@BeastOfCaerbannog started a bounty on a question. Let's see
Feb 10, 2021 14:25
I've read the 2nd answer
Feb 10, 2021 14:23
Maybe it's because I'm using an external monitor?
Feb 10, 2021 14:23
@BeastOfCaerbannog First one didn't work for me

I've rollbacked this answer since the latest edit was just incorporating others' answer and was significantly different than the others' answer. askubuntu.com/posts/47218/revisions

@dessert I was expecting an answer. I don't know why Ubuntu is giving half-baked things these days!
Jan 27, 2020 15:54
I think this is a bug in Ubuntu askubuntu.com/q/1206023/61218 What do you people think?
Jan 27, 2020 15:28
I'm not sure if I'd be able to do so. Let's see
Jan 27, 2020 15:27
silence where?
Jan 27, 2020 15:27
I'll try to spend at least a few minutes from now on.
Jan 27, 2020 15:26
That's even greater! I've the board visited today
Jan 27, 2020 15:23
Oh. At least you're visiting here everyday. That's great!

@Zanna Hi :)

@MathCubes I haven't heard of mergerfs. I've learned something about unionfs and aufs. As far as I know, aufs is preferred solution in Ubuntu. unionfs is outdated. But nowadays, overlayfs is the one that's being used everywhere and included in the kernel AFAIK

@Fabby I know it
Jul 4, 2019 12:03
yes. like live. but I want my configured system as the base.

The objective is, I want to use ramdisk for speed which can be discarded without problem
Jul 4, 2019 10:37
Here is a guide wiki.ubuntu.com/BootToRAM but looks outdated
Jul 4, 2019 10:37
@terdon Maybe I didn't express the precisely . ^ Running on Ram was what I was looking for
Jul 4, 2019 10:36
@WinEunuuchs2Unix It wasn't what I looking for. Thought good suggestion :)
Jul 4, 2019 10:36
@Rinzwind I saw timeshift. It's system restore. What I want is running the OS on RAM (or part of the filesystem) and gone when rebooted.
Jul 3, 2019 09:27
Like Live CD but not from a CD or ISO image
Jul 3, 2019 09:27
any software solution?
Jul 3, 2019 07:23
as if it's frozen. restored when rebooted
Jul 3, 2019 07:18
I want my system to revert back upon reboot. basically like a live cd but with my current state. How to do this? I found [systemback ](launchpad.net/~nemh/+archive/ubuntu/systemback) but it creates live cd for that.

Jun 21, 2020 13:41
I think I should have visit the chats more often
Jun 21, 2020 13:41

Jun 21, 2020 08:42
How many mods are going to be elected?
Jun 21, 2020 08:38
looks like AU is getting some more mods.
