Slackellive-kde-4.14.18
I can't get peristent working.
On reboot I see error:
Live changes not mounted or bad option
After installation on USB stick I did as instructed
Code: Select all
sudo sh install_on_usb.sh --persistent 32 /dev/sdb
and choose 2000 MB
fdisk /dev/sdb1
Code: Select all
Disk /dev/sdb1: 4003 MB, 4003171840 bytes
124 heads, 62 sectors/track, 1016 cylinders, total 7818695 sectors
Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x20ac7dda
This doesn't look like a partition table
Probably you selected the wrong device.
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sdb1p1 ? 3224498923 3657370039 216435558+ 7 HPFS/NTFS/exFAT
/dev/sdb1p2 ? 3272020941 930513678 976730017 16 Hidden FAT16
/dev/sdb1p3 ? 0 0 0 6f Unknown
/dev/sdb1p4 50200576 974536369 462167897 0 Empty
Partition table entries are not in disk order
What could be wrong?

Two days ago i installed slackellive-openbox 32bit in a usb 16GB and created a persistent file 3998MB. It is working fine.
run fdisk -l /dev/sdb and not fdisk -l /dev/sdb1
Code: Select all
djemos[~]$ fdisk -l /dev/sdb
Disk /dev/sdb: 14,9 GiB, 16008609792 bytes, 31266816 sectors
Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disklabel type: dos
Disk identifier: 0x7bf3c1e9
Device Boot Start End Sectors Size Id Type
/dev/sdb1 * 2048 31266815 31264768 14,9G b W95 FAT32
Also be sure usb is not mounted when run install_on_usb.sh. So when plug usb in ypur laptop or pc unmounted from dolphin.
Install_on_usb.sh script is well tested since many editions and is working fine.
Code: Select all
ls -l /run/media/djemos/LIVE/
djemos[~]$ls -l /run/media/djemos/LIVE/
drwxr-xr-x 7 djemos users 8192 May 18 18:54 boot
-rw-r--r-- 1 djemos users 4192206848 May 18 23:24 persistent
df -ah
Code: Select all
/dev/sdb1 15G 5,5G 9,5G 37% /run/media/djemos/LIVE

Silly me I was using install_on_usb.sh from another Slackel version.
Now:
ls -l /media/LIVE
total 2048004
drwx------ 7 me users 4096 May 21 14:53 boot
-rw-r--r-- 1 me users 2097152000 May 22 11:27 persistent
I have used persistent on previous versions. It always worked if done correctly.

Always use the install_on_usb.sh which is inside iso image. You can mount the iso and copy the install_on_usb.sh
Or read this
http://www.slackel.gr/isos/slackel-live/README_INSTALL_ON_USB.TXT
And beware. Do not ever upgrade kernel-packages. You could not boot. Then you have to delete the persistent and create a new one.
