After reboot RPI no changes are saved?

[sdetweil]

@Blackmirror i would try sudo shutdown now -r (r=reboot)

I have worried about sudo reboot not saving files, but it has never happened to me… (on 8 different systems with MM running)

I am having this problem of any config changes do not stay after reboot.
I am editing config.js and custom.css like I have for the last year or so.
Any work around?

Having the same issue, if I “sudo reboot” or “sudo shutdown now -r” I loose the changes in my config.js and my custom.css they will not save for some reason. Problem JUST started Monday.
Anyone have a solution?

@Plainbroke-0 ok, i have two instances installed for testing, and today was confused by a similar problem… changes I made didn’t take affect…

I was editing the file in the wrong instance… took me about 15 minutes before I figured it out… so many files open in the editor it only showed the last part of the filename (config.js) not the path

Turned out to be a bad Mem Card must have exceeded the amount of rewrites it was capable of.
Luckily I could just Make an image of the disk and transfer it to a brand new card now I am able to edit again.

Mine was a bad mem card. I created an image of it with win32Diskimager, Now I can just write the complete setup to a new card anytime I need to. In my case it requires a lot of redoing the image since I cant leave well enough alone. Constant changing things on my MagicMirror.
