Re: [SOLVED] Some issues with live-build 2.0.7-1 in ubuntu mode

[Robert Key <robertkey@telkomsa.net>]

I have solved the issues with using ubuntu mode and the debian installer 
as follows:

1. lb_binary_debian-installer changes required:

The script 
/usr/share/live/build/scripts/build/lb_binary_debian-installer uses the 
wrong name for the linux-image.
It tries to install linux-image-2.6-generic for i386 and amd64. This 
image does not exist.

linux-image-2.6-generic     must become    linux-image-generic

for all casper segments for i386 and amd64.


2. lb_binary_disk changes required:

the line: for INITRD in binary/casper/initrd.img*         should 
read:    for INITRD in binary/casper/initrd*

the line: mv conf/uuid.conf 
"../binary/.disk/casper-uuid${INITRD#binary/casper/initrd.img}"

should read: mv conf/uuid.conf 
"../binary/.disk/casper-uuid${INITRD#binary/casper/initrd1.img}"

These changes for lb_binary_disk are necessary because "initrd1.img" 
gets generated in the casper directory. The build will fail at this step 
if the changes are not made.

By making these changes in live-build-2.0.7-1 and 2.0.8-1 it will build 
live ubuntu images with the debian installer included.
I hope this helps some one as I struggled with building ubuntu images 
for quite a while. A preferable change would be to scrap casper and use 
live-initramfs in ubuntu mode as well.

Thanks, hope this helps,
