Re: Failure to build Jessie with MATE
I think I have just figured it out, only because of having to copy and paste configs over. My package lists are derived from my 3.x configs and at the top of the file is a line that starts with "# /usr/share/live/build/package-lists/". This must have been from when 3.x in development (when I first started using Live Build) and I have not removed it. It seems Live Build 4.x doesn't recognise # as a comment, even though Live Build 3.x did, so it reads the file as is and expects a file path to actually lead to a file even though the line is commented out. In the morning I will remove that line, start a totally new build and see what happens. You may wonder why I haven't sent this with the configs etc inline as you suggested. This email was huge with all the configs and the build log. Well in excess of 5000 lines, I have been able to attach files before but have never had to attach anything so big. It may help if the list software allowed larger attachments.

Re: Failure to build Jessie with MATE
That was the problem. I built an iso and am now about to test it to see if it will install. Why does Live Build no longer see comments at the beginning of a file?

Preseed\Livecd issue
I¹ve run into a few small snags that has me perplexed currently, and I hope someone can lend a hand. My live-build completes, and the ISO boots. Once the Live session has started, this is where I see two strange behaviors. 1. The desktop icon for the debian-installer-launcher that I have used for many past build no longer appears on the livecd desktop. 2. When I DO launch the debian-live-installer from the livecd (as the icon is in the System menu), it launches but does not read ANYTHING from my pressed, but if I boot to the installer or graphical installer, the pressed works exactly as expected. Details: debian-installer-shorcut.desktop file is located: config/includes.chroot/usr/share/applications/debian-installer-launcher.desk top debian-installer-launcher.desktop contents: [Desktop Entry] Version=1.0 Name=Install Lilypad Linux Comment=Install this system permanently to your hard disk Exec=su-to-root -X -c /usr/sbin/debian-installer-launcher Icon=debian-installer-launcher Type=Application Categories=Application;System; StartupNotify=true Terminal=false Preseed.cfg location: config/includes.installer/preseed.cfg Other location tried: config/debian-installer/preseed.cfg config/includes.debian-installer/preseed.cfg config/includes.binary/preseed.cfg (then adding file=/preseed.cfg to boot menu config) When I boot to the livecd and search for the pressed, it is on the livecd, but the desktop link ignores it completely. config/includes.binary/install/preseed.cfg (then adding file=/install/preseed.cfg to boot menu config) When I boot to the livecd and search for the pressed, it is on the livecd, but the desktop link ignores it completely. I do hope someone has some ideas on what I can try next. I have even removed all packages with the exception of desktop-base, and a dm\wm (tried various combinations with no luck). Even with just the basics, I can not get the pressed to be read when booted into the live session, and the desktop icon has just stopped working. Thanks all, and let me know if you need additional details. Thanks. Cheers! Zed (Devin)
Re: Failure to build Jessie with MATE
Maybe copying and pasting has included some characters that are causing issues (that are not exactly visible). I have comments all over the place and they have not caused any issues (begging. Middle, and end of configs) and I am running 4.0.1-1 and 4.0.2 without issues. I¹d try to recreate the config files maybe. Also, if your configs are so long, you could always put your project on GitHub so we can see the configs and then you don¹t have to worry about length of messages. Just a thought. Z From: "Michael ."

Re: Failure to build Jessie with MATE
I suppose it is possible Zed. The configs aren't big the build log is though and that is where you see the error report. Anyway I have fixed it now and installed a minimal Jessie MATE onto my little emachine netbook. Your suggestion about Github is excellent. My project is already on Github so I will use that next time. Cheers.

Re: Preseed\Livecd issue
Thanks so much for asking this. Now I have Live Build working in Jessie I am about to start on preseeding so I am interested in any helpful replies you get. I want to preseed language/country and keyboard (nothing much) when the image is installed to the computer so the user doesn't have to wade through a list of English speaking countries (di defaults to the USA for English and Australia is at the other end of the list). Sorting out the preseed contents is done I just need to know where to put it for it to work On 5 October 2014 10:23, Zed wrote: > I’ve run into a few small snags that has me perplexed currently, and I > hope someone can lend a hand. > > My live-build completes, and the ISO boots.

Re: Preseed\Livecd issue
Well, I have my preseed in the config/includes.installer directory. It is picked up and read perfectly when I boot the iso into Install or Graphic install just not when I boot into live. Also, if you want the debian-installer available from your livecd, you need to install the debian-instller-launcher. Even though the launcher isn¹t reading the pressed, the installer works well.

Re: Preseed\Livecd issue
With regards to the installer I don't have it in the Live image. I have decided to encourage people to try it and if they want to install they can reboot and choose the install menu from syslinux.
