Live USB error vmlinuz ( Solved!)

[BitJam]

While I think it is a good idea to leave the default entry when we add a custom entry, I also think it is a good idea to delete the custom entry when F8 --> reset is used so people get back to where they started. I've added this to the code and it should be introduced in antiX-19 (or sooner). Thank you for the suggestion!

I think there was an update last night to live-usb ? The new version is very slow. What used to take about 2 minutes , is now taking 30 minutes !

small suggestion on bot screen persistence options:
1. home-static, root-None ("currently "home")
2. home-static, root-Dynamic ( currently "all")
3. home-static, root-static (currently "static")
4. home-None, root-Dynamic (currently "root")

What is now taking 30 mins? live-usb-maker?

If you didn't change the compression type that might be a sign of problems with the USB flashdrive.

yes the live-usb. pretty much the same size snapshot, same machine ( w520). same usb stick. took 2 minutes ( maybe less) last night. Took 32 minutes just now. I thought the update manger showed a live-usb update last night that I installed - but I may be mistaken

I am going to try my samsung usb stick which is faster - to see if its a usb stick issue.

I just mad a live usb using live-usb-maker (cli) on antiX-17 (fully dist-upgraded).

Code: Select all

>> done

live-usb-maker took 3 minutes and 59 seconds.

OK- it was the that sandisk usb that was the culprit! With the Samsung-bar - it was very fast.

Oh - my snapshot is 7 GB - and with the samsung the live-usb completed in 6 minutes . Pretty impressive.
