For me, the result of following that instruction was:
-- no changes saved
i guess you never meet required condition:
While you are running a session with changes=EXIT, you can use the 'dump-session' command
To clarify/expand what I posted earlier, here's the scenario
file successfully created:
/mnt/sdb1/boot/syslinux/porteus.cfg
boot line reads:
APPEND initrd=initrd.xz changes=EXIT:/porteussave.dat ramsize=42% timezone=America/New_York login=root
The result of calling dump-session:
-- savefile is NOT modified
-- AUFS layer (or whatever) is blanked, and system state is apparently "fresh, as of the beginning of this current xsession"
despite repeated requests, pleas, suggestions... there's still a user/dev disconnect.
i'm getting annoyed by all these people coming here and trying to convert porteus to puppy with all the popups/wizards/etc...
from my point of view such system is a pain to use and i would probably have to abandon it.
Seriously?!?
Okay, I'll go stand in the
too-f'ing-stupid-to-use-Porteus corner
Seriously, and sincerely, I'm apologizing for however I've contributed to your annoyance.
Goodbye.
