Did you try Install / Remove Languages in menu System > Preferences > Personal > Language Support > tab Language?papaoskar wrote: Hi Christian,
I was successful with a 16GB stick. It boots nicely, however I could persuade the stick to accept german language and keyboard. But no german for the system to apply system wide.
See change language settings to German in ubuntu MATE
Could you please try rsync?papaoskar wrote: I have done the copy process according to your advice with the commands: cp -a * /mnt . The copy command stops when it comes to /proc - directory. Too many errors and then it stops.
How about producing an img file from the stick and then dumping that img to /dev/sdb8 ? Perhaps I have to go to ubuntu 12.4 and do the copying from there?
Please boot Ubuntu 12.04.5 and mount /dev/sdb8 and the ubuntu MATE 16.04 root partition on your USB thumb drive. After that please try out the command rsync.
For example:
-
Code: Select all
sudo mkdir /mnt2
- (if that's the ubuntu MATE 16.04 root partition on your USB thumb drive)
Code: Select all
sudo mount /dev/sdd2 /mnt2
- (the new root partition)
Code: Select all
sudo mount /dev/sdb8 /mnt
-
Code: Select all
sudo rsync -av --progress /mnt2/ /mnt/
-
Code: Select all
umount /mnt /mnt2
Thanks in advance,
Christian
