I have a problem my Hard Disk. So I am using a live USB of ubuntu. For using Opera browser, I am installing it each time I boot. Is there a way to keep this installation after a system reboot with the live CD?

I want not to persiste all the installation of ubuntu on my USB. I want to know if it is just possible to persiste just one software (Opera) ?

  • Try installing the native Ubuntu Opera snap package: https://askubuntu.com/questions/291001/how-to-install-opera-browser/291005#291005 If you follow the instructions at [How to make a persistent live Ubuntu USB with more than 4GB](https://askubuntu.com/questions/397481/) your Ubuntu live USB will have a storage space that is persistent across reboots. – karel Jul 17 '19 at 16:05
  • You may want to try the [persistent](https://askubuntu.com/questions/397481/how-to-make-a-persistent-live-ubuntu-usb-with-more-than-4gb) or full installation on the USB. See this [answer](https://askubuntu.com/questions/295701/what-would-be-the-differences-between-a-persistent-usb-live-session-and-a-instal/295776#295776) for the difference. – user68186 Jul 17 '19 at 16:05

To Make Opera persistent on a Live USB...

  1. Follow the instructions in How to make a persistent live Ubuntu USB with more than 4GB to create the Persistent Live USB.

  2. Boot from this Live USB as you have done before.

  3. Install Opera as you have done before.

  4. Don't install anything else.

Now your Opera installation will remain in the Live USB.

Hope this helps
