I had a working persistent live USB that I made using mkusb and it served me well for several months. It then stopped booting.



I get to the screen where I can select Persistent Live, USB Persistent Live to RAM, etc. I select Persistent Live (selecting Persistent Live to RAM doesn't help either). It continues but then stays stuck on the screen during the ubunto boot where the dots keep cycling. Upon touching the power button, I see a log of lines that show the following errors along with other lines:




Failed to start Avahi mDNS/DNS [a few more characters follow but I
cannot make it out]



Failed to start Login Service



There is a line each for a Failed to Start for (I am recreating the
list from shorthand notes so please don't mind case differences or
other slight variations--let me know if you need the exact):



login service
VirtualBox Linux kernel module

Accounts Service

Thermal Daemon Service

Network Manager Service

Dependency failed for Network Manager Wait Online




During the boot process, if I select the last option to check and do any fixes (versus selecting Persistent Live Boot), it says nothing was broken and asks me to reboot.



From what I can make out from this help page, I need to create a new live usb and transfer the home directory to it. I am having trouble creating a new one (will create a separate thread) but wanted to see if anyone has encountered a similar issue and fixed it without creating a new persistent live usb.



Thanks for any help!
