Rebuilding Debian Live gnome image fails
Hi all,
I'm trying to build a custom Debian live USB image. To do so, I start
trying to rebuild an original non-modified live image - specifically
from
"https://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current-live/amd64/iso-hybrid";,
the debian-live-10.8.0-amd64-gnome.iso image.
Following the Debian Live manual on using a predefined
configuration(https://live-team.pages.debian.net/live-manual/html/live-manual/managing-a-configuration.en.html#333):
$ mkdir live-images && cd live-images
$ lb config --config
https://salsa.debian.org/live-team/live-images.git::debian
$ cd images/standard
$ sudo lb build
...this works and I get an ISO image in that directory.
But, instead doing this:
$ mkdir live-images && cd live-images
$ lb config --config
https://salsa.debian.org/live-team/live-images.git::debian
$ cd images/gnome-desktop
$ sudo lb build
(note the change in the 'cd' command)
...this does NOT work. The build command starts doing a lot of work,
fetching & installing stuff, but then simply stops at this point
(copy/paste of ~17 lines of build.log):
vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv

No further output, it just quits. Same for cinnamon-desktop, kde-desktop
and lxde-desktop. Comparing build.log from gnome-desktop with standard
doesn't give me a clue to why it stops.
In case it is relevant: I'm building on a Debian Buster 10.8 AMD64
machine, without any desktop (headless machine with ssh access only).
Anyone here with a suggestion how to make "lb build" work for a
gnome-desktop Debian config?
Thanks!
Matthijs
