[Bug 1040401] Re: Lubuntu Live CD - AMD64+Mac 12.10 build Aug 21 2012. Persistence functionality not enabled.

[Brian Murray]

If you followed the steps documented in the test case I would expect
persistence to work for you.  You should have a file named casper-rw on
your usb stick, not a partition.   Additionally, you would need to pass
a persistent boot parameter to the kernel.

The easiest way to setup persistence is using usb-creator to make your
usb stick.  Could you either confirm that you had a casper-rw file and
passed the persistent boot parameter or recreate your usb stick and try
the test again?  Thanks in advance.

  Lubuntu Live CD - AMD64+Mac 12.10 build Aug 21 2012. Persistence
  functionality not enabled.

Status in “casper” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Attempting Test Case dls-003 Live Session Persistence with Lubuntu
  12.10 build Aug 21 2012 - AMD64+Mac.

  formatted a 16 Gig USB stick in the prescribed manner, and followed
  steps given in the details of the test case.

  Rebooted the Live disk with addition of the word 'persistence' added
  to the command line <F6> booted into Lubuntu, and used the Chrome
  browser provided to browse several websites.

  Rebooted the live CD as required by the Test Case, also with
  persistence.

  The USB stick was installed throughout these two boots.

  There was no record of my browsing history provided by casper-rw.

  Accordingly I had to fail the test case
