saving the current state of settings

[sepp1945]

HI,
i decided not to implement a saving.dat, because i don't want the user to make permament changes (especially NOT record the browser usage).

so i have modified the V5.01 with a new background, implemented OPENVPN, and set a bookmark in firefox.

changed the root & guest PW.

How can i save all settings in a module, store it in the module folder and delete the message telling the user that saving is not implemented.

so that on reboot the same settings are implemented, but no new modifications.

Thank you very much

Sepp

The save-session command works. Menu > Admin > Porteus Settings Centre > Save Settings > Save Your Current Session

As for deleting the message telling the user that saving is not implemented I don't know how to stop that.

To delete or change the save message, you'll need to edit the linuxrc file in initrd.xz. The relevant section is "Setup changes" in linuxrc.

In a terminal as root user:

Code: Select all

cp /boot/syslinux/initrd.xz /tmp
cd /tmp
mloop initrd.xz

make your changes, file will be in /tmp/mloop, then:

cd mloop
/opt/porteus-scropts/makeinitrd
mv initrd.xz /boot/syslinux/initrd-new.xz

Change the boot cmdline to the new initrd.xz to test your changes, you will still have the original as a fallback if something goes amiss.

Personally I think booting a system and being informed any changes I make won't be saved is useful info.

Correct

Just create "Firefox-kiosk"

Yes but Kiosk does not include VPN, which i need, does someone have experience in modifying Kiosk????
please contact me urgently
