Bug Description

I have a 4GB USB stick with ubuntu 9.10 preloaded on it,
I have only used it 7 times to boot off, so it has worked before as a live cd (or live usb, or whatever its called)
but now when I try to boot off the usb stick, I get a warning saying, <error, gnomurn offe can not be installed properly, & some programs won't run correctly.> then after a blank screen I get a warning about tcp/ip failed to start, and a busy mouse icon on the screen, until I have to force the laptop to turn off

Hello J.Wilson
Probably something went wrong in the usb key, you can try download a new karmic or lucid or maverick image at
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com
and use startup disk creator to have a new live usb pen with persistence of the settings and works done in live session.
I close this report
Thanks
Fabio
