It should not matter what it was before, but I just mention it to be Was an empty fat formatted media before I overwrote it with dd (I think With dd also keeps the content of home as I expected. Sorry I forgot to report back, my 2GB usb created from live gnome 12.1 > USB (language settings, wallpaper settings) and that is in ~. > my settings from my playing around with gnome 3 where persistent on the > of the /home for persistence, but it should also be persistent since all > dd, I can check this evening (german time) since I did not test contents I do not know if dd_rescue makes the difference, I use myself plain old
MAKE GPARTED LIVE USB PERSISTENT FREE
I am unsure of its required size, but the suggestion seems to be 512 MB of unpartitioned disk space to be free on the Thumb Drive before the settings are saved the first time. All disk sace can not be used on the USB thumb drive, but free space enough to create a separate partition must exist. As far as I know, you would have to create your own distro using SuSE Studio and add this in as a default setting from Grub on startup, but I have never tried to do that. Without this kernel load command it does not look back. So, if you type in kiwi_hybridpersistent=yes, as a kernel load option before you press the enter key in the Grub OS selection menu, it should find the persistand file and load it or create it outside the protected area and maintain it with settings when used. If it only has a CD's worth of read-only space, how does it create the persistent store? System Monitor thinks it is a CD-sized CD and gparted thinks the device is completely unallocated.
MAKE GPARTED LIVE USB PERSISTENT ISO
Ditto for editing the ISO by opening it in File Roller or Nautilus and trying to edit the file or overwrite it.Įven worse, I've just looked at the USB stick in Gnome System Monitor and gparted.
I've tried editing syslinux.cfg, but the USB stick pretends to be a CD and so isn't writable. To a LiveCD on a USB stick so it always has the persistent OS? It doesn't seem to be auto-detected (or it didn't work when I tried it at boot time) because a second boot without the option didn't keep the settings changes I made (like putting it on a sensible UK keyboard format).
