Bug Description

Unlike Ubuntu images since 11.10, Linux Secure Remix images aren't hybrid. ( See http://www.tuxgarage.com/2011/06/ubuntu-switched-to-hybrid-disc-images.html ).

I thought that they must be hybrid, because it's based on Ubuntu 13.04, but I was wrong.

I tried running "pv linux-secure-13.04-32bit.iso|dd of=/dev/sdb" which succeeded with Ubuntu images, but not this.

I hope that I sent this to correct place. https://sourceforge.net/projects/linux-secure/support says that they haven't specified where to get support and their homepage https://sourceforge.net/p/linux-secure/wiki/Home/ asked to help by translating and linked to translations of this project where I went to bugs tab and am reporting this.

Addition: if I did sent this to wrong place, could you tell me where I should report this or even better move this there?

Afrer running "isohybrid linux-secure-13.04-32bit.iso " I can get it to boot from USB with the previous command, but now I am sure that the tests won't pass when it's finished.

This should be done before publishing the images, but I don't know how that happens while allowing the disk intergrity test to pass.

I believe that the tests passed, because they didn't say anything except "Rebooting system" when I accidentally pressed arrow key.

This still should be done before publishing images or at least adding a warning that the images aren't hybrid.

thank you Mikaela for the detailed report.
Unfortunately I have no idea how to generate an hybrid ISO, so for the moment I just added a warning on the website. ( https://sourceforge.net/p/linux-secure/wiki/Home )
