Please help. I created snapshot in a timeshift. Then I wanted to change theme of grub-menu and updated grub - sudo update-grub, but live mode disappeared! I decided to make a backup in a timeshift, system was restored, but there is no live mode in grub! How can I restore live mode in grub-menu?
Fixed in update released just now.
Update returned live mode to grub. Now, when choosing lives, 2 kernels: 6.1.0-32 and 6.1.0-28 But both kernels do notrun live mode
Live Check Result:
Live Mode Active: No
Persistent Mode Active: Yes
Live mode cannot be launched after updating
Yes. Live mode does not work after update
It is possible your new grub theme changed layout of buttons in menu. Try other buttons
My friends and I lost live mode buttons after update. We are using default kicksecure grub theme. There are only 2 buttons in grub menu now. Reinstall grub-live?
Please provide debug information as per:
Missing grub-live boot menu entry
Meanwhile you can use:
Live Mode without grub-live

You probably have a this symlink /etc/grub.d/11_linux_live /etc/grub.d/09_linux_live. Remove it and try sudo ln -s /etc/grub.d/10_01_linux_live /etc/grub.d/09_linux_live. @Patrick grub-live documentation need an update
Did you use Set grub-live as Default in GRUB boot menu?
This wiki chapter has been updated just now.

Your /boot/grub/grub.cfg correctly lists:
Kicksecure LIVE mode USER (For daily activities.) GNU/Linux
And has a kernel command line with the more complex parameters for initramfs-tools:
boot=live plainroot union=overlay ip=frommedia noeject nopersistence
Any reason to use initramfs-tools?
Note, that migrating to dracut might brick booting. → dracut
Thanks! Live mode appeared in menu after the updates
Thank you, Patrick. I managed to get live mode working.
And I sent a friend who uses Qubes documentation on how to launch live mode without grub-live. I saw on Qubes forum that many people like Kicksecure and want to see live mode in Qubes. This will help them run live mode on fedora, since fedora uses dracut
Qubes is a different story. Might not work. See Qubes ticket:
Oh yeah. I think this problem is not solvable now. I couldn’t find any information on solution to this problem with logs Opt-out logs cleanup on qube removal · Issue #8569 · QubesOS/qubes-issues · GitHub This makes it less secure to run Kicksecure live in Qubes.
