[02:08] <Rcck2> guys, hi, any idea about why a live pendrive doesn't work on persistent mode? i save a file but never reapears on reboot. I remember that with another computer and the same pendrive, the persistent mode was working, but with my actual pc doesnt,
[02:09] <Rcck2> does that makes any sense? has the PC something to do on this matter? some bios configuration maybe?
[02:18] <tomreyn> Rcck2: the same usb stick, with the same data on it, or different data?
[02:19] <tomreyn> my guess would be bios vs uefi booting, but i don't actually remember how persistence works in detail.
[02:35] <Rcck2> tomreyn yes same usb with same data
[02:36] <Rcck2> yes i think i have uefi in my actual notebook but can't remember what i have on the other one, i will have to retry again with the old computer at some moment
[02:49] <tomreyn> Rcck2: this tells you how you booted:   echo -n 'This system booted via: '; [ -d /sys/firmware/efi ] && echo UEFI || echo BIOS
[02:56] <Rcck2> let me copy this and, reboot and tell you back the response
[03:05] <Rcck2> tomreyn EUFI IS THE responseç
[03:09] <Rcck2> with my new computer with UEFI, no menu appears when i boot
[03:09] <Rcck2> when i try the old PC, with the same stick, a menu appears that allows me to select persistent mode
[03:10] <Rcck2> keyboard, etc
[03:10] <tomreyn> Rcck2: the idea was to compare the output of the command in both situations you're comparing. but i guess if the grub menu differs this is already telling that you're booting differently
[03:11] <Rcck2> i will tell you the result in a few seconds, it still booting
[03:11] <Rcck2> just to confirm,
[03:13] <tomreyn> So your question seems to be something along the lines of "How can I set up persistence when UEFI booting a Xubuntu [put xubuntu release version here] live ISO?"
[03:13] <Rcck2> yeah the old comptuer returns BIOS response
[03:14] <Rcck2> yeah that will be the question, how to be able to boot on persistence mode with EUFI, since i get no menu and nothing, it just boots
[03:14] <tomreyn> and your xubuntu release is?
[03:15] <Rcck2> last one
[03:15] <Rcck2> i just downloaded it
[03:15] <Rcck2> let me see
[03:15] <tomreyn> the last one hasn't been set yet, maybe you mean the latest one?
[03:15] <Rcck2> 20.10
[03:15] <Rcck2> yes
[03:17] <tomreyn> you could try with either mkusb or ventoy, those are my guesses
[03:17] <Rcck2> i used lili usb
[03:17] <Rcck2> to make the pendrive
[03:17] <Rcck2> mkusb is another program?
[03:17] <Rcck2> or a command
[03:18] <Rcck2> ok a program
[03:19] <Rcck2> however if the program is just for linxu i have a problem, since i have windows in the main computer,
[03:19] <Rcck2> well maybe from a virtual machine
[03:24] <tomreyn> yes, a VM should work. also, ventoy should work on both linux and windows. finally, there's also rufus for windows, may also be worth a try.
[03:25] <tomreyn> none of this is supported here
