rc.shutdown in 5.1

[vaza]

I struggled to get 5.01 to shutdown without saving and now the rc.shutdown in 5.1 has changed. I've tried to make similar changes but nothing works. The text in 5.1 is different, the how to I used doesn't cross over.
USB Flash drive install.

I finally got it to work following the rc.shutdown instructions. It now prompts my usb install with a yes or no for save at shutdown. On reboot I always get the improper shutdown prompt, doesn't seem to matter. I always got that message with the other versions.

Can you post instruction for what you did to accomplish this.
Others with an install on a USB stick may like to keep their settings pristine.

In Lucid 5.1.1
Opened the console and type:

geany /etc/rc.d/rc.shutdown

Scroll down about 3/4 of the page. I look for the number 13 on the left side. A few lines below that you should see:


#the above are in unionfs at /.

You need to add text on the next line so it looks like this when you’re done.


#the above are in unionfs at /.
dialog --yesno "Save this session?" 0 0 >/dev/console
if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
echo "Saving session to $SAVEFILE (${SAVEPART})..." >/dev/console
/usr/sbin/snapmergepuppy /initrd/pup_ro1 /initrd/pup_rw
fi

Don’t forget to save your mod when you close geany.
I always get a click through prompt on reboot about improper shutdown or such.
It’s never been a problem, anyone know about that. Curious for sure.
