On an antiX-22-core LiveUSB I have this situation:
>>> # live-remaster antiX Live Remaster live-remaster error : The persistence device with UUID fe57[...]c19f was not found Please plug in the persistence device and try againHowever lsblk clearly shows this device. It is sdb3, with ext4, labeled antiX-persist, UUID fe57[…]c19f, sized 13.5G, used 0% and mounted at /live/persist-dev.
What am I doing wrong?To answer my own question, it seems I was wrong to attempt remaster on a LiveUSB generated just by dd-ing the antiX .iso onto the USB drive. After I created another LiveUSB through the make-live-usb script supplied by antiX, I no longer had any issues.

You “can” create a USB read only image using dd. Typically it will require root/system privileged access. Perhaps that was one issue. Input and output specifications have to be precise too. Generally use only the USB device name, such as /dev/sda and do not include a number.

You’re right that Live USB Maker is easier and it helps avoid unnecessary errors in most common scenarios.

Jumping in here because I get the same error but I did use the Live USB Maker.

Is there a way to delete an uploaded screenshot?
That aside, what’s on here?
I booted an old antiX 23.2 from an USB stick, then used the Live USB Maker to clone the running system to a 2nd stick, did a shutdown, removed the 1st stick and then booted from the 2nd. Persistence was and is set to “p_static_root”. Then I started synaptic and made a bunch of updates in several steps “by hand”, once that was done, I ran the antiX Updater which reported that my system was up-to-date. Yay so far.
Then I tried to use “Set Up Life Persistence” from the Control Centre and got the error above – even though the device exist and is mounted r/w.What am I missing and how can I save the state of the system to the stick?
—-
Also, “Set Up Life Persistence” asks for the “administrative password” (root’s PW) every time, shouldn’t it remember it? I tried both “save for this session” and “save in the keyring”, it still asks every time. Maybe that’s a hint?

The only thing you have to do when you update an already created image with Live USB Maker after making changes is to run
sudo live-remaster. I’ve been doing that for the past several days. If you do not do so, when you reboot your image will revert to whatever it was when you created it, so the live-remaster tool is what saves any alterations and it has to be performed each time you make changes, just before you shutdown or reboot; then you’ll get the results you are looking for. You already created the system to be persistent, but persistence alone does not include changes; persistence includes what you originally created.--

Hmm, trying:
demo@antix1:~ $ sudo life-remaster sudo: life-remaster: command not found demo@antix1:~But typing “li<tab>” as demo shows me a bunch of commands, and life-remaster is among them.
It works when I dosudo su -and thenlife-remasterThank you very much! It’s running now… done, “mksquashfs took 7:21 mm:ss” (with lz4)
(I tried to run “Remaster-Customize Life” from the Control Centre, before I came here to ask for help because I also got the error “persistence device … not found” and then I thought I needed to create a persistence file first, again via the control centre.)
The issue with the password being asked over and over and that I need to do “sudo su -” first instead of “sudo life-remaster” directly feels off, maybe I should start over and not clone the running system, what do you think?
BRB, rebooting…

It worked! Thanks again, Brian Masinick – problem solved an I learned something 🙂

I hope you eventually entered sudo live-remaster rather than life-remaster! 🙂
