Hello
I'm trying the Experimental Ubuntu live edition to be able to backup an Ext4 partition, on a Dell Mini9. Unfortunately, I can't display the menu, all I can see if the grey background, and if I press any key, I will see the last line of the menu "press Tab to edit options" scrolling up and disappearing. And that's it, I can't do anything else. If I just press "enter", I'm asked for a password, but I don't know what to answer.
So currently I'm backing up my ext4 system with the alternate solution, it's working fine but of course it's slower and take a lot of space on the server. Is there any solution to this problem?
FrancoisFF,
Are you using USB flash drive to run Clonezilla live ?
If so, did you use syslinux 3.71 or later to make it bootable ? If you use older one, it will not work. The problem is exactly the one you mentioned.
Or you can follow
http://clonezilla.org/clonezilla-live/liveusb.php
to make it.
Steven.
Arghhhh I already had the same problem, and I didn't remember the solution. You are right, I used a software to install the ISO on the USB key, and the syslinux was probably too old. It's working now. Thanks for your help, and sorry for the silly mistake again.
