Hi, new to Porteus. I´ve been doing all the steps according to instructions to create and edit the append line in porteus.cfg but I can´t get persistence working. I´m using a pendrive and set the .dat file in sdb1, not in the pendrive. No error messages at boot.
Any help please?

Re: Persistence problems
Try using the UUID of the partition which holds your save.dat file as the cheatcode.
changes=UUID:STrING-0F-ChARACtERS/path/file.dat
You can get the UUID from the output of: blkid
Lastly, make sure you have actually created the save.dat file using the Porteus Settings Centre and that you edit the correct append line in porteus.cfg
changes=UUID:STrING-0F-ChARACtERS/path/file.dat
You can get the UUID from the output of: blkid

Re: Persistence problems
With the UUID value I get an error message at boot. Without the UUID value, I get no error, but settings aren´t saved 

Re: Persistence problems
Don´t know how or when, but I reverted to my first path (without the UUID value) and now is saving the changes. Thanks brokenman for your help. SOLVED.racer63 wrote:With the UUID value I get an error message at boot. Without the UUID value, I get no error, but settings aren´t saved
