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

[Ron Mitchell]

Sorry for the delay. The PPC version of 12.10  has been taking my time
over the past few days.

Looks like the only difference (see attached screen shot) is the efi
file, which of course, explains why it won't boot on this Intel MacBook.
To prepare this stick, I used the Startup Disk Creator available from
the Lubuntu software center. There are what appear to be two versions of
the same program there. The first one did not generate the casper-rw
file. The second one - which the attachment shows, did.

How did you get efi on there?

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

Status in “casper” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

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
