[ Testing Completed ] LiveUSB Testers

[johnmart]

Well, now the full code will upload. Server truble, I guess.
This is the konsole response when I navigate to /home/john to select an iso located in /home/john/Downloads. I open /home ok, but as soon as I open/john script exits, without response.
Choosing an iso located in /root/Downloads/ runs as expected. Hope that helps.
Great work Just18.

Thank you johnmart for getting the whole thing posted.

I am not at all sure what is happening there, so hopefully we can get opinion on the matter.

It seems likely to me that what you have is some form of permission event.
The script appears to be killed by something not determined within the script.

I have never come across this before ......  but I do not use Xfce, so it may be something connected with the DE in use ......

GLib-GIO-Message: Using the 'memory' GSettings backend.  Your settings will not be saved or shared with other applications.

Can you please run the script again, in the manner I described above ..... by opening a terminal and going to root, prior to launching the script?

I suggest opening a terminal at  /home/john .....  then su to root .......  the put the full path of the script into the terminal to launch it.

I would like to compare the two outputs.

Thanks for your continued testing  

[johnmart]

ok. I'll get back to you in an hour.

ok. I'll get back to you in an hour.

Thank you 

[johnmart]

I may have forgotten to mention that I am on 64bit partition running KDE.

I followed your procedure & got a successful install. 
Here's my beginning after I entered the complete path to the script.
I suppose installing from the PC menu should keep this from happening.

Thanks for reporting back johnmart

Seems all is OK 

The script should work equally well on  32 & 64 bit .....  or at least does here.

regards.
