I have been having exactly the same problem with the setup_Linux.sh script. My analysis of the problem differs slightly, though. If you want to look at this script in Ubuntu (and probably any other distribution with the Gnome environment) you will need to choose a different editor than gedit. Because there is a chunk of gzip compressed data, gedit thinks it is dealing with a binary file, and refuses to open the script. There may be a way to force gedit to open the script, but I find it as easy to use vi or emacs. In the code snippets below, I have copied and pasted from vi with line numbering turned on.

The problem, as I understand it, is that the script uses bash syntax, but the first line of the script calls on the sh interpreter. Code: Select all 1 #! To test this, I tried reproducing the instructions that populate the BROWSER array.From the script: I tested it by taking the code above and putting it in a file named code_snippet.

You can boot it up, install programs, save files, and change settings. But, as soon as you reboot, all your changes are wiped away and you’re back to a fresh system. This can be useful, but if you want a system that picks up where you left off, you can create a live USB with persistent storage. How Persistent Storage Works When you create a USB drive with persistence, you’ll allocate up to 4 GB of the USB drive for a persistent overlay file.

Any changes you make to the system—for example, saving a file to your desktop, changing the settings in an application, or installing a program—will be stored in the overlay file. Whenever you boot the USB drive on any computer, your files, settings, and installed programs will be there. This is an ideal feature if you want to keep a live Linux system on a USB drive and use on different PCs. There are a few limitations. Persistence doesn’t work with every Linux distribution. How to merge Partitions in ubuntu....... How to run Linux from a USB drive. Nothing can beat having a great Linux distro installed on a super-fast hard drive, with all your favourite apps configured just how you like them and all your files at your fingertips. But this has one major drawback: perfect as your setup is, it's also just one machine, and sooner or later you'll be forced to leave that computer behind and use something else.

Something that might run Windows. Something that might not even have Firefox. Because no one likes being parted from their data for too long, we present a smarter option: store it all on a USB flash drive. In older days, you were able to store Linux on a CD and use a flash drive just to save changes. Once you switch your install to a flash drive, it means you can take it pretty much anywhere and get back to work immediately.

You'll need a flash drive with at least 1GB of free space, and ISO images of either Ubuntu 8.10 or Fedora 9. There are five things you'll want to consider when buying the perfect flash drive for Linux. 1. 2. 3. Enjoy your WD My Book 1TB Drive: No more WD SmartWare icon in Ubuntu!
