I have my /boot/config/go script modified to execute a BASH script located in /boot, which worked fine while on v6.7.2. Since upgrading to v6.8.2 I now get a "permission denied" error. The script in question is owned by root:root but does indeed only have "rw" permissions. I have executed "chmod u+x" on the script but the permissions do not change.

 

Any pointers on what is needed in order to be able to allow the "go" script to execute my script?

Instead of:

 

/boot/your.script

use

bash /boot/your.script

 

 

There is a security feature that doesn't allow scripts to be ran from /boot anymore. I'm not sure if @johnnie.black's method will work or not on 6.8.2 but I asked this question a while ago and my answer was you can't/shouldn't be doing that anymore.

It will   This is in fact one of the easy ways to proceed with the new security in place on the flash drive.

 

@johnnie.black's suggestion did indeed work. This issue is resolved.

 

Thank you everyone.  🙂
