Porteus

I'm using rootcopy folder to save my personal data but I struggling to find which folders keep some settings.

1- num lock on/off
2- I already set Opera to be the preferred browser on XFCE, but when I open it I see a message asking if I want to make Opera the default browser. Even copying the whole folder home/guest/.config/opera to rootcopy folder of my USB stick, when I reboot Porteus, Opera keeps asking me to make it the default browser (although to XFCE Opera still is the preferred browser).
3- the new releases of Opera use Gnome keyring to encrypt user's passwords. So when you first open Opera it asks you to create a password for the keyring. No problem so far. I even get which folder keeps this password. The next time you reboot Porteus and open Opera it asks for the password you created before, then you insert it and it opens without any flaws and won't ask you for this password no matter how many times you close and open Opera. The problem is when you reboot: it asks for the password you created.
4- if you try to load a xzm package you'll be asked to insert root password. In this dialog there's a checkbox 'Remember password' giving user the possibility to remember only to the current session. How to save this checkbox state?

Also, if I open Opera it's not maximized, then I maximize, close and finally open it -- without restarting Porteus. Oddly it opens not maximized.

Thanks, Bogomips. I've managed to solve item 2 using your tip:
But I can't for the others (I also included item number 4 in the first post ). Is there another solution?

If you boot as root and you won't need the password when activating a module.

ad 1 - /etc/slim.conf or /etc/lxdm.conf
ad 2 - /home/guest/.config/xfce4/helpers.rc
ad 3 - I think you can set empty password for gnome keyring - disabled encryption
ad 4 - No plain solution, maybe something in /etc/group
ad 5 - the same story for google-chrome - set maximized size of window by drag and drop the corner

4. You could use sudo to have guest access the mount command or perhaps a polkit rule to allow anyone in the wheel group to bypass authentication.

EDIT:
I haven't tried this. Let me know if it works. The next version will have more support for people in wheel group.

I've only found slim.conf, and inside it I have this:
Uncommenting the second #, copying the entire file to rootcopy with the right path, rebooting I got no num lock LED. But look what I found:

Create home/guest/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/keyboards.xml and put this inside it:
It indeed turns on num lock LED at reboot, but if you press CTRL or ALT or WIN then num lock LED turns off, although keyboard still responds as if numlock is on!

It works. Thanks!

Yeah, but Opera keeps asking for a new password each time I open it.

Really odd! Thanks anyway

I'm not quite sure if I understand what you mean, but I don't want to bypass the password dialog nor avoid mounting to be password check. I just want to save the checkbox state ('Remember for this section'), not the password itself.
