I use Linux and I think you may be using Microsoft format?
I have edit of /config that is sitting at the root of my /mnt/sda3 so that cheatcodes line reads as
changes=/dev/sda3
I tried to use a full pathway of /mnt/sda3/porteus/changes in that file and in bootloader but dir is not created.
I am using a conflicting bootloader menu for Linux that reads
Code: Select all
cat /proc/cmdline
quiet root=LABEL=p3 changes=/porteus
and I can confirm that I truly have changes effective but Nemesis does not think so in its log.
I have not always had a conflict or even a match for the config stuff to bootloader stuff.
but now is a decent time to do a brutal test. I shall move out of /config the cheatcodes file but keep my bootloader cheatcode and see if I still have effective changes
will edit this post shortly.....rebooted and here is proof changes works
Code: Select all
guest ~ $ touch z
guest ~ $ ls -al z
-rw-r--r-- 1 guest users 0 Dec 19 17:32 z
guest ~ $ ls -al /mnt/sda3/changes/home/guest/z
-rw-r--r-- 1 guest users 0 Dec 19 17:32 /mnt/sda3/changes/home/guest/z
guest ~ $ ls -al /mnt/sda3/config

to save you trying to see what I am getting at I put the key facts in bold
no /changes/cheatcodes file
bootloader has cheatcode of changes=/porteus
I created a file and was saved to /changes
the only things not working too well, is I get a popup terminal telling me my changes cheatcode failed and the log for porteus thinks changes cheatcode failed
Can't have everything
