No problem. How's this?fanthom wrote:btw: please start new thread if there is no 'single post' answer as this bug does not belong to USM.
Stuff gets saved all the time. Firefox bookmarks, network files, /home/guest files, /home/guest/. folder files, etc.fanthom wrote:i see only two options:
- 'changes=EXIT:' cheatcode does not dump your savings (i checked yesterday and it was ok). could you confirm that anything (like new wallpaper or random file on the desktop) gets saved?
I don't believe I have any other than one for my mouse pad.- one of your custom startup/shutdown scripts messes up the changes (remember that they are stored in RAM until the shutdown)
syndaemon.desktop
Code: Select all
[Desktop Entry]
Exec=syndaemon -i 1 -d

Yes.brokenman wrote:changes=EXIT:/porteus/changes/porteussave.dat is in your boot line. This means that whatever is in the root of this file gets loaded into the root of your live file system.
That looks weird to me also. /mnt/sda5/porteus/changes/porteussave.dat is a file not a directory. Where are you seeing that?brokenman wrote:/mnt/sda5//porteus/changes/porteussave.dat/changes is a module that was loaded. This looks weird to me. Do you have the folder: /changes (check with: ls /changes)
Code: Select all
guest@porteus:~$ ls /mnt/sda5/porteus/changes
porteussave-Base.dat* porteussave-old-Bkup.dat* porteussave.dat*
porteussave-b4.dat* porteussave-old.dat*
guest@porteus:~$ ls /mnt/sda5//porteus/changes/porteussave.dat/changes
/bin/ls: cannot access /mnt/sda5//porteus/changes/porteussave.dat/changes: Not a directory
guest@porteus:~$
rc.localAlso what scripts automatically start when you boot? (the contents of /etc/rc.d/rc.local for example)
Code: Select all
#!/bin/sh
#
# /etc/rc.d/rc.local: Local system initialization script.
#
# Put any local startup commands in here. Also, if you have
# anything that needs to be run at shutdown time you can
# make an /etc/rc.d/rc.local_shutdown script and put those
# commands in there.

My basic NTFS directory structure for porteus is:
/mnt/sda5/ISOs - for .iso and related support files.
/mnt/sda5/porteus - for porteus directories and related Windows support files.
/mnt/sda5/porteus/changes - for the save.dat file plus currently several backups.
/mnt/sda5/porteus /modules - for .xzm files
/mnt/sda5/porteus/modsavedat - for a renamed copy of my save.dat file. Used when I don't use the changes= cheatcode.
/mnt/sda5/porteus/Guest - for a backup of my /home/guest files
