Hello 1. I was using live-build 3.0.5-1 from Debian Wheezy. I try to use link persistence and have a problem at boot. The directory (or symbolic link I assume) /live/persistence is not created so my persistent and linked file targets a missing file). Manually creating /live/persistence according to my persistence partition solves this problem. (If i'm not wrong live-build 3.x is not supported anymore, so this is just a notice). I m checking if this bug still exists in 4.x version.
2. So rather than writing a hook to handle this problem, I tried to use latest live-build. I created a 4.0~a20-1 package and tried to build a wheezy live system on an empty tree with this config : lb config noauto \ --archive-areas "main contrib non-free" \ --binary-image tar \ --bootappend-live "boot=live config noeject noautologin persistence console=ttyS0,115200n8 console=tty1 ip=frommedia" \ --chroot-filesystem squashfs \ --debug \ --distribution wheezy \ --system live \ --verbose Build system i Wheezy amd64 and the output log is : [2013-07-10 14:56:40] lb binary_iso [2013-07-10 14:56:40] lb binary_netboot [2013-07-10 14:56:40] lb binary_tar P: Begin building binary tarball... tar: live-image-amd64.: Cannot stat: No such file or directory tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors P: Begin unmounting filesystems... P: Saving caches... Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done So is this a (known) bug ? Is there a workaround ? Building hdd or iso image works so I assume I could build an iso/hdd image then mount it to build a tar by myself. Thanks in advance.
