persistence plugin does not work for any distro #7

Open fafamnzm opened 2 years ago

fafamnzm commented 2 years ago

ventoy version: 1.0.79

I followed each step on the website for the persistence plugin, however after disabling secure boot in bios and booting up with any of the supported distros, (Kali, Ubunto, Fedora) (each latest version on the time of issue opening), the persistence does not work and after rebooting, all of my data is lost

I have tried with both custom persistence .dat file and prebuilt one.

persistence plugin was used to create the ventoy.json file, so the spelling and destinations are checked and it is as follows:

{
    "persistence":[
        {
            "image": "/ISO/kali-linux-2022.1-live-amd64.iso",
            "backend":[
                "/persistence/persistence_xfs_4GB_persistence.dat"
            ]
        }
    ]
}

  1. Test ubuntu-20.04-desktop-amd64.iso with persistence_ext4_1GB_casper-rw.dat, I have tested it and can confirm it can work.
  2. checksum the ISO file and .dat file as follows before test: https://www.ventoy.net/en/doc_checksum.html
  3. Does it show a prompt menu as follows when you boot the ISO file? image

{
    "persistence":[
        {
            "image": "/iSO/ubuntu-22.04-desktop-amd64.iso",
            "backend":[
                "/persistence/persistence_ext4_1GB_casper-rw.dat"
            ]
        },
        {
            "image": "/ISO/kali-linux-2022.1-live-amd64.iso",
            "backend":[
                "/persistence/persistence.dat"
            ]
        }
    ]
}

this is the new config i checked.

for the kali with the custom 12GB persistent partition, the menu is shown, but after selecting the persistent option in the kali, the data is lost

however, with the ubunto and the persistent recommended, even the prompt is not shown

I checked with Ubunto as recommended, however I believe the distro used in the image preview above is linux mint.

I was wondering, has there been any update regarding this issue and the other one about secure boot?
