Bug#702226: live-installer hangs when starting installation from live system
Praveen,
What this comes down to is the b4 version of the image was inadvertently
built with extra material from sid due to an error in configuration (it
was intended that only the live-* packages be included from sid). This
problem was fixed in rc1, but that meant that it used all wheezy
versions of packages (including the newly migrated live-* packages), but
we missed that debian-installer-launcher in wheezy is at version 13,
whereas version 14 from sid is required, so rc1 regressed because it now
uses the version from wheezy. I will file an unblock on
debian-installer-launcher 14 when I have a moment to review a debdiff.
If you download and install version 14 from
http://packages.debian.org/sid/all/debian-installer-launcher/download
inside the running live system, then you should be able to at least
start the installer. I just tested this in Virtualbox on the i386
lxde-desktop flavour and it worked fine for at least the first several
screens.
However, when I aborted the install, it left the desktop frozen (clock
and other indicators stop moving and the keyboard and mouse are
unresponsive). This is a topic for a different bug, though, which I will
file when I have a spare moment.
Ben
