Re: save2session is looking for sdc, but my disk is at /dev/sdb
I backed up my files and gave it a try. Perhaps something went awry behind the scenes, but I don't have any problems o report. Chancing sdc to sdb in the BOOTSTATE file seems to have worked flawlessly. Thank you. Rather than saving the MULTI_DEVICE variable, it would seem to be better to find the dr...

Re: save2session is looking for sdc, but my disk is at /dev/sdb
Thanks step. I did already try a lot of plugging and unplugging to try to get it back on sdc, but nothing seems to get sdc anymore in this session.
Despite your warning, it sounds like changing MULTI_DEVICE is probably my best option. Why is that unpredictable?

save2session is looking for sdc, but my disk is at /dev/sdb
How should I move it to sdc? I actually lost some data because this happened once before and when I saved my session it silently failed to write anything.

Re: Custom sandbox resolution
followup: I tested it with a declared ip of 10.0.0.1 but the second sandbox, which requires me to set the resolution after loading does not list the custom resolution if it is opened while the first sandbox is running. The IP had no impact. I can open the second sanbox with a custom resolution first...

Re: a suggestion about save2flash if save media is not connected

Re: Custom sandbox resolution
Thanks. That's handy, but I'm noticing that it should only conflict 1/255 of the time or so. I suspect it may be something else because I tried it a bunch of times before I found a workaround that I am about to share.

Re: How to run Discord?
Thank you. If anyone else is doing this, the shell commands provided do not go in the sandbox-lxc.sh file. They should be run within the sandbox manually.
After creating /dev/shm I ran
Code: Select all
chmod 1777 /dev/shm
because that was advised by the Discord app.

a suggestion about save2flash if save media is not connected
On a few occasions I have powered down without first plugging in the drive where my save file resides sdc2. Fatdog doesn't prompt the user to remind them to plug it in, it pretends to save and then shuts down. A warning would be better. A related issue is if I click the save session button without c...

I guess that if I create a larger savefile and copy the old contents to the new one then it will work. Is that the proper way?

Re: using the sandbox
@JakeSFR
hmm, I think the contents of file are the output from ls presented as file contents through the pipe. Each line is grabbed by xargs and fed into sed which is printing the list of filenames into a temporary file by the next step.
