Re: live-image jessie?
Eric,
- What version of live-build did you use? To build jessie live images,
please use live-build from jessie.
- Did you start from a clean working directory? The live-image
.gitignore hides stale configuration files and links that caused
problems for me when switching distribution.
- Are you building on a filesystem that supports exec and devices? Not
tmpfs or vfat.
- What error did you see?
I was able to build jessie xfce4-desktop amd64 to my satisfaction. The
build was hosted on sid amd64. I used live-build 4.0.3-1 with the
commands listed below. For me the process took about 20 minutes and,
IIRC, something like 6 GB of storage, with downloads over ADSL2+.
Notes:
- the --distribution option defaults to jessie and is not needed for
live-build 4.0.3-1 (I like to be explicit)
- the --memtest option enables memtest86+, which is now disabled by
default and thus missing from the official live images for jessie:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=783741
-- the --source option disables building of the source iso, which for
some reason is enabled for amd64
- the --mirror-* options select my preferred mirror; note that the
documentation is out of date with two documented options no longer supported
- the custom package list adds hdparm, which is missing from the
official live images for jessie:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=783664
# as an ordinary user
git clone git://live-systems.org/git/live-images.git
cd live-images/images/xfce-desktop
lb config \
--distribution jessie \
--memtest memtest86+ \
--source false \
--mirror-bootstrap http://ftp.nz.debian.org/debian/ \
--mirror-chroot-security http://ftp.nz.debian.org/debian-security/ \
--mirror-binary http://ftp.nz.debian.org/debian/ \
--mirror-binary-security http://ftp.nz.debian.org/debian-security/
cat > config/package-lists/my.list.chroot <<EOF
hdparm
EOF
# last step must be run as root
lb build
Kind regards,
Ben.

Hello,
Love the scripts and it's done a wonderful job building wheezy iso's.
However I'm having trouble with building jessie. Thinking this just may
be an out of date script I used GIT and tried to build live-image as per
instructions. It failed on testing with no further explanation. Is
there a git image that works building jessie images?
Many thanks
Eric
