Hi all, working for ArtistX 0.5 (Sid) on Ubuntu Feisty with Debian Live v.47 I have this two little problems:
- putting a LOT (>2000) .deb in the chroot_local_packages dir stops Live Helper with a "argument too long" error. Same is if I move during the interactive phase all my debs in chroot/var/cache/apt/archives and dpkg -i *.deb. I guess this is not Live Helper related (cp gives me the same error, I have to use nautilus as root...). Workaround: move all necessary debs in chroot's apt cache and then just fire up aptitude in the interactive shell and install ONEbyONE (sigh!) all necessary packages. - My final iso works only in the Virtual World (Vmware Server, Virtualbox....) at Vga 640x480. On ANY other computer I've tried (Laptop Thinkpad T42p, HP63xx series, assembled ones and Desktops: Asus P1, Assembled Athlon....) it will bring me down to a full shell on the live system (not busybox) and I can start X by doing: sudo gdm and then it will work just fine. Workaround: None for the moment (tried to install sequentially or all together mdetect, discover1, acpid with no luck). Any hints really appreciated, I wasn't seeing this on older ArtistX releases. I'm starting thinking again to a GUI (Live Magic is far too complicate for Joe user). No other features except (in any order): - step 1 choose your distro (Stable, Testing and Unstable) - step 2 select & copy three files for graphic customization (splash.png of isolinux, background.png for splashy and debian-blueish-wallpaper.svg for gnome wallpaper) - step 3 launch aptitude and let he user add software - step 4 interactive shell - step 5 chose distro name, hostname, username and pwd (ArtistX in the isolinux menu and as the username and hostname) I definitely think this would be a success between distro customizers and a great occasion to sponsor Debian Live and bring it to the attention of Linux users. How long would it take to do a such thing in GTK? How much would it cost? Is it possible to sponsor it? Any guys willing to collaborate on this?...........
