Noob here. I already installed bluez and rfkill are all "no"s. running linux kernel 5.10.89-1
Edit: after looking for my dongle model it only listed support for windows is this the reason? Model and brand unknown. Just a cheap dongle. https://preview.redd.it/eahd4warzga81.png?width=1150&format=png&auto=webp&s=ad52c8a46fa9f81f04a3313d0027d95ac4db11a6
I've successfully created the Live USB and it works great.
While trying to create the persistence in Terminal in Mint, the echo "/ union" command in all the tutorials doesn't work - just get a permission denied, even running it with sudo.
Combed through the posts on here and booted into the Live and tried it there. Same problem, even with sudo.
Found another post that said to go to stackexchange and follow the guide. The one where the answer uses "folder" instead of "file". Went into the persistence folder, created persistence.conf, added / union.
EDIT: This is the one referred to in other posts. https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/306096/kali-wont-save-adding-persistence-to-kali-linux-rolling
Nope.
Saw a comment about the quotes. Added the quotes. Rebooted. Removed the quotes. Rebooted. Nope.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
EDIT: i think I might have a work around but it's not a solution. Now that I've had some sleep, I'll tackle it again. Thanks for the upvotes to keep it alive!
Just raw video playback to the device.
Current solution is WiFi and watching some local stream of the device while connected to the device’s network.
Looking for a usbmux’d solution, or for the device to appear as /dev/video1 or something
Even if that connection is still network based, latency should eclipse the wifi solution.

I believe this guy has already solved it, but an on-device jailbroken solution would be epic.

I've created a Live Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS USB disk with persistence on and have setup a local account that is password protected. I intend to use this during my travels.
Everything I need is available as a webapp and the only non web apps installed are a password manager (Enpass) and Chrome. I've logged into Chrome with my google account and have signed into all of my other accounts on it.
My question: Is there a risk of compromising my (web) accounts in the even that I loose the USB disk? My local account password is fairly strong.
Hello, I am trying to install and try NixOS for the first time. Using an old laptop for this. After the grub screen for the live USB, it just gets stuck with a blinking cursor at
Probing EDD (edd=off to disable)... ok
Some note-worthy info:
- The checksum matches for the iso I used
- Linux version of balenaetcher gave an error saying
cannot read properly 'message' of nullat the end of the burning process, Windows version ran without any errors - I using
dd if=<nixiso>.iso of=/dev/<usb>; still the same problem - Using the
cpcommand to copy files over to the USB drive also has the same problem
I was really excited to try this out but lol
For windows 10 machine, we have a user profile that is an admin that we need to extract files from but no one knows the admin credentials when prompted to actually allow the copying/transfer of said user profile.
Someone came up with the idea of creating a bootable ubuntu usb and grabbing the files that way, is this possible? I thought windows would have had some protection in place, but i guess when you have physical access, all other security measures are negated.
Thoughts?
I'm in a situation where I have wifi but no Ethernet, I need to connect to wifi even if I have to manually type some things out. Also the wifi uses WPA security so using iwd is not an option since that only supports WEP.
Also I'm using base runit iso and I have previously installed arch twice but in both of those occasions wifi worked with wifi-menu and so I'm out of options.
Hello I am interested in trying out Manjaro, so I was meaning to dual boot it with windows, but when I boot from the live usb my touchpad is not working (I choose the use proprietary drivers option). Touch pad works fine in both windows and pop os. Because of this I am hesitant to actually install the os cause if it doesnt work after the install as well that would be annoying.
Any advice?
I used Rufus to create a persistent live USB of Fedora. The problem is, my changes aren’t saving even though I have the persistent partition mounted. I used the same program to create an Ubuntu persistent live USB with no problems.
Any suggestions on how to fix this?
I'm new to Manjaro, and I have little experience with Linux.
I want to make sure that Manjaro is compatible with all of my PC's hardware, so I might need some help with navigating Manjaro and running some tests.
Hi i installed pop os on my laptop as my main os and then installed kde plasma ontop of it as my DE because im not a massive fan of gnome and i like Kde and all the customisations how would i create and exact replica of my current os with all my tweaks and kde plasma and everything so i can test it out and install it onto my desktop pc i plan on making it dual bootable between my windows os and my os on my laptop is there any way to do this or not and if so how can i do it as you might be able to tell im a noob when it comes to linux ive only been using it for about 2 days but im loving it so much that i want to get it on my main pc
I tried garuda recently and I was wondering if I can use it on USB stick as live os with persistence storage like Tails? Can someone please help me?
Hi.
I am looking to dual boot linux mint with windows 10.
I have made a live USB of Linux Mint Cinnamon 20.2. I have given the usb the highest priority in the boot order and disabled fast startup in windows.
But when I shutdown and then start up it always boots into windows but when I restart from within windows the live usb boots up.
Is there a way to fix this?
Thank You. (If there is any other information I should have provided let me know and I will do that)
... runs on any Intel/AMD x64 machine that can boot from USB, either legacy or EFI.
... fully persistent, so you can make it 512 GB large, install whatever you like, adjust config files, and it remains portable
Thanks to the community for teaching me how to do it!
TL;DR: How the hecc do I partition a persistent live USB?
Hi everyone! I'm sooo close to my dream of having a live linux environment on a usb but there's a problem I can't seem to solve. I don't know how common this problem is, so here's the whole story in excruciating detail for context: I burned a 64 bit Debian Cinnamon iso on a 16 gb USB using Rufus (on windows, my ONLY OTHER OS). On Rufus I put a 10 gb persistent partition, as I need persistence to keep some coding software and files on the live USB. After that I reset my PC and entered into Debian by selecting the first boot option. In the desktop I clicked on "Install Debian" and went through the options up until the "Partitions" category, and here's where I'm stuck. There are two partitions: sda1 (4.3 gb FAT32, with boot flag checked) and sda2 (10 gb ext3, I suppose the space for persistence?). The only option it gives me is "Manual Partition", but I have no idea what it means to manually partition a USB live drive. I read that I have to give it a "swap space", and one of them has to be the "/boot" and another the "/", but I have no idea what I'm doing at this point. Help pls and thanks for reading!
I'm using ableton 8, that's what I've always had. I guess my question is do I need a preamp, like a USB mixer with a XLR microphone to get rid of the lag/delay on the vocals.
I downloaded linux mint 20.2 official iso file and wrote it in to usb flash drive. I disabled secure boot in bios and booted from USB device.
Than I get GRUB 2.04 menu with these options:
- Start Linux Mint 20.2 Cinnamon 64-bit
- Start Linux Mint 20.2 Cinnamon 64-bit (compatibility mode)
- OEM install (for manufactures)
- Check the integrity of the medium
No matter what I choose it will result in to irresponsive black screen.
What should I do to make it boot and make functional install ?
Thank you for help
PS: Notebook is lenovo S740 with Nvidia graphics card
EDIT:
- I tried to force integrated graphics in BIOS. This did not change anything.
- The compatible mode has
nomodesetas parameter. When I choose it I get same result. - Yes I did checksum and image is matching published hash
I'm looking for a Linux Live distro that can live on USB that offers persistence. It also needs a fairly simple partition structure, or at least one I can doctor easily. I want to have at least one FAT32 partition on it. Either it's own, or one I create. I need a FAT32 partition so the drive can still function as a general purpose pen-drive.
Right now I'm using r/Tails but since Tails lands a GPT partition, I'm overlaying it with a hybrid MBR manually. It works fine and meets all my needs, but Tails is pretty locked down by design.
I was going to maybe try Linux Lite next, but I'm not sure if it offers persistence. The manual appears non-technical.
I'd prefer an Ubuntu derived distro, but I'm familiar with Arch derivatives as well, just not as comfortable.
I've used both Etcher and Rufus to make the live USB for Manjaro but neither of them made a live USB that worked on my laptop. The specs for my PC can be found here.
EDIT: So, the reason why I couldn't get it to boot was because the Toshiba BIOS doesn't work like the other "BIOS"s I have used.
Going to the "Boot" selection menu and hitting "Enter" on the drive you want to boot from doesn't work on my Toshiba. I had to select my USB drive using F5 and make it the first drive that the BIOS boots from. I now have Manjaro running.

