This is the best video of the many I’ve watched about creating an UBUNTU jump drive with persistent storage. Ver thorough. Thanks!

Hi thanks for the help
The installation tells me to create an efi partition in order to boot correctly but you never did in the video please help and thank you

You are welcome!
I used Rufus to make my USB persistence for elementaryOS. I boot from the USB fine. It's when I get to the 3 options on elementaryOS. 1 being the demo, 2 being install / wipe, and 3 being custom install. Which do I choose, and if I choose custom install. How do I get it to install on the FAT32
very very useful, thank you!
You're welcome!
thanks habibi search so long for this method
Glad it helped
Thank you so much 😊😅
Great job
Excellent work my dear friend :)
Thank you! Cheers!
Thank you
3:43 I have seen other people use persistant partion option in RUFUS so that you dont need two USB drives for persistant installation .... can you please explain how it is different
Persistent option on a live USB will only save documents into the persistent partition. It will not change the system itself, the system is read-only. This means you cannot install programs or change system settings persistently on a live USB. A live USB is very much like a test drive on an installation DVD, read-only (except for the persistent documents).
Thanks a lot bro!!!
Always welcome
so i installed ubuntu just as shown in the video but one problem i am having is i am pulled into gnu grub whenever i restart whether i have the usb plugged in or not to boot properly i have to press f12 a bunch of times and select ubuntu or windows are installed to boot properly
Very good.
Cool thanks
what if you want to install it to your C drive in its own partition and keep windows so you can dual boot from the internal and boot both OS's from the internal HDD?
also what is the differnce between trial and persistence/installed
if you install something in trial and then reboot does it stay or are all changed gone after a reboot
I have used it in trial but never checked if it saves changes on reboot yet
hard drive crashed because of dual boot
i just love ur voice and vids .. love from india
😊
Bro i dont know what i did wrong but when i remove the installer and boot using the target usb it says please reboot with a proper device some thing like that
Can I use a live DVD as a source instead of USB key? Live DVD was created with CDBurnerXP from iso file "ubuntu-20.04.2.0-desktop-amd64"
Thank you
Yes
I followed the instructions but it doesnt conclude keeps loading forever
Best of the best
Dear Sir, thank you very much for your tutorial.
I need a little assistance, please. I've followed all the steps of your video. After the installation was complete, I was able to launch Ubuntu. Then I launched Windows.
But then, when I try to launch Ubuntu again, it does not work. (I get a black screen with a lot of lines, and the last line says "(initramfs) with the possibility to enter commands)
My boot option are #1 Ubuntu and #2 Windows Boot Manager.
You should select the USB when you want to launch Ubuntu
Thank you sir for your video.I really appreciated it but do you have video with kali linux installation?
Here's my playlist on everything Kali: ruclips.net/p/PL3qGVpWh7QbOWC29SAjf4R5jB3wm5dpGg
Can I not do this on a Mac?
So i need 2 flashdrive ?
This sort of error shows and the installation process gets hold forever:
Server returned error NXDOMAIN.
Excellent
Thank you so much 😀
And then you can switch to windows?
When I pull out my USB stick, the machine does not boot, where is my mistake?
I have a little problem when I want boot Ubuntu it won't show me this screen 5.35
Is there a security settings area in Ubuntu where one can change when the password is required? I must enter my password every few minutes as I am setting up and installing apps. Thanks much for this video. Well done and worked perfectly!
This is found in the password setting after installation. You can also set this during installation when you’re setting the password. If I remember correctly, it’s a box you need to uncheck called “require password to login” something in that line.
can i set up kali linux on a usb flash drive with persistence in same mathod
Kali is much simpler to do, follow this: ruclips.net/video/Jjx-sra85RE/видео.html
It tells me no bootable device when i press enter
Does it matter if its usb 2.0 or 3.0? Makes a difference?
3.0 is much faster
Hey my pendrive is not showing during partition
What to do?
The drive is mounted you have to unmount it.
and how to back to windows 10 now?
use Ubuntu start up disc seems better.
My device never appears on the "Device for boot loader installations" so I can never install the Ubuntu directly to the drive... not sure what I'm doing wrong
Do I need 2 USB sticks? 1 with the installer and then a target to install to?
Yes, it is clearly indicated in the video. It is really easy, just watch the video without skipping
@@KnowledgeSharingTech may be clear to you because you understand what you’re doing. I thought I could install it to the same stick. But anyways, thanks, I guess
it installing it to a hard drive so do i need 2 usb drives?
Yes, it's clearly mentioned in the requirements at 00:10
Man, I followed the same steps. I selected my target usb drive for bootloader and still it shows in my SSD during boot menu.. can you tell what might be wrong.
Same
same happened to me the installer ignored my selection and now i have it on my ssd
On my ASUS (UX360) is F2 to get to the bios menu. But this method is taking hours to install.
Use a fast USB key on a USB 3.0 port
Can we use an SD card as a target too, please?
Yes, you can put it in a USB adapter
@@KnowledgeSharingTech Thank you very much.
How much time it takes?
Depends on the speed of the USB key and the USB port
But bootloader is installed on Hdd not on usb
Bootloader is installed on the device you choose. I chose the USB key. Look at 8:40
pls help, i get a zip file instead of a iso, and idk what to do with it. help ppppppplllllllssssss
When you unzip it does it contain an ISO?
💪
It will inatall GRUB on your main HDD and you cant use USB with Ubuntu on other computer
No, GRUB will be installed on the device you choose. Look at 8:40
@@KnowledgeSharingTech
I already done all the steps like you, grub was installed on my SSD insted of flash drive...
@@StefanArandjelovic In my case, I have Windows pre-installed, following the steps and selecting the right USB key. But the boot loader was installed on the hard drive. Then I decided to wipe that Windows out, leaving out a clean machine. Finally, it worked. I guess it’s a Ubuntu bug, it always put the boot loader in the drive where windows locate.
8:01
