount these partitions before continuing? If   you leave them mounted, you will not be able to create, delete, resize   partitions on these discs, but you may be able to install on an   existing partition there.   So obviously I said yes.  8) Installation type - I chose something else - This looked nothing like the screen shots I saw on the installation guide.    9) Then it only gave me the option to choose my bootable usb for the installation. With a bunch of options to choose, so I got scared and quit.     Can any one please help?  Keep in my mind I do not know a lot, so please dumb it down. Why can't I choose to run it along side Windows 10? Why doesn't the installation pick up my hard drives?  If you need any other info, please ask. But I think I put everything in here.

I tried to use the usb-creator.exe from Ubuntu 10.10 desktop i386 ISO image and it does create an USB stick that doesn't boot. When I try to boot from it I get:     Operating System not found.   I try to do this from Windows 7 x64. I'm not looking to create a live Ubuntu media, only an installation USB disk.  I repeated the process several times and I even tried to reformat the USB drive (FAT32), no success yet.  The USB stick is a 8GB one.

I am new to ubuntu and i would like some help. I have a laptop with windows 7 installed but i would love to have ubuntu too because it's a great OS. So i would like to install ubuntu on an external usb hard drive (320 - 500 GB) and i have some questions about that :   Do i need a usb external hard drive which will be compatible with ubuntu - linux ? or i can do it with any hard drive  If i make a partition on it for ubuntu staff will i be able to use it and save other staff in the usb hard drive (movies,songs,documents etc) ? If i have ubuntu installed on the usb hard drive will i be able to boot ubuntu from any pc ? Are my changes going to be saved normally or my settings will be lost after shut down ?   Waiting for your answers, if something is not explain well tell me to try explain it better . Thank you!

I do a lot of work with many different bootable images all on different flash drives. However, it gets annoying to search for a specific drive, plug it in, and use it. Is there a way I can consolidate all of  my tools on to one large USB drive? I should be able to select what tool.  Because some of you were bound to ask. My tools are:   Kali Linux Hiren's Boot CD Ubuntu Installer (with persistent partiton) Kon-Boot Other various little tools   I would like all of the above on one flash drive with a relatively simple way to swap between them. Is this even possible? If possible, I would like to have EFI support (preferably with a digital signature, but this is not required)

After considerable review of the options, I tried and failed to create a usable live Ubuntu USB with persistent storage using what seemed like "best practice" instructions at  I suspect I'm one step away from a full solution, but I need help.  I reviewed answers on AskUbuntu and other places before starting, including many responses by @C.S.Cameron and @sudodus. Answers for OS versions earlier than 18.04 are now of uncertain value for running 18.04 or later due to various issues. Hence I opted to follow the comprehensive and recent instructions at the URL above.   After following the instructions, I seem to have a USB drive formatted by mkusb as predicted. When I attempt to boot, the BIOS/UEFI process identifies the USB stick as a possible boot location, but when I select it for booting and proceed, I am returned to the same screen for choosing a boot location. For some reason, the USB stick is rejected as a viable boot option. I have tried the process 3-4 times using 2 iso images (18.04LTS and 19.10) and 2 USB sticks (Sandisk Extreme 64GB and Sandisk Cruzer Facet 16GB). Below are links to two screenshots of GParted analysis of the resulting USB sticks.

A few weeks ago my chromebook got crazy and its OS got corrupted for an unknown reason. I'd like to instal Ubuntu 12.04 64bit on it using a bootable USB pendrive, but since it is not the usual installation that I am used to on PCs/laptops....I am a bit stuck and dont even know where to start. I'd simply like to make a pendrive that I can make bootable for my chromebook and do the installation.

This is the third time I've tried to install Ubuntu Server 14.04.03 64-bit on the same laptop, and each time it caused different problems.  Each time I wrote the same iso image to a USB flash drive by using a different application and OS.   Universal USB Installer (pendrivelinux.com) from Windows WinImage writer from Windows built-in image writer from Linux Mint 17.2    The iso image is the same in all three cases, the USB flash drive is the same, and the laptop is the same. However each time the installation of Ubuntu gave me different installation options. For example, the last time I installed Ubuntu, it didn't show all the packages to choose while installing (Basic Ubuntu server, etc.).

I have Ubuntu 14.04 installed on my laptop. Can I clone the entire system with apps, settings, etc on a USB 3 pendrive, and then boot from that on other computers as a portable Ubuntu installation to take around with me?  I am trying a function that Timeshift has that's called "Clone the current system on another device". I've selected the pendrive as the target device. Timeshift was talking about this being bootable. But is it going to bootable on only this laptop, or on any system? For example, on an Intel Mac, or a Windows computer without the grub bootloader? Is that Timeshift function what I am looking for, or do I have to do something else?  Edit: The Timeshift clone failed to boot on the first system I tested it on. (A Dell Hackintosh that usually boots from USB just fine.)

I've tried so many combinations - all I want is a fast Ubuntu Live USB disk with persistence that works. What I've tried so far:   Using unetbootin on my Mac, choosing some "Space used to preserve files across reboots (Ubuntu only)".   Result: Doesn't boot at all.  Using unetbootin on my Mac, choosing no such space.  Result: Boots fine and very fast (doesn't even show the annoying dialog "Try ubuntu/install ubuntu" at startup!), but has no persistence. (So I have to choose my keyboard layout, install programs I need, etc. every time)  Using Startup Disk Creator from my Ubuntu 11.04 installation.  Result: I cannot choose "reserved extra space" at all. It's greyed out. I know I know, there was bug , and many people say that the workaround from  works for them. But it doesn't work with Ubuntu 11.04 anymore (see also ).  Using Startup Disk Creator from my Kubuntu 10.10 installation, gnome version (usb-creator-gtk).   Result: I can select the "reserved extra space" option, but installation doesn't work (fails when installing the bootloader).  Using Startup Disk Creator from my Kubuntu 10.10 installation, kde version (usb-creator-kde).   Result: Actually works: Reserved space can be selected, installation works. But after booting, I get the screen "Try ubuntu/install ubuntu". Clicking on "Try ubuntu" takes me to the desktop - but only after waiting 5 minutes (every time!). It also doesn't seem to keep my keyboard settings.    I know, that instead of creating a startup disk, I could install a full ubuntu system on the USB stick. But as far as I know, this isn't very good, because /tmp and similar directories will then also be on the USB disk, which is a) slow, and b) not very good for the USB disk due to frequent overwriting.  I'm frustrated. So has anybody managed to create a working Ubuntu 11.04 Live USB disk with persistence?
