I made an updated Lucid bootable USB flash drive that boots fine on one computer but gives the initramfs "unable to find a medium containing a live file system" error when I tried to boot it on an HP elitebook 8540p. After some googling I found a suggestion to try to boot from a different USB port

I can confirm the problem with the jaunty live daily desktop cd (april 14, 2009) and persistence. I just used usb-creator to create bootable usb stick of latest jaunty and during boot it goes to busybox and initramfs. However, if I press F6 during boot and remove "persistent" from kernel boot com

Public bug reported: I tested the September 5, 2006 release of the edgy i386 desktop CD and ran it as a liveCD. The Trash icon in the lower right corner of the desktop always says it's empty, even when it is not empty. Files dropped into the trashcan will go into the ~/.Trash directory as expect