Would like to know how to safely remove it and then go and boot into windows without having to use a recovery key
I have a large USB drive divided into two partitions the first is a Linux live USB created in gparted and the second is a large ext3 partition. Unfortunately my PC doesn't recognize the live USB file. Any ideas? I do get an error in gparted that the backup GPT table is corrupt. But the primary is ok.
I've used few other distros, but naver had this issu. Downloaded MX-21_x64 “ahs” iso, copied to USB using Rufus expecting to run it on firs time, but getting this message. How to solve? Thanks

Just like the title says I can’t boot any of those versions at all. The only one that boots at all is Budgie. And it’s not like I can copy paste error code texts because it doesn’t boot, like at all at all. Meaning black screen off of fresh boot from live USB. My specs are as follows: RTX 2070 Super, Ryzen 7 3700x, 32GBs of Corsair Vengeance RGB PRO DDR4 RAM at 3.0GHz. Fast boot and secure boot are off. This is the only distro this happens to. I’ve tried replicating on every other distro, on other USB drives, etc. it’s a shame because I want to use KDE over Budgie but I can’t, and I prefer Solus as my OS.
Scammers tricked my grandmom into infecting her PC with malware. I was going to give her a fresh Windows installation while I’m visiting, but I currently don’t have access to any other PC. I do have some live USBs with a couple Linux distros though
TL;DR
I’ve heard that certain distros running as a Live USB can safely be used on a compromised system. Is this true for all Live USBs? I’m planning on booting into one of these Live USBs to download Windows.
I’m sure it’ll be fine since I’m using a Linux distro, but I figured that this would be a good opportunity to learn about malware and security
Thanks!
I have been told that linux running on a live USB uses the swap partition of the computer the USB is attached to. But how does it work when said swap partition is not accessible? For example, my partitions are encrypted. Yet, when I boot from a live USB, it works perfectly. So, does a live linux need swap or not?
