I was able to boot Julian's ubuntu MATE 16.04 from the USB flash drive with the new longterm kernel 4.1.31 and with the initrd.img-4.1.31. I use the label Ubuntu_16.04.kilaueabart wrote:I didn't think any address had been changed on the flash drive itself, just how Ubuntu is addressing it.THW wrote:@kilaueabart:
No, the address has not changed on the drive, it depends on which drive configuration you have in your computer.
Linux mounts the drives permanent (fstab) or temporary.
I copied a 16.04 image to /dev/sde. GParted saw 16.04 immediately thereafter on /dev/sde2. Yesterday GParted saw no /dev/sde whatsoever, but it saw that 16.04 on /dev/sdf2. Today it is calling it /dev/sde2 again. Something is changing back and forth. Not the address?
I can only find the address and UUID of the version of Ubuntu I am currently running. I'm not sure how to find that info for an unmounted disk or partition, if that is what I need. More instructions, please.Please look in the fstab-file on the root partition in /etc/fstab with an editor e.g. pluma.
Here you can see what drive name would be given during the installation and the UUID.
