No 'dont save' option on shut down/leave in new Bookworm ?

[Jamayka24]

How can I access that ? No longer has a Save/Dont save
box at shutdown ...just happens automatically.
I like that as default but sometimes don't want to save.

You have to make a boot menu entry edit, so it will run in pupmode 13.

What boot loader is being used?

How you did the install and to what type drive will tell us.

Give specific details.

This will tell us what boot loader menu config file is being used.
The entry edit needs to be in it.

This is general info on how to do it:

My third install attempt after playing with 2 installs and messing them up.
I made two partitions 5G & 25G on a usb
and used FrugalPup which ignored that and put the OS on a 128 Mb sda1partition
and left 28.5G for sda2,
Sorry- just saw your link-will look and get back in the am- its 11.45pm.
Thanks

Later.....from that link:
In general look for the config file that is providing the boot menu entries.
menu.lst
Syslinux.cfg
grub.cfg

which gave me:

[bigpup]

That is the grub.cfg file you want to edit. (the highlighted one in your image)

But before you do that.

Boot and find out what Pupmode you are already running in.

Pup-Sysinfo program will tell you.
Pup-Sysinfo ->Sys-Files ->Pupstate

What pupmode is reported?

That is normal partition setup for UEFI bios.

You sure the BookwormPup64 OS files are on the 1st partition?
128MB size would not hold them.

Sure the setup is not like this?

1st partition small 100 to 300MB size, formatted fat32, flagged boot, esp.
The boot partition with all the boot loader files on it.
That is all that goes on this partition.

2nd partition rest of the drive, formatted best if ext 3 or 4, with the Puppy OS frugal install(s) on it.
Save file/folders and anything else is placed on this partition.

box at shutdown ...just happens automatically.

Go to Menu -> System -> Event manager -> Tab "Save Session"
Is checkbox "Ask at shutdown whether to save session or not" still checked?
Is "Save interval" set to "0"?

[Jamayka24]

@mochimoppel - yes, set to 0 zero but ghosted/not active

@bigpup - a) you are right -the Pup OS files are on the large partition,
I assume, as you say, only the boot loader is on the first .

b) sysinfo, Pupstate = 12 (10.0.7)

c) Out of my depth here- pls explain- I put your instructions in text editor but nothing,
nothing in terminal either.

" In general look for the config file that is providing the boot menu entries.

menu.lst
Syslinux.cfg
grub.cfg

Open the file in a text editor.
Find the entry you use to boot with.
Look for pmedia=atahd or anything pmedia=

Change this to pmedia=usbflash

Save and reboot using this menu entry to boot.

That should make Puppy run in pupmode 13"

BTW my reason for trying to put the Save file in a separate partition was to protect
it from 'pollution' from my messing around with the OS.
