Issues with LiveUSB related to persistant mode

[Michal Dziczkowski]

After downloading the Ubuntu 20.10 ISO, burning it out on a USB stick and testing it(savings weren't saved) some time ago, I had decided to modify it and add "persistant" (as described in Ubuntu domumentation) to it to store the settings. After I did that, following problems started to occur with the system:

1. Ubuntu started to work much slower then before adding "persistant"
2. after the computer was turned off (with proper system shutdown) and then turned on, wifi has "vanished" (in the "Additional drivers" tab of the Software Properties it was selected to use the driver, but it seem like the Wifi interface wasn't existing anymore. I had to do following steps to restore it:

in the Software Properties in the tab "Additional drivers":

* select "don't use this device" and clicked "apply"
* had to restrart the computer

in the Software Properties in the tab "Additional drivers" (again):
* select "use the <wifi device name> (...)" and click apply

after that I could close the Software properties with wifi restored

Persistent storage is not the intended purpose of Ubuntu installation media, it's an additional use users make of it, where it has known & understood limitations. I believe you're ignoring these limitations and expecting it to perform as an installed system. where it's not.

you are wrong here. I'm not ignoring it's limitations. I'm just got suprised that Ubuntu has loosen the Wifi interface without any warning while restart (even if Software Properties shows that Ubuntu should use the driver, with was working before the shutdown)

Unfortunatelly, I'm unable to execute this command. Changing status to "confirmed"
