don't use live-helper from ubuntu, it's not maintained there and thus
outdated.
please install the version from sid (it's just shell scripts, no

your build-process seem to have stopped, you need to give more
information (such as the last messages on the screen before it fails).

the automatic creation of usb images with grub is currently not
supported, use syslinux.
