1. Working my way back through the thread, post-by-post looking for things I aught to do [to complete the following of all instructions].
2. See
THIS POST by you.
I've completed nearly all of this, so as to get to the point where I have an XFE window displaying the content of the changes.dat save file.
3. "
it is recommended to delete the content of save file which is not in use running DebianDog with No-Save boot option
Er...
Right now I'm running in DebianDog having used the boot option to make use of the changes.dat file in the /mnt/live/mnt/sda5/05-DebianDog folder.
So what should I do now?
I'm guessing I should:
a. Reboot with the new [config+file] changes saved.
b. Boot with the "no save file" option chosen.
c. Again follow your instructions so as to be able to delete ALL of the content of the save file. [all of the previously made/saved changes will then be gone]
d. Reboot, and boot in using the save file this time.
e. Repeat the following of your instructions.
This time the changes made will be going into [added to] a save file that is empty.
f. At shutdown/reboot those new changes will be the only content of the save file, yes? Can you confirm?
4.
Now back here in "no save file" mode.
a. Deleted ALL content in /media/+media+sda5+05-DebianDog+changes.dat
Will now reboot into "use save file" mode.
b.
Back in "save file" mode. [I hope; beginning to lose track]
Hmm, having repeated your instructions there is lots of content displayed in the /media/+mnt+live+mnt+sda5+05-DebianDog+changes.dat file.
I will leave as-is and wait for your further instructions.
c. Will reboot into "save file" mode to see if the changes are present [permanent].
5.
Back yet again in "save file" mode.
a. "
XFE->cnahges.dat->Properties->File Assiciations-> In Open (white field) type there mnt-img->click Accept button"
This change hasn't been saved! i.e. It isn't permanent. Not persisting to every "save file" session.
Should it be permanent?
Ah, having rebooted a couple of times in "save file" mode, and made the change, it is now permanent [see 5c below].
b. I'll move an icon [its location on the desktop] and see if it is still in that location when I come back in using "save file".
Back in, and the icon is still located where it was placed, so that's OK.
c. Checked "XFE->cnahges.dat->Properties->File Assiciations-> In Open (white field)", and "mnt-img" is there [permanent], so that's OK.
6.
I notice:
a. When booting into "save file" mode, it's reported that the save file wasn't dismounted cleanly at previous shutdown.
b. The firewall [Firehol] is disable in "etc/default/firehol".
I've just now edited the content of that file so it now looks thus:
Code: Select all
#To enable firehol at startup set START_FIREHOL=YES
START_FIREHOL=YES
#If you want to have firehol wait for an iface to be up add it here
WAIT_FOR_IFACE=""
i.e. I changed START_FIREHOL=NO to START_FIREHOL=YES.
