fail to make it persistent

[Solarodos]

"Finally, copy the persistence.conf in this partition and you're done... you can now reboot a enjoy the full persistence :o)"

fail to do so, because I'm not alowed to writh in the partition:
"/media/user/persistence can't be written to!"
What am I doing wrong?

[Solarodos]

something more to add!
to copy the image to de usb drive i've used "rufus" because if I use "cp" I get a permission denied. if I use "dd" asks me for the password witch I can't write on the terminal. in fact, after asking for the password, pressing any key results in nothing on the terminal.
What could it be?

Hi, if you have permissions denied, you may try to use sudo, ie:

sudo cp persistence.conf /media/user/persistence/

[Solarodos]

thank you a lot! unfortunely: "cp: cannot stat 'persistence.conf': No such file or directory"

I'm no techie, I even can't write code, but I'm learning...
This is how I've managed to get my io.linux in a 8gb pen drive with persistence.

First of all, I've used gparted to make two partitions in the pen drive. The first one, with 3.84gb is where I've installed io.linux. I've used Rufus to do it because I've failed to copy the iso to the USB using cp or dd. The other, 3.62GB to be formatted to ext3 labeled persistence

Next, I've created a mount point, mounted the new partition there, and then create the configuration file to enable persistence. Finally, unmount the partition.

(see gparted for the designation of the usb drive)
supposing the usb drive for the installation has the given name "sdb3"

mkdir -p /mnt/my_usb

mount /dev/sdb3 /mnt/my_usb

echo "/ union" > /mnt/my_usb/persistence.conf

umount /dev/sdb3

I don't know why, I couldn't do it with sudo but I've managed to succeed with sudo -i

And that's it! Now I have my io.linux with persistence.

"To not display this getting started again, go to:
(Main Menu) Settings > All > Apps > Startup Applications

in the Order's tab, remove io Manual"

-not exactly!

Go to:
(Main Menu) Settings > All > Apps > Startup Applications

in the Order's tab, remove init-session
That's it! It removes the manual and the installer shortcut to.

I understand the frustration you're facing with the error message "/media/user/persistence can't be written to!" indicating a lack of permissions to write to the partition. To resolve this, ensure you have appropriate administrative privileges, check file system permissions, use "srd status check" to elevate privileges, and remount the partition if it's read-only. If the issue persists, seek assistance from knowledgeable individuals or consult relevant support resources. Understanding file systems and permissions will aid in effective troubleshooting.
