Salix Live Xfce 14.1 beta1
Re: Salix Live Xfce 14.1 beta1
Persistence won't work with the dd method, because there is no writable partition on the stick, just the image.

This is the exact error I get from Slackel-Live-KDE 64 bit if I try to boot with Persistent.

Then cd to boot/syslinux folder on usb and run sudo sh install_on_usb.sh script to make the usb bootable.
Tried this way and got "usr/bin/startx: line198:can not create tempfile for here document: permission denied :
and ...................... "usr/bin/startx: line215:can not create tempfile for here document: permission denied "
was installed with UNetbootin. There is a persistent partition with several directories like /home/one
which has a file "sh-thd-1065741026" with content:
"add :0 . 9a7b2893306c1ae7e54d75a9a9484a34" w/o quotes.
That is X will not open when booting with Persistent.
Re: Salix Live Xfce 14.1 beta1
I created a fat32 partition occupying the whole stick and copied over the files, then executed the boot-on-USB.sh script. That part must have worked because I get as far as the initial menu. But Salix then fails to boot, with messages saying it is unable to find any directories or /foo/bar/union/sbin/init, etc.
What I did:
All files are executable, so I didn't have the trouble I've had before with not being able to run the script.
This is the same stick and the same image that I successfully booted from using dd.

I tried booting with persistence and normally, no difference. Since others have got further than this, it looks like user error or a local problem - any ideas?
What I did:
Code: Select all
mkdir sdb1 iso
sudo mount -o loop /tmp/salixlive-xfce-14.1-64-beta1.iso iso
sudo mount /dev/sdb1 sdb1
rsync -av iso/ sdb1
cd sdb1/boot/syslinux
sudo ./install-on-USB.sh

Guess the problems you and others have is the result of the new way of making LiveCDs. "./install-on-USB.sh/com" were made bij JRD for the previous "SALT" system not for the new "SLM" system.
I got also a problem since with SALT there was a separate Salixlive directory containing ao the /modules and /option directories. Now these directories are under /boot.
Hope this makes you think...
Re: Salix Live Xfce 14.1 beta1
I had to edit my earlier post reporting that I successfully did a uefi boot. I checked it out again and notice that my desktop system uses CMS mode, which allows booting into either UEFI or legacy mode. I am starting to think that there is a problem with the recent salix iso's as I cannot get a usb sticks to uefi boot on both my laptop and desktop.

Re: Salix Live Xfce 14.1 beta1
install_on_usb.sh has changes to work with SLM as you call it. If you were examine the code you could see that.ikke wrote:Did my own "poor man's install" without any problem, since I am booting from a pre-installed grub legacy.mimosa wrote:Since others have got further than this, it looks like user error or a local problem - any ideas?

Look for $/mntdir/boot/liveboot file.

You don't do it as i told.
1. copy everything from iso image to usb.
2. enter into usb boot/syslinux folder
3. sudo sh install_on_usb.sh
4. cd ~/
5. umount usb
6. reboot and boot with usb
on step 3 also use sudo sh bootinst.sh. This is also working and i prefer it than install_on_usb.
I have checked these scripts they are working.
I did not checked install_on_USB.cmd and bootinst.bat because i don't have a window system.
Try both under windows and report.

I did not checked usb sticks with uefi as i don't have a system. But they are working fine on legacy mode.laprjns wrote:I had to edit my earlier post reporting that I successfully did a uefi boot.

But since iso image boot on uefi and usb frugal install has the same usb might working. But i cannot tell.

this is strange since there is install_syslinux batch label.jsalpha2 wrote:Booted over to Windows and tried the install_on_USB.cmd and got
