tool table saving / retention ( Linuxcnc 2.7.8 )

I'm new to LinuxCNC ( 2.7.8 ). So far my tool table is not saving. Is there any known issue or am I just being a noob and missing something. Maybe its a "permissions" issue ? Maybe the default location for the file is important and it isn't looking in the right place ?

I would expect it to auto retain and load it every time I open LinuxCNC.

Thanks Tommy.

I'll try that but when I just fired it up I was able to save, close linuxcnc, and re-open and it persisted, twice. Maybe I was hitting the re-load table button which caused the issue ? This time I just hit the "save" button and closed the window.

On to other issues... my spindle rpm isn't changing via MDI code or in G-code. Seems to run full speed. However I can vary the speed via the spindle override, which is very proportional ( i.e. : 2% is a very slow and 50 is about half what I'd expect.... 100% is faster than my bearings can handle ). So when I run g-code or MDI code, I have to shut it down quickly or I'll smoke the bearings because it runs at full speed no matter what I tell it to do ( i.e. : M3 S100 ) I'm going to create a new thread to see if someone can suggest whats wrong.
