Linux settings not saved during reboots
#1
Hello

I am struggling getting xbmc to save changes made to the Linux system between reboots.
Changes made in XBMC gui seems to work fine, and are remembered after reboot.
I am totally new to Linux btw....
What am I missing?

What I have done:
- Installed XBMC live 10.1 to hdd from CD (selected use whole disk, automatic partitioning)
- During installation I was not asked anything about permanent storage

To start with, I want to get my MCE remote working by doing
- sudo dpkg-reconfigure lirc, and select ”Windows Media Center Transceivers/Remotes (all)” + “Microsoft Windows Media Center V2 (usb) : Direct TV Receiver”
- after that restart xbmc "sudo /etc/init.d/xbmc-live stop" + "sudo /etc/init.d/xbmc-live start"
- and now the MCE remote is working fine
BUT after a reboot, lirc is back to the default settings.

Have also tried adding "echo "USB0" > /proc/acpi/wakeup" to /etc/rc.local
and everything looks correct until I reboot, and then the changes are gone.

Weird thing is I can create a new file, and it will be saved during reboots.
sudo touch /etc/test.txt

Any ideas ?

Correction

This might only be lirc specific, as this does work between reboots

Hah, it all comes clear. Seems I just had to do a little writing here to realise myself what was wrong.

Seems I have 2 receivers, one MCE type and one iMON type
Added 'blacklist lirc_imon' to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf and all is good for now.
I had forgotten all about that imon receiver in the enclosure.
