Package: debian-live
Severity: normal

Unlike other live isos (ubuntu, fedora, grml, system rescue), Debian-live isos
will not boot on a multiboot usb drive using grub2. This is well documented
from internet where  every Debian help group reports this fact. It is quite
frustrating (and time-consuming) not being able to boot Debian-live isos (6.0.3
-live-amd64-desktop.iso, 6.0.3-live-i386-desktop.iso), while live isos from
other linux distributions can readily boot.

Debian live begins to boot via grub2, but half-way through boot, it hangs for
two/three minutes and then leaves grub, stating that live iso could not be
found.

The following is my grub2 menu entry (one of about a hundred that I wrote):

menuentry "debian 64 bit live" {
  loopback loop /boot/Debian/debian-live-6.0.3-amd64-gnome-desktop.iso
  linux (loop)/live/vmlinuz  live-media-path=/boot/Debian/debian-
live-6.0.3-amd64-gnome-desktop.iso --
  initrd (loop)/live/initrd.img

I have another similar menu entry for i386 (which I tweaked repeatedly to no
avail)

I could probably boot a live Lenny iso but I don't want to use an older version
of Debian.

Debian-live works well if I copy usb-hdd img to a usb drive (and persistence
works flawlessly -- better, in fact, than Ubuntu 10.10 or 11.10). The hybrid
iso does not work with persistence (I cannot create live-rw partition --
grparted, fdisk do not recognize that an OS has been installed; they only see
"unallocated space"). But Debian is unbootable in a multiboot system.

Why should Ubuntu, a Debian derivitive, be superior to Debian-live at
multibooting? Why should other distributions make a better live iso than
Debian?

   [ Daniel Baumann ]
   * Only looking at boot.d files if they have the .conf suffix to allow
     putting other files into these places that do not necessarily need
     to be used by live-boot (e.g. documentation).
   * Removing preseed bottom-script, a newly written one is now in live-
     config where this sort of things belong.
   * Removing header in fstab, not required.
   * Removing outdated and broken accessibility script, this will be
     redone in live-config properly.
   * Replacing 'illegal' with better fitting 'invalid' for wrongly
     crafted input examples in live.persist manpage.
   * Consistently using ext4 in all examples, not a mix of ext2 and ext3.
   * Removing user and userfullname variables in scripts/live, they are
     not used here sind live-config anymore.
   * Renaming /live/cow to /live/overlay in anticipation of overlayfs.
   * Using 'persistence' (noun) rather than 'persistent'
     (adjective/adverb) everywhere.
   * Making extraction of the manpage section in manpages/Makefile work
     with multiple dots in the filename.
   * Renaming live.persist to live-persistence.conf.
 .
   [ Tails developers ]
   * Adding support for the findiso boot parameter (Closes: #656135).
   * Fixing findiso argument parsing place to match the existing
     ordering.
   * Removing overkill double-checking of return code in is_mountpoint
     predicate.
   * Fixing brace alignment to follow common code style.
   * Removing leftover directory after unmounting.
 .
   [ Daniel Baumann ]
   * Removing old docs.
   * Merging old changelog into current changelog.
   * Updating toplevel Makefile to work with manpages having multiple
     dots in its filename.
   * Renamling linkfiles option when using persistence to simply link.
 .
   [ Tails developers ]
   * Allow using / as destination in custom mounts.
   * Supress warnings when probing media for persistence.
   * Do not probe the device mounted on /live/image for persistence.
   * Fix typo to make home-sn snapshots work again.
   * Only try copying snapshots if we actually found any.
