when i switch to RAM only it loses all settings

[sepp1945]

With the great help of your DEV team, i got my ver5.1Cinnamon working perfectly with OPENVPN, (after reboot all remembered)

BUT when i switch to RAM only it loses all my settings.

What i am doing wrong

so what you need to do is edit <your_usb>/boot/syslinux/porteus.cfg and add "copy2ram" (no quotes) to the APPEND line of the first boot entry where your "changes=" cheatcode is.
alternatively, add your "changes=" to the APPEND line of the copy to ram boot entry.
check out /boot/docs/cheatcodes for information about other cheatcodes.

Thank you very much, it is exactly what i want.

is there a cheatcode to boot directly without showing the menu?

Kind regards

not a cheatcode, but in porteus.cfg line 2 is TIMEOUT 90 .. if you change that to TIMEOUT 0 the menu might appear very briefly.
i think if you comment(#) line 3 (as well) it won't appear at all:

Code: Select all

#UI vesamenu.c32

i tried 0 and it was stuck until i selected an option, so it is no time out
i will try the comment

yes this is it, worked like a charm

Thank you

ah, yes, didn't think of that.. probably 1 would do, for anyone wondering.
but yes, disabling the UI vesamenu.c32 is what you needed.
