Can't make Xubuntu persistent live USB using Rufus

  • 772

I'm trying to fully install Xubuntu on a 16 GB USB (with persistence). After several atempts, I still can't boot on it.

The ISO was burnt onto the USB using the last version of Rufus with the persistence enabled. After booting from the USB, my screen shows:

[        7.990790] Couldn't get size: 0x800000000000000e

(initramfs) stdin: Invalid argument  
stdin: Invalid argument  
mount: mounting /cow on /root failed: Invalid argument

What am I missing? Thanks in advance.

    Persistent partitions are only working with latest Rufus using Ubuntu 19.10 and later.

    Rufus 3.8 worked great for me using the daily release of Eoan Ermine.

    Ubuntu 19.10 is now in Beta and will be released on October 17.
