2:20 thanks that ths kind of thing most videos wouldnt be bothered to explain properly.
I want to do this with Redhat so i can plug my usb in a machine and make a PXE server to install multiple difrent machines but this OS does not have a actual live version just a full install
only one gb? What if you have a big drive and want to use more of it for persistence? Possible? Or is there some limit to how big the persistence partition can be?
When you use persistence with Ubuntu, VLC media player isn't installed as default and I can't install it manually!
Related to my former comment, and prior to execute Unetbootin, under Linux you can use Gparted to create the said 2 partitions, and the said method does not impose a limit on the size of the persistence partition (Linux EXT4 file system does not have the limit of 4GB for example). Me personally, I use Kingston ver. 3.0/3.1 USB flash drives and they are really fast, most of the time I forget that I am using a USB based Linux desktop, and I am able to install software, modify configurations, etc., etc. and all is kept in the "casper-rw" partition as I described earlier...
Universal does not show all drives as it states, any advice on that?

Thanks I missed that final step when I created my bootable drive in a different installer with practically the same UI
Hey, Can anyone help me on making a live Kali Linux usb but a persistent one?
(In Windows but not using mini tool partition wizard please)
Well I do that - with Ubuntu 20.0.4 and Rufus - but... not to mention I couldn't set the polish keyboard (what is crucial to me) and what's worst the changes HAVEN'T been saved att all. What's happened?
can i use previous flash drive
Why would you not just select the whole rest of the USB for persistence?
I mean, what else would you want the rest of the USB for if not your programs on the bootable linux distro you installed on it?
Also, when making a persistent partition, is that also the one we will use for our /var and /usr directories? (And do all distros use the same /usr and /var directories?)
What about the linux swap file?
If all this was included right off the bat, with persistence, on a multi-distro USB drive, that would be the ultimate linux flash drive system!
And that has been my goal for a while now. Please help me make my dream come true!
Thank you so much, this worked flawlessly with Linux Mint!
I actually have a live mint on the harddrive 😂😂 would this work on the internal harddrive as well?
@@hawkzeye1 yes!
hi ... how to save data in bitdefender rescu-cd Live USB
I created a persistent file using Unetbootin. I cant get anything to save. I tried creating a new user and still no go.
If you are doing this on Windows then I suggest using the program "LinuxLive USB Creator" as I find it works well and it also allows for persistent. Also do yourself a favor and always make the persistent size the largest you can. Due to the FAT32 limit you can only go up to 4GB so you might as well max it out (I normally do this on 16GB sticks which have plenty of room).
Trust me when I say that you should make the persistent size as big as you can make it (which is only 4GB due to the FAT32 limit). You'll fill it up easily if you start installing a lot of programs etc.
As for creating it I like a program called "LinuxLive USB Creator" which I've used with Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 to create numerous Linux Live USB's
Lili will download the iso for you also as well as configuring it to run inside windows via VirtualBox.
Thank you! I'm in love! lol
Would you please make a tutorial for a Persistent Slackware Bootable USB ?
I´m using right now the "univesal usb installer" on windows to make a NTFS usb-live with Xubuntu 18.04 and a persistent file using the maximum size of my usb pendrive (wich is 64gb), and it´s stucked for more than an hour.
What´s wrong?
Ogat Ramastef. People keep telling me its a id.10T error
i done this recently works well, but when i make a save i can only save it to 4gb because i had to make my External HDD fat32 :/ not sure why but when its in ntfs it doesnt save, but i could make it any size i wanted hmm.. P.S i use slackware linux all the time now since my internal HDD stopped working.
THANK YOU-- I'd tried that with another video or two on here- -and couldn't get it to work... I'll download that other in a minute... MUCH APPRECIATED.
Thank you so much!
I was hoping you'd show the partitions of the usb drive, I clicked on this video cuz I wanted to check if universal usb installer doesn't do the same unallocated partition stuff that Rufus does
I dont see a slide on that program
why if ido this itdontt save in usb afther i i nsert it again
Que genial video
Thanks so much
Can't find that "1618" Kali Linux tutorial... Could anyone help :) ?
its 1408 bro
Does it work with parrot os?
Remo Crapstuff yes m8 !
i want do that with budgie remix 16.04 but no persistent
then keep the last option 'persistent file size' to zero.
This video is surreal
How to convert live usb to persistent?
Puppy Linux ftw!
