Module activation - folder doesn't appear in live system
Posted: 10 Nov 2023, 20:02
Hi,
Currently working on perfecting my basilisk local guest's settings folder / the basilisk settings module.
I started basilisk by mistake without first loading my settings module and thus it created a new generic settings folder resulting in none of my add-ons available.
Therefore I deleted as guest viathat settings folder, and loaded my module 986-basilisk-settings--2023-11-10.xzm
But I can deactivate that module and activate it again, the folder /home/guest/.basilisk-dev/ never appears in the live system.
Have a look at this:You can see that the activated module has a /home/guest/.basilisk-dev/ folder (visible as /mnt/live/memory/images/986-basilisk-settings--2023-11-10.xzm/home/guest/.basilisk-dev/ - but the same folder not appears in the live system: 
I recall many months ago I had a similar issue and it was due to some special live system deletion memory file where deleted folders and files keep being deleted even when a module got deactivated and activated again.
Sadly, I do not find the thread from back then explaining the issue and also giving the solution (disabling or removing the live system special file thingy that stores the "this folders /files have been deleted info") since all these descriptions are seemingly too vague to find the older thread about a similar issue.
Hopefully someone who knows how to fix that issue will give me the heads up on how to fix that (again).
For now I will just copy the settings folders and files manually into /home/guest/ (and hope this crude "fix" will solve my issue) but I want to have a help file that explains the issue and how to fix it if the same error appears once more in the future.
