Package: live-config
Version: 5.0~a3-1 Hi, I've been using live-config for a long time to build custom iso images using the following configurations: $ cat /etc/live/config.conf export LIVE_USERNAME="live" export LIVE_USER_FULLNAME="Live session user" export LIVE_HOSTNAME="live" export LIVE_NOCONFIGS="xscreensaver,xfce4-panel,policykit,ssl-cert,update-notifier,anacron,xserver-xorg,openssh-server,gdm3,kdm,lightdm,lxdm,nodm,slim,xinit,gnome-panel-data,gnome-power-manager,gnome-screensaver,kde-services,debian-installer-launcher,login,kaboom" on later update from 5.0~a2-1 to 5.0~a3-1 things went messy Problem is the iso live system boots fine, but doesn't start a getty after the initialization scripts, it just stays there waiting for nothing to happen as shown in the image below: I've also tried switching the kernel and switching the backend to live-config-systemd but that didn't help, switching the initsystem to /bin/systemd from the kernel cmd did work as the system boots up and presents me a login tty, but no live components were configured at all Packages list: acpi 1.7-1 acpi-support-base 0.142-6 acpid 1:2.0.23-2 acpitool

purposes. The method I use to build the iso is by building a small chrooted system with debootstrap, configure the live options, chroot into it, run a couple of scripts to apply some configurations to services (apache, mysql, varnish, ... etc) the package the whole thing in a squashfs along with the generated live initrd, the kernel and syslinux, I use this method to create custom installable snapshots of my VPS clients machines and it has been working for almost 3 years ... I'd be pleased to provide more logs or information
