Hello everybody
I'm new __{{emoticon}}__

My aim : an usb key with persistence.
I've try to use antix2usb with all the possible options and the result was the same : it don't work ! __{{emoticon}}__
USB KEY tested ; 4, 6 and 16 GB.

Just after the next clic (2 secondes next), a message say me" completed ..." but nothing is write on the key.
This is not a problem of mounted partition. Try with ext2 or ext3 or fat32, with extlinux or grub, with or without persistence ...
I've tested all the possibilties and no one is good !

I've only succes to do a key with antiX 13.2 (1024 MB, English, ext2, grub, non persistence). no one success if a change on option ! __{{emoticon}}__

Who can help me please ?

thanks

I think you need to wait a while before closing the app. you will get a pop up when its done. I've seen this a couple of times now, the text box will say complete, but its not done writing to the usb.

Hello Olivier

Some errors are not caught by the GUI.
You will find relevant information in the log file under /var/log/antix2usb.log
You can also use the shell command antix2usb.sh (antix2usb.py is a front end)
try: antix2usb.sh -h for help

@olivier01234, what system were you running antix2usb on? In particular, does that system have a fdisk.distrib command?

Code: Select all

which fdisk.distrib
