Hi there! I am trying to compile a live CD/USB system with lxde and a collection of tools, which I often use for data analysis.
First I used the web frontend and produced a squeeze lxde iso image. (That's a great idea and promotes linux live systems very well!) Unfortunately the gdm is installed, too. While booting that results into a conflict with the lxde autologin session. I've started to build live systems locally with my own package list. Today I've installed live-helper_2.0~a16-1_i386 . (Yes, I've rebuilt the config directory from scratch with lh config.) I do something like: lh config \ -r live.debian.net \ -d squeeze \ -p lxde \ --mirror-bootstrap http://ftp.nz.debian.org/debian/ \ --mirror-chroot http://ftp.nz.debian.org/debian/ \ --mirror-binary http://ftp.nz.debian.org/debian/ \ --username labgroup \ --hostname labhost \ --cache-packages true \ --cache-indices true\ --debian-installer false \ --apt-recommends false \ --memtest none \ --archive-areas "main contrib non-free" Without the "--apt-recommends false" option I got the same conflict with gdm (well, the web builder uses the same version...) Unfortunately the --hostname and --username parameters have no effect. Furthermore, the instructions to change the password are outdated. I've modified the hook script suggestion from the manual as follows: (seems to work...) plain_password="cheers bro" password=$(echo "${plain_password}" | mkpasswd -s) sed -i -e 's/\(_PASSWORD=\)\(.*\)/\1\"'${password}'\"/' /lib/live/config/002-user-setup With "--apt-recommends true", lxde works fine, but I run into other problems, which I did not experience before: I want to use hdfview, which will install openjdk-6-jre-headless, but that fails, here the lh build output: Setting up openjdk-6-jre-headless (6b18-1.8-1) ... the java command requires a mounted proc fs (/proc). dpkg: error processing openjdk-6-jre-headless (--configure): subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 Does anyone know how to fix that? During all the tests, I used several directories to build different live systems and compared them. I would suggest to have an option to use a single package cache directory Cheers, Achim -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-live-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
