Live session failed to start from USB with persistence enabled

[Scott Kitterman]

I ran ubuntu-bug from the installed system to collect system information, so disregard anything about the install process it collected.

This is i386 Kubuntu live, the most current (14.1) image. See the attached screen shot for the error.

Not sure if it could be relevant or not, but it just occurred to me that I made this USB image with persistence enabled and I didn't do that with the last image that worked.

[Stéphane Graber (stgraber)]

I can't reproduce the issue without persistence and I can't get a USB key created with persistence because usb-creator crashes...

[Scott Kitterman (kitterman)]

Ok. I'll try one without persistence later today.

[Scott Kitterman (kitterman)]

Boots fine if the image is not persistent

[Scott Kitterman (kitterman)]

This is probably worth a release note.

[Stefan Bader (smb)]

Tried to reproduce today on several systems (16.1 image) and could not see the issue.

[Colin Ian King (colin-king)]

Tried to reproduce today and cannot reproduce the issue (i386, amd64) on various systems.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Mathew Hodson (mhodson)]

This is in the release notes for saucy. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SaucySalamander/ReleaseNotes#Kubuntu-1

[Rolf Leggewie (r0lf)]

saucy has seen the end of its life and is no longer receiving any updates. Marking the saucy task for this ticket as "Won't Fix".

[Mathew Hodson (mhodson)]

Scott, is this still an issue in current releases?
