I'm playing around a little with live-build again (v4.0.3-1 on sid),
with a new folder containing only my previous auto files, but I'm
hitting an error executing lb config. It can't create the
live.list.chroot file.
Looking at the error message (printed below) and the config script, I

Hi,
I'm working my way through the shell scripts for live-build for a
possible patch I may want to attempt to build and submit soon, but first
trying to get to grips with the code base and understanding unix shell
scripting at the same time; I think I may have come across a bug in
doing so, but I'
I didn't look far enough through the script; the same bug is also
present in Print_conffiles().

Subject: [PATCH] Fix chroot_packa
I've been spending time familiarising myself with the code for this tool
over the past few days, and I have a fairly good grasp of it now.
I believe the problem lies within the chroot_archives script, and is
caused by the check on lines 539-547.
Those who already know how the tool works can feel
Package: live-build
Version: 4.0.3-1
The filename of the stage file used in chroot_includes changes between the line
of code that checks for the stage file, which looks for .build/includes.chroot,
and the line which creates the stage file, which creates
.build/chroot_includes, thus nullifying t
Package: live-build
Version: 4.0.3-1
The correct directory for storing apt conf files I believe is
/etc/apt/apt.conf.d. The chroot_apt script correctly saves files there, however
bootstrap_archives and chroot_archives scripts incorrectly (I believe) save
some optional files to /etc/apt/conf.d.
I haven't built a patch specifically for this, but the problem will be
addressed within the much wider restructuring work I'm undertaking.
I expect I'll be done with the restructuring work in a few days time or
so, and I'll be posting that to the list (either directly, or via a bug
report) as soon
Ah, thanks Punky & Anthony for the output, that helps a lot, it prompted

I had a quick look over your patch. You're building it against
live-build 3.x, but since it's a feature improvement not a "critical
bug in core functionality", I believe I'm right in saying that you must
build against live-build 4.x, preferably the debian-next branch, if you

Updated patch attached, fixing both syslinux and now also grub and grub2

Change from -- to --- for kernel command line
If Debian itself provides the requisite accessibility features, then
that covers most of it. There are then at least the following five areas
to be considered in respect to an accesible live CD built with live-build:
1) Use of the live-build tool itself (for building a custom live disc,

Bootloader menu creation needs to create speech synthesis entries (as
available in official install images) for accessibility. The menus
created should also be looked at further to consider other differences
with the ones used in official Debian
Package: live-build
Version: 5.0~a2-1
Aside from improving the bootloader menus, reported separately, other
enhancements may be desirable, such as a 'make-accessible' parameter,
which would automatically include an additional set of packages, and set
them to load on boot/login, making it much easi
Just to add something quickly: every entry in the bootloader menu
specifies a particular kernel, either the normal one or the graphical
one, and a set of kernel parameters. The speech synthesis option in the
install menu of the official install discs uses the graphical kernel,
with video parameters
Additional commit attached to correct the order of appending user
supplied params in grub/grub2 live menu entries, allowing user params to
override defaults.

Reverse order of user kernel
Sorry, I made a mistake in that last message, I'm forgetting that it's
the live menu entries you're interested in, not so much the installer
entries. I've got so much on my mind lately. There is no distinction
between text and graphical menu entries for the live entries, unlike the
installer entrie
f the grub2 bootloader files should be in
/boot/grub/i386-pc which is where it is looking and failing to find the
file, as per the error message seen.
Patch attached.

Fix grub2 bootloading (
Package: live-build
Version: 5.0~a2-1
Reviewing the bootloader menu creation code, I have drawn up the
following list of fixes and improvements needed. Some of these I have
already reported and supplied patches for separately, but I'm listing
them here again to provide a comprehensive set of issue
Additional issue:
#20) grub2 looks in wrong location (binary/live instead of binary/boot)
when LB_INITRAMFS is not live-boot or casper.
I have built patches for 14/20 issues now, will upload soon.

@Daniel, In regards to issue #17 (of bug #775322) I had a brief
discussion with Steve McIntyre [1] who feels that support for
grub-legacy should be ditched. Would you be happy with that? If so, I
can add a commit to the set of bootloader improvements I am composing
under this bug report to implemen
Additional issue:
#21) syslinux looks in wrong location (binary/live instead of
binary/boot) when LB_INITRAMFS is not live-boot or casper.
Same issue as #20, but affecting syslinux here and resulting from a
related mistake with a different case structure and variable, which is
out of line with oth

No problem, I will upload the first batch of work soon,

Trying out a gnome-desktop based live image to investigate the 'live'

Ok, here is the first set of patches. Attached is an archive with a set
of commits that cover issues #1-8, 10-11, 13-16, and 20-22.
These have been built on top of the debian-next (5.x) branch.
#17 is being ignored, I'm not going to spend any further time on
grub-legacy, and hopefully if Daniel (
menu structure to 'installer options' > 'install with
speech synthesis' easier (pressing 'i' then 's')).
