How does persistence work in Kali Linux?
How does Live USB Persistence work in Kali? In the boot menu, I can easily select the "Live USB Persistence" option and run and use the system, but after I restart the system, changes in system settings won't be preserved, as they should in persistent systems. How to switch the persistence on?
P.S. I would like to ask on the official Kali forum, but the forum is apparently closed to new users, activation e-mails are no more sent, that's why I post my question here. |
Persistence needs a separate partition on the device to store changes to work.

I have the persistent partition on the Live USB flash drive, but I don't know how to make the system to store the changes there.

Did you make the persistence.conf file owned by root? The Kali forum has some pages were people talk about it not working and the steps they took to fix it.

We have two stickies on Kali, FYI, which address my point above: https://www.linuxquestions.org/quest...ad-4175614092/ https://www.linuxquestions.org/quest...rs-4175633618/ In fact that entire argument can be summed up in one line from this thread: Quote:

So what do you do? Use a distro like Ubuntu or Mint which are designed for daily use. If you want something a little bit more challenging than those, try Debian/Devuan. |
I've used this method for Debian:
