Just joined the conversation .... here is my contribution taken from https://forums.ventoy.net/sendthread.php?tid=75
I have tried to follow the instructions for setting up Ventoy to run Linux Mint 19.3 Cinnamon 64bit with persistence, i.e. including creating persistence.img and a ventoy.json file in a ventoy folder.
When I boot from the USB stick, I can run Ventoy and but I only get one option (I only have one .iso file on the stick) to boot into and run Linux Mint 19.3 ...
However, I get no persistence option in the start-up phase and it clearly isn't running in persistence mode Confused
So what could be wrong?
I an running Ventoy version 1.0.11 - I tried updating to 1.0.12 but it "refused" ... Sad
On the USB stick, I have all the files (config files; script; image file; iso file) on the same partition /deb/sdb1. Is this right?
I notice in some other posts on "persistence", the ventoy.json file has some extra definitions for size etc that are not in the version I used from your notes for setting up persistence ...
I didn't realise you needed a lot of persistence to get persistence working! Tongue
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
David
