ABOUT LFA (Linux For All) 64bit Live System – Build 240718 – with Budgie DE 10.9.1, kernel 6.9.8-amd64-exton and Refracta Snapshot :: Create your own LFA/Ubuntu installable 24.04 LTS system!
Linux For All (LFA) Build 240718 with Budgie 10.9.1 DE
is a simple remaster of Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, code-named Noble Numbat. It’s a total rebuild. I.e. nothing is left of the old LFA system. NOTE: Ubuntu 24.04 will be supported until August 2029.
The system language is ENGLISH.
NEWS ABOUT LFA Build 240718
1. All packages the ordinary Linux user can wish for are pre-installed. Study the full packages list: https://lfa.exton.net/build-240718/lfa-installed-packages-240718.txt
2. Kernel 6.9.8-amd64-exton is used. You can of course switch to Ubuntu’s original kernel if you prefer that.
3. The Desktop environment is Budgie 10.9.1. ("Budgie is a desktop environment, formerly a project within Solus, becoming independent under the newly formed Buddies of Budgie organization in January 2022. It uses GTK for widgets, and is written in C and Vala. As of Budgie 10, the only available session is on Xorg").
4. The main Web Browser is Firefox. So you can watch Netflix!
5. I have included Refracta tools (Refracta Snapshot) to make it possible for you to create your own installable Ubuntu 24.04 LTS Live System once you have installed LFA to hard drive.
6. You can run LFA super fast in RAM. Use boot alternative 2 Load to RAM.
7. I have removed snapd altogether.
WHATS’S NEW in kernel 6.9: https://9to5linux.com/linux-kernel-6-9-officially-released-this-is-whats-new
IMPORTANT ABOUT Refracta Snapshot
You can use the Refracta Snapshot (pre-installed in LFA Build 240718) to create your own installable Ubuntu Live System once you have installed LFA to hard drive. I mean change everything and then create a whole new Ubuntu live system. You don't even have to install LFA to hard drive before you can use Refracta Snapshot. If you have plenty of RAM you can create a new (your own!) Ubuntu system while running LFA from DVD or a USB stick. Please note that the whole Refracta process (creating your new ISO) only will take 10 - 20 min! You can then install VirtualBox in LFA so you can test run your own created new Ubuntu ISO. Or do it in Windows. Btw: You can do the whole thing in VirtualBox. I mean install LFA in VirtualBox, change everything, create a new Ubuntu system using Refracta Snapshot and transfer your new ISO to your server with using Samba or FileZilla. Or just copy your new ISO file to a USB stick. Or copy the ISO file to your Windows desktop.
Used KERNEL
My special kernel 6.9.8-amd64-exton.
PASSWORDS and login
When the boot process is ready you will end up LightDM's login screen. The password for the ordinary user user is live. You can only log in to Budgie from LightDM as the ordinary user user. The password for root is root. When logged in as user you can use Sudo to become root. (Commands: sudo su and for example sudo pcmanfm).
LOG IN TO Budgie as root
If you for some reason want to log in to Budgie as root you shall press Ctrl Alt F1 simultaneously. You will then leave X and be logged in as the user user in console mode. Run the following three commands: 1) sudo su 2) cd /root 3) startx.
INSTALLATION to hard drive
Note that you in advance (just in case) should create a partition of at least 30 GB for LFA and a SWAP space double the size of your computer's RAM. I.e. if you have RAM of 1024 MB or less. If you have RAM of 2 GB or more it's enough with a SWAP space of 2 GB. The installation program in LFA (Calamares Installer or Refracta Installer) is otherwise "intuitive". Choose manual partitioning and select the partition you created in advance for installation. Read more: https://lfa.exton.net/hard-drive-install/
USB installation
Please read my INSTRUCTION about the absolute best way to perform a USB installation: https://lfa.exton.net/usb-install/
There are two ways to achieve persistence!
ABOUT WIRELESS configurations
Use NetworkManager to configure your wireless network. It works perfect.
