[Solved] ro-mode-init not working

@Pingaeir

First thing I notice is that both gateway and workstation take an age to shutdown now (like 2minutes).

Inefficient to discuss multiple issues in 1 forum thread. Please create a separate forum thread for that one.

@Pingaeir

just boot into the grub one rather than ro-mode

This description is too inaccurate. Can only guess what you mean.

You’re expecting the the grub boot menu

To switch to Live mode automatically?

Since grub-live is installed by default now I guess this causes confusion to co-install ro-mode-init. The second grub boot menu entry should not be there.

This might be fixed in git master. Whonix live mode / amnesia / amnesic / non-persistent / anti-forensics - #206 by Patrick

@Pingaeir

whenever I reboot it does not autoboot into live-mode which is the main thing I want.

ro-mode-init does not yet automatically run:

 sudo update-initramfs -u

@Pingaeir

the tick is in the system tray and from reading the wiki that only happens in the grub version

ro-mode-init: Live Mode Indicator not working

@Algernon When running with ro-mode-init I noticed the taskbar icon is unable to recognize that live mode was enabled (I tested it to be fully functional). Does the indicator only work for the grub method or is it supposed to see both?
