External hard drive installation of Ubuntu wipes itself with every restart
Install Ubuntu to Boot from Partition on external Hard DriveInstalling Ubuntu in a external hard drive and NOT placing GRUB of my C: hard driveCan I make a external hard drive bootable with ubuntu 13.04?Ubuntu 14 Installed on External Hard Drive Random CrashesExternal hard drive + Google drive (Ubuntu 14.04)Boot from external hard drive and access internal hard drive?Kernels from unplugged external hard drive showing in GRUBInstalling Ubuntu on External Hard Drive - UEFIUbuntu installation from external hard drive does not detect my computer hard driveUbuntu on external hard drive not booting
So I'm running Ubuntu 18.04 from an external hard drive attached via USB to my Windows 10 machine. I boot it by using a Ubuntu USB booter and choosing the 'Linux' option from Windows' 'Advanced Restart' menu. I tried to be able to boot it on startup from the UEFI boot menu for a long time, to no avail.
It works perfectly fine except I need to resinstall everything every time I restart - I even get the 'Do you want to install/try Ubuntu' selection menu each time (though I don't need to actually install Ubuntu every time, just all the sudo apt-get stuff). Only data I've saved to the external hard drive disk persists.
Is there some configuration that will allow all of the packages I've installed in one session to remain for the next? I should mention that the external hard drive is cannibalized from an old laptop and requires a wall outlet to run, maybe that has something to do with it?
