I don't know about that error. To avoid some filesystem-media-related problems, I have kept the factory formatting on my USB devices as recommended here, <a href="http://wiki.laptop.org/go/How_to_Damage_a_FLASH_Storage_Device" target="_blank">http://wiki.laptop.org/go/How_to_Damage_a_FLASH_Storage_Device</a>.<div> </div><div>I have a 16-GB SanDisk Cruzer and 16-GB Toshiba USB drives. I once manually reformatted the SanDisk to remove the U3 partition, but after reading the article, I got the SanDisk utility (<a href="http://kb.sandisk.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/240/kw/usb%20flash%20drive%20u3/r_id/101834" target="_blank">http://kb.sandisk.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/240/kw/usb%20flash%20drive%20u3/r_id/101834</a>) to restore the factory format. For the record, the SanDisk device is formatted as W95 FAT32 (0x0b), and the Toshiba - W95 FAT32 (LBA) (0x0c) according to my disc utility. </div> <div>> > Do I have to use your script to create the USB? vs using graphical > liveusb-creator to make this work? No, the script works from either installation method. I sometimes test with the Windows Live USB Creator. New work: I've added some user input checking and played with the /home/liveuser/.sugar/default/owner.key and .key.pub files (which don't seem to be installed by the Windows Live USB Creator). These new lines before and after the copy of the overlay file, + chown root:root /home/liveuser/.sugar/default/owner.key /home/liveuser/.sugar/default/owner.key.pub + mv /home/liveuser/.sugar/default/owner.key $USBMNT/$LIVEOS/owner.key + mv /home/liveuser/.sugar/default/owner.key.pub $USBMNT/$LIVEOS/owner.key.pub + cp $CDMNT/LiveOS/$OVERLAYFILE $USBMNT/$LIVEOS/$OVERLAYFILE || exitclean + mv $USBMNT/$LIVEOS/owner.key /home/liveuser/.sugar/default/owner.key + mv $USBMNT/$LIVEOS/owner.key.pub /home/liveuser/.sugar/default/owner.key.pub + chown liveuser:liveuser /home/liveuser/.sugar/default/owner.key /home/liveuser/.sugar/default/owner.key.pub + chmod 600 /home/liveuser/.sugar/default/owner.key + chmod 644 /home/liveuser/.sugar/default/owner.key.pub had the result that the newly booted cloned image presented with a new Sugar user screen. Once the Home view appeared, the old Activity icon colors and Journal were present. Be careful though, because a saved password cookie in Browse for my Gmail was transferred to the new image. The new, Sugar-specific script and diff are attached. Thanks for testing! --Fred </div>
