synaptic-pkexec fails in live wheezy environment

2012-04-24 Thread Daniel Ellison
Does anyone have an idea why synaptic-pkexec would fail when run in a 
debian wheezy live environment, but if I install the system to HD from 
the same ISO synaptic-pkexec works fine?


When run from a terminal in a live environment:

$ synaptic-pkexec
Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 keyInvalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 key
(synaptic:2429): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: 0:0

Same result with "sudo synaptic-pkexec". But if I install from the ISO 
with which I ran the live environment, synaptic-pkexec works fine.


Wheezy ISO built with: live-build 3.0~a46-1
Synaptic version in ISO: 0.75.9

/usr/share/polkit-1/actions/com.ubuntu.pkexec.synaptic.policy exists in 
both the live and installed environments.


Running synaptic-pkexec from the command line in an installed 
environment prompts for a password then starts synaptic.

A Debian Wheezy-based release of SyrinxOS, my Linux distribution created with live build

2012-04-24 Thread Daniel Ellison

Hi all,

I've finally released a Wheezy version of SyrinxOS, my Debian-based 
Linux distribution built with the live build tools. You can read all 
about it here:


http://journal.syrinxos.com/post/21722417863/syrinxos-debussy-2012-04-24-wheezy-released

Thanks, as always, to Daniel Baumann and Ben Armstrong for their help on 
this mailing list. Also, a nod to Tim Gibbon for getting me on the right 
track to circumvent a bug I was experiencing.


Regards,
Daniel

Squeeze point release (6.0.5)

2012-04-24 Thread Adam D. Barratt
Hi,

6.0.5 is somewhat overdue now and I've been procrastinating over
organising it for a while.  So before I find something else to distract
myself with, some suggested dates:

May 5/6: Probably doable; would mean we need to close p-u-NEW over the
coming weekend.

May 12/13: York BSP.  Probably not the best time for CDs, given that
Steve would be at the wrong end of the country.  (As will I, but that's
less of an issue)

May 19/20:

May 26/27:

Thoughts / comments?

Regards,

Adam

Is there a way to shorten rebuild after only changing config/chroot_local-includes?

2012-04-24 Thread Loving, Kent
I'm doing lots of rebuilds, but all I change between builds is the contents of  
config/chroot_local-includes.

On my machine each build takes about 15 minutes, most of which seems to be 
during the bootstrap and package installation. Building the squashfs and 
binary-hybrid.iso isn't long.

I've tried deleting .stage/chroot_local-includes and running lb 
chroot_local-includes, which seems to get me part way there. But I can't coerce 
the system into rebuilding the squashfs and iso. Seems the pieces that do those 
jobs are dependant upon some apt sources, or need to be done inside a chroot.

I'm using live-build 2.0.12

Possible, but not ideal for me.

Not a *major* problem for a point release, but it will slow down the
CD release until I can test.

>May 19/20:

Works for me.

>May 26/27:

No chance, I'll be in Hong Kong on a work trip!

Can I put "nonetworking" into /etc/live/boot.conf instead?
