Trouble With Persistence After Making a USB Live Thumb Drive Using Pendrivelinux
Solution 1
Be sure you have and always select "Persistent" option after booting from usb - if you do not see this option the usb has no persistence: it happened to me often for some reason. And to be sure that it works, I use, beside FAT32 (as stated in the other answer) a program called LiveUSB Install - here.
It provides a clear and nice interface for selecting the "persistent" boot (cannot give a screenshot of that) - it should be the second in the list after booting from live usb.
Solution 2
- List of "Related" questions on the right column might be helpful in solving your problem (e.g. making sure you have the boot option "persistent" in the configuration file)
- Instead of NTFS, FAT32 format might be more problem-free for Ubuntu live USB with persistence.
- Trying the Linux utility MultiSystem might work better in creating Ubuntu live USB with persistence: http://liveusb.info/dotclear/index.php?pages/install

I created a bootable Ubuntu on my 32GB thumb drive (on a NTFS partition) and I selected a persistence of 4GB.
I've noticed that when I reboot from the initial booting off of the USB thumb drive, nothing is preserved. No apps that were installed nor saved bookmarks.
Is there a way for me to manually force persistence?
