Create a save.dat container

[Jabadu]

Hi, i tried to understand this instruction to create a save.dat container: http://porteus.org/info/docs/57-general ... d-one.html
I did the following steps:
1. i used the Porteus save.dat Manager to create a save.dat file.
2. i edited the end of the append line and inserted the save.dat location.

This screenshot shows both changes:

Unfortunatly something has to be wrong. The System doesn t save any changes after restart.
I hope someone can help me?

The howto specifies:
changes=/porteus/0.dat

Sry, i didn t realise yet,it works the way i installed it. I just looked on my screen resolution. Porteus doesn t save the screen resolution in save.dat. I will create an extra thread for it.

Yes,

francois is right! You need to change your porteus.cfg

Replace every 'changes=/porteus/' by 'changes=/mnt/sdb1/0.dat'

Good Luck!

Sometime there are special driver issues not to complicated to be resolved for the screen to be functional. For example, you may have a nvidia driver. Are you on the 32-bit or 64-bit version of porteus?

If you are in the 32 bit:
click on the left button of the control panel (kde menu), choose system, then superuser mode. A cli or terminal will open. Try the following command that will specify amongst other information your graphic driver:

Code: Select all

root@porteus:~# lspci
00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Memory Controller Hub (rev 07)
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 07)
...

...
00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 07)
...

So, in my case it is the:
Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 07)

Or post the results of lspci.
