USB drive read-only after rebooting Puppy Linux

Post by LANdpLAN »

Trying to make a.zip file of something on a usb hard drive and with a program that starts with "P"... something and it froze.
I killed the process and rebooted.
now whenever I plug in the usb drive I get

Error saving pinboard /root/Choices/ROX-Filer/PuppyPin: Read-only filesystem

I was able to boot into Linux mint and read files but not write. I changed the permissions so now I can write to disk in Linux Lite but still have the same problem when I try to access it with puppy linux.

It seems your Puppy linux is reading the pupsave file (your actual session and preferences) from a read only filesystem, so it can read it but not write any changes.

If you was changing permissions with another Operative System, I'd try to boot a new session ignoring previous pupsave files, and create a new pupsave file.

Is this the same drive you have BookwormPup64 10.0.9 installed on and try to boot it from?

That error seems to be a save file/folder access error.

Is the save on the drive you boot from?

The things you do not tell us, are usually the clue to fixing the problem.

This is not what I expected :o
