Input/Output Error
Posted: 28 May 2014, 12:06
I decided to run Porteus with persistence (aka porteus save file manager) yesterday, and Porteus has been acting weird ever since. The first 3-5 boots were okay, and then it stopped detecting the porteussave.dat. All my saved settings were gone and Porteus booted as if it was set to Always Fresh mode (though I selected Graphics Mode and there were no errors during boot).
I assumed there must have been a problem with the .dat file, so I resized it using Porteus Save File Manager, edited the .cfg file, rebooted, and everything was fine again. However, I faced a new problem that I didn't face earlier.
Porteus randomly closes all the running apps and returns to desktop. And when I try re-opening the apps, I get an Input/Output error. This has been happening a lot lately and I have to reboot every time, which is annoying. For instance:
This error comes when I try opening Thunar File Manager:
"Error when getting information for file '/home/guest': Input/Output Error"
This one comes when I try opening USM:
Failed to execute child process "/opt/porteus-scripts/xorg/psu" (Input/Output Error)
Some apps don't show an error at all. I keep clicking on them but they just won't start. How do I solve this? Does it have anything to do with the save file? Thanks!
