I don’t have a printer or anything setup. I’m trying to figure out how to do it.
I have a 2010 macbook. Trying to see if I can set that up as a printer.
Ok so he is just saying to setup a normal partition on my hard drive. Ok that should be easy to do. I’ll try that still.
Here are some pics of what it looks like. The first one is after I created the QR code. It gives you the option to save or print. The first picture is after clicking print and the second is after clicking save.
That dialog is clearly from within the app itself and it is obviously not using the OS to print at all, you really need to talk to the app providers, this is nothing anyone here in that forum will be able to help with…
PS: If you only need a pic of the QR code, is a photo with your mobile (like you just took) not enough ?
Ok the dialog not being from the OS and instead from the app is new to me. Didn’t know there was a difference there.
I did think about phone picture thing and I am going to test that out to see if it will work. The image is so small that I don’t know if it’s readable.
Anyways thanks for trying and all of the help.
Appreciate it.
The black square at the right bottom of the QR code looks like a maximize or fullscreen button, did you try clicking it to see if it perhaps maximizes the pic ?
Yes I tried that.
It isn’t clickable.
I did try taking a pic and reading it, but it’s too small and blurry.
Thanks.

I expect you will need to reinstall the Superback software and/or eliminate the option for the Kanguru FlashTrust for this to work. The problem is not with Ubuntu it is with this software. Obviously you can’t print anything if you do not have a printer connected and configured but on any standard Linux, the Print to File option will simply make a copy of the file in the Documents directory of the user.
Ok I removed Bitlocker(didn’t even know it was enabled and just found out about it) and I created a partition formatted in exFat.
I couldn’t write to the partition and I don’t think turning off bitlocker did anything.
However I was able to save it to “root”, but when I power off the files go away.
The root-rw on a live media is not actually an existing partition, but a virtual ramdisk that holds changed files from the boot and runtime of the live system… It indeed goes away as soon as your ram is powered off…
Have you tried to write to the 11GB volume? I assume that is the physical USB key
I tried saving to them all.
The 10gb is the exFat partition that I created.
If I try to save to any of them or mount anybof them it pops up a login box where it’s looking for an Administrator password.
I’ve tried my windows login and a few other things but nothing.
I’m just gonna just keep working on it. If I ever figure out a way I will update this thread.
Perhaps this method might work?

But you need a regular USB not the write-protected kind.
Sorry if I am missing the point, just trying to offer another way to try this.
For this particular app I’m running that won’t work. But I read thru that and it’s good info. Thanks.

Ok so I got a 2nd computer that has a 2nd usb port and it worked. I could save the jpg and the pdf to the usb and then boot back into Windows and access them. So I am hype that I got it working, but still amazed that if you only had 1 usb port you are screwed.
Thank you to everyone for helping.
Not really.
You can add the toram parameter to grub when you boot into a “Try Ubuntu” live session, which will allow you to remove the bootable usb.
Then, you can attach another USB to store your file.
Boot into the live session
When grub appears, press e to edit
After quiet splash, add toram as follows:-
quiet splash toram
F10 to boot
When the desktop loads, log out (not power off), remove the bootable USB, log in (no password required)
Ok that’s incredible. Gonna look into this. Thanks.
