  • Does anyone know how to recover files saved on a live version of Lubuntu ?

    I was previously running Lubuntu as a live version from a flashdrive (no. 1). For the full install I used a different flashdrive (no. 2).

    I'd like the files I'd saved on flashdrive no.1. I've tried searching no.1 in windows and in the newly installed Lubuntu, but nothing obvious comes up.

    It seems like something someone must have dealt with, but Google results are all centred around recovering files using linux so it's hard to find anything.

    Any ideas?

    Cheers.

  • Boot up the live version again (no.1) and copy them to a flashdrive seems the easiest way.

    Are you sure the files are actually saved, the live versions aren't always persistent between sessions.

  • Cheers. Good idea. I'll give that a try.

    I'm not 100% now. But previously they had been there every time I'd run from the live vers. - hence why I'd run the live version for so long.

  • It worked! Cheers.

    Feel a bit silly for not thinking of it.