Nice video but it didn't work for me at all. First, Step 3 showed no drives. Then, when I got that fixed, there was no Step 4 for persistence. I continued anyway and I had two installs going. 1-Fz that was extracting files but said it "can not open output file F:\images..." and 2-Universal USB installer that said it was still copying files even though it was already copied and frozen halfway through. It's a mess.
Linux goodness :)
Wut? It doesn't show the persistence slider?? I have 16gb on the USB.
+Dragonvarine did you figure it out yet?
I have the same issue. Did you figure it out?
Glenn Cheng
i remember that i watched another video but i dont know which one but now it works in persistence
new universal usb installer dont have it6
The method described creates a file where all the changes are written to, so, perhaps it is a little bit slow. There is a better method to create Ubuntu based USB keys, using a persistent USB EXT4 formatted partition within the same USB key. All you have to do is create a USB with 2 partitions, one with the space to install your Ubuntu based OS, and the other for the persistence, formatted EXT4, called casper-rw. Download the Ubuntu based OS, use Unetbootin to create the USB live key, and select a persistence, assing a size for it, for example 100MB size, and create it. Close Unetbootin (do not reboot) then, as root open the USB system partition, there you will find a file called casper-rw, delete it. That's it, start your system with the USB, create users, connect wi-fi, etc., etc., all the work will be saved within the second partition EXT4 formatted and called casper-rw. This method only works for Ubuntu based Linux Distros because they use a technology called "Casper".
why did you only give 1 gig if you have 32 ??
I dont find step 4
it is not shown
then your linux distro dont support it
Linux live USB(lili) is another portable program that does the same thing.
It also has taken an hour and a half and still isn't finished transfering.
does this video actually work? I mean is it really going to help me get a persistent ubuntu? I am willing to use it for my work...anyone who did get help please reply. No offence to the channel
ye
Step 4 is not available for Kali Linux, what now?
Exactly and i dnt get d f**k she wants her audience to get that
Had the same problem. I downloaded "Minitool Partition Wizard Free" and partition the usb drive and formatted it with FAT32. Then went back to the pendrive installer and it magically was there. Still learning so dont know why. Hope this helps..
thats why kali has persistende built in you just need to configure it
Good video this help me a lot i like to talk in mail or better in telegram ill be happy to help i have many sources
You should give the recommanded video link for kali linux in your description...
..she did
nope
just she said the name of the episode.
For Debian?
Debian Don´t work with persistence
WELL THAT dont Create Persisten form my USB..ist bad
... is thi- wait what arnt you ment to be in hak5
Most other tutorials give whole other steps about mounting the persistent partition and stuff.
I think this video stopped shy of teaching the full technique.
I find it strange that there is no easy way to do this from Linux . I had to search long and hard before I found the correct commands to do it from Linux and create a persistent volume . This is the easy way . Microsoft is lucky I still use its software for games . When Linux gaming gets a bit less buggy, I can throw that trashware out my home .

Mac users can use unetbootin
So can PC users. In fact, it's actually cross-platform unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ :)
Mac Linux USB Loader is another good choice.
only thing i don't like is the fact that i still need windows other than that .... all good
9anime.to has all anime free
Windows !!?? Wtf?
.exe? Step 1) purchase a license to run windows and install it.
GREAT!! What about doing it FROM a Linux program?????? There is not ONE blessed person with the expertise to show THAT! It's EASY to get Linux from Windows. It's as if they WANT you to leave. (They do actually, THE example is Windows 10, in which they held the door for us!) I need to take mine with me but won't do it FROM Windows because I got rid of ALL traces of that garbage. HOPEFULLY there is ONE person who knows something about a real OS who can help.
Have you ever tried to run the exe file with "playonlinux" or with a similar program? It should work, not properly, but it makes it start. U can give it a try ;)
Im running into the same damn problem . I still have Windows for games , so its not AS big a deal as with your situation . But still . I dont like using Windows for anything BUT games . Period . I can create a bootable drive on Ubuntu and Mint . However , I cant find anything that will let me create persistent storage from a GUI . The only way I know that can be done is threw the terminal in Linux.
@@apophis5213 that is true i know like this aswell
Google mkusb, there are several tutorial on YT too ...
And I'm supposed to trust someone on Windows to know how to use Linux???
Again with you?
Aquarius Rising............He's not wrong.
This video is not about how to use Linux. It's how to create a persistent USB boot drive. You need to work on your comprehension skills. Bye.
