[Bug 1863672] Re: The 'new' persistent live method starting in 19.10 no longer works

[sudodus]

Here is the logfile for the boot options writable and verbose (Lubuntu
still failing). Do you want results from the working Ubuntu with the
same date? That way we might help the developers of Lubuntu and Xubuntu
(and maybe also the other community flavours, that I have not tested).

Title:
  The 'new' persistent live method starting in 19.10 no longer works

Status in casper package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I am iso-testing Focal Fossa and I am creating and maintaining tools
  to create live and persistent live USB drives. Lubuntu Focal daily
  live dated 2020-02-12 works. But the current version of Lubuntu Focal
  dated 2020-02-16 (zsynced approx. one hour ago) does not work when
  using exactly the same method using mkusb-plug, that edits the iso
  file to replace 'quiet splash' with 'persistent  ' /12 characters/ and
  creating an ext partition behind it.

  I noticed that the version of casper has changed from 1.438build1
  (when it worked) to 1.439 so I suspect that this has caused the
  failure.
