I made some syntax mistake in the bamt.conf file and the gpumon doesn't start (I get that funny error message), so I wanted to edit the file at etc/bamt/bamt.conf but.. why do I have writing permission disabled? I'm logged as a root and did not change any permissions, only thing I did was set a password. Any ideas?
I had the Live/Image locked as read only for some reason once too... That it readable by windows, so I plugged it into windows and deleted the file I needed to and then it was mount read-write next time I booted BAMT... However, since you want to edit the /etc/bamt/bamt.conf, Windows wont e able to read that... in that case, here are some things to try... might not be the best answer, but would give you something to do until someone else answers... I assuming you are using a USB drive? If so:
Do you have another box running BAMT? If so, you can stick the USB drive in there and try to edit the file....
If not, do you have a spare USB drive? If so, you can load another BAMT default image on it to boot the computer, then stick your other drive in and modify the file.
Finally, a more complicated way if you only have one rig and one USB drive.... you could download vmware player (free) and load some small version of linux on it (I used Puppy slackware since its pretty small), and plug the usb drive into your computer and you should be able to modify it from there.
You can utilize the FROM and TO directories in windows to edit/modify the bamt.conf file.
they can be found at \BAMT\CONFIG
FROM = the existing bamt.conf used on the image.
TO = the bamt.conf the image will pull to use on next mine start
\BAMT also contains 2 other useful directories. CONTROL and STATUS. All described in the readme.txt in the \BAMT directory.
You'll need to use an editor on windows that doesn't add a CR/LF to the end of the line, or use a hex editor.
