Hi all,

There is this final major issue before we ship OSGeo-Live 6.0 RC:
https://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo/ticket/974

I have just tested mini-iso created with backup method. During installation on a VBox VM there was no error report, no sign of failure, everything worked fine. During first reboot though, there is a series of errors about failing to mount /run , /boot , /{some disk UID} etc and this leads to a frozen system. I suspect that remastersys records the original VM disk UID somehow and this causes this failure.

I am now going to test installing from the default mini-iso (created with dist method) and report back.

Regards,
Angelos


I managed to have a contact with the remastersys developer:
http://www.remastersys.com/forums/index.php?topic=2508.0

We are trying to solve this, hopefully soon.


Unfortunately this has not been solved yet.

On the remastersys front we are out of ideas since I created a build with GDM replacing Lightdm, as Alex suggested. For this new build, autologin didn't work (expected since gdm was not configured to do so) but VM and Live session looked good. But after installing the iso to a VM the same mount issue is still there.

I have run out of ideas. I have created more than 20 builds over 3 different machines in the last days to make sure it was not a server failure of some kind. I have even tried creating a remastersys iso of a fresh setup of Xubuntu and still failed, which IMHO shows that remastersys is broken on the installation part.

Chroot method seems to be the answer after all...
