how can I make an exact copy (like migration) of my Ubuntu 12.10 (I installed it through Wubi) in a capable pendrive (like 32 gb)? That would be useful in future since I could also remove Wubi and keep my Ubuntu usable on other PCs.

And another question, if I do this, there is a possibility to upgrade in future without losing applications or data?

  • did you tried Remastersys for making a live ubuntu from what ever you have in your installed ubuntu ? – Mohammad_Hosseini Jul 09 '13 at 16:46
  • bcbc is the same thing for doing it onto a USB drive? mohamed remastersys seems to be very old, does it support Ubuntu 12.x or more? – Ruggiero A Jul 09 '13 at 19:49
  • @anonymous yes, you just create the target partition(s) the same as you would on any drive, and migrate to it. It will install grub on the USB, and then you could boot it from any computer* (*make sure you don't install a closed source graphics driver and then boot it on a computer with a different graphics card). – bcbc Jul 09 '13 at 20:21
  • @anonymous PS the migration script works on normal installs as well, so you can later migrate from the USB back to an internal hard drive. – bcbc Jul 09 '13 at 21:30
  • Thanks for helping, but I have another question as yet since your advice. My closed source graphics driver - as Ubuntu says - is actived but not currently in use. What does that mean? Can it be problematic on other computers if it isn't in use? How can I perform it? – Ruggiero A Jul 09 '13 at 22:47
  • What graphics driver is it? Or, if you're not sure, what graphics card do you have? PS use @bcbc to catch my attention. – bcbc Jul 09 '13 at 22:59
  • @bcbc I have AMD Radeon HD 6570. Drivers are powered by AMD Catalyst Center. As far as I know for most graphic cards open-drivers are much less power than closed-source drivers. – Ruggiero A Jul 09 '13 at 23:02
  • See here (look for Revert back to the open source drivers) to remove the drivers: http://askubuntu.com/a/74172/14916 – bcbc Jul 09 '13 at 23:53
  • Do I seriously need all that stuff? Settings window uses to work as well for enabling/disabling closed-source drivers – Ruggiero A Jul 10 '13 at 00:01
