Dyne:bolic - After Nesting Config Saves

[tss]

I nested Dyne:bolic and I still have to enter my Network information everytime. I save the config, but it does not stay.

Also, it only runs at 800 x 600. I can not even see the whole Cinelerra window and I want to use this program.

Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks,

Check the permissions and modified date of dynebol.nst on your hard disk.

Also, when you go to the network config on the initial dynebolic menu do you specifically save your settings and not just apply? Save should save to the nest.

For the screen use the Screen section on the dynebolic desktop to set up the correct res etc and allow it to save the XF86Config file. Then right-click system-change_resolution.

Post back if still probs.

I saved it and applied it and nothing. I will try it again. I will also try the monitor config again. This doesn't seem to work at all for me as no matter what I save and apply I still end up with 800 x 600.

Could this be because I have an ATI card and there are no drivers for it?

Thanks again,

ATI shouldn be a problem.

Monitor info should be saved to /etc/X11/XF86Config

Dunno about the ethernet stuff

I think it wasn't saving anything because my /dyne folder was read only. I will try now to see what happens.

Permissions should be checked when booted up in Dynebolic as that's the system that will read/write to it.

How do I fix the permissions? That is new to me.

Boot up dyne.

open a terminal window

cd /vol/hda1 (I think this is the path to your disk but please check)

ls (to check and see if dynebol.nst is there)

If it is then

chmod 666 dynebol.nst (to give rw access to everyone)

As an addendum, be careful with dynebolic as it runs as root which means you can do all sorts of dangerous things if you're dual booting.
