Just tested with beta7-backup iso and there is a mounting issue after rebooting.

Keywords: 6.0 added; beta 6 alternate removed

I tested with all iso creation methods, dist, backup, dist without autologin. All produce the above errors

comment:3 by kalxas, 12 years ago

ok the errors in remastersys and chroot method are different after testing both. Mounting /run and / problem is not present in chroot method.

So after all this must be a remastersys error.

The problem with the alternate iso seems to be fixed now: http://aiolos.survey.ntua.gr/gisvm/dev/osgeo-live-mini-build8638.iso http://aiolos.survey.ntua.gr/gisvm/dev/osgeo-live-build8638.log

Just be careful NOT to create a "user" account during installation because that breaks lightdm (user is created during setup to help our current installation scripts).

confirmed to be fixed in beta8-alternate. We can now actually ship a working iso.

This only applies to remastersys method now

Milestone: OSGeoLive6.0RC1

Since we are now planning releasing through chroot method this is not a blocker anymore.

Hi,

remastersys is just a couple of bash scripts.

to view/compare them, download (install) the .deb in the VM, then:

 mkdir remastersys
 cd remastersys
 ar x /var/cache/apt/archives/remastersys_3.0.3-1_all.deb
 tar xzf data.tar.gz
 tar xzf control.tar.gz

copy of that here: http://bambi.otago.ac.nz/hamish/livedvd/remastersys_deb_3.0.3-1_all.tgz

Milestone: OSGeoLive6.5

After being unable to get the remastersys build script working in time for our 6.0 release, we have switched to using the chroot method. As such, I'm changing the milestone for this issue to 6.5.
