Inappropriate top entry in debian.cnf causes errors
Good evening- After an lh build command and analyzing the suspect file before the complete iso image build ends, in the debian live directory under chroot/etc/mysql/debian.cnf, the top of the file is corrupted with (literally): fgrep: /etc/mysql/debian.cnf: No such file or directory # Automatically generated for Debian scripts. DO NOT TOUCH! [client] host = localhost user = debian-sys-maint password = xx socket = /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock [mysql_upgrade] host = localhost user = debian-sys-maint password = xx socket = /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock basedir = /usr Needless to say, there are errors printed to the output of the running finished iso image -as tested under VirtualBox. The only way I have gotten rid of the errors is by using a text editor to remove the line: fgrep: /etc/mysql/debian.cnf: No such file or directory an saving the modification -all in the early stage o the lh build process.

lh build does not create a regular user
Good evening-
lh build is not creating (by default) a regular username: user
I have had to follow instructions at (
http://wiki.debian.org/DebianLive/FAQ#Q.3AWhatistheroot.2BAC8-userpassword.3F
):
Q: How do I change root or any user password?
A: Add a chroot local hook script to change root or any user password
each time you build an image.
e.g. config/chroot_local-hooks/01-update_password.sh to set root
password to "nopasswd"
#!/bin/sh
echo "I: update password"
echo "root:nopasswd" | chpasswd
-
$ chmod +x config/chroot_local-hooks/01-update_password.sh
because the directory: "live-bottom" nor file: "10adduser" in the
subsequent instructions do not even exist:
/usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/live-bottom
/usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/live-bottom/10adduser
mkdir -p
config/chroot_local-includes/usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/live-bottom/
cp /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/live-bottom/10adduser
config/chroot_local-includes/usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/live-bottom/
Then edit the
config/chroot_local-includes/usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/live-bottom/10adduser
and paste in the new user_crypted password that you make with echo
"newlivepass" | mkpasswd -s .
Or add an hook file in config/chroot_local-hooks/ with something like the below:
#!/bin/sh
# Change the autogenerated user password to "debianlive"
plain_password="debianlive"
password=$(echo "${plain_password}" | mkpasswd -s)
sed -i -e 's/\(user_crypted=\)\(.*\)\( #.*\)/\1\"'${password}'\"\3/'
/usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/live-bottom/10adduser
update-initramfs -tu -kall
-
The latter (hook model) could be more future proof than the former
solution since it modifies just one string selectively but it requires
the package "whois" to be installed on the target system (for
mkpasswd) or that you generate the $password string not at build time
and include it crypted in the above script.
Best Professional Regards.

Q: Is there a way to specify display size of Debian live image running in VirtualBox?
Good afternoon- I am building/tuning a Linux, Apache, MariaDB, & PHP (LAMP) with a web application. I find that test/running it in VirtualBox the most I can get from an X Window session is 800x600 -no more. It is even worse prior to the X Window initialization (command line): only 640x480. I have used under VirtualBox other GNU/Linux distributions (like OpenSuSE) that allow me to increase the X Window display resolution. Is there a setting in Debian Live that I can set to get say 1024x768 or higher? I checked the running image for the existence of /etc/X11/xorg.conf but there is none. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Debian live binary-hybrid.iso to CD-Media hangs
After much effort bundling a Linux, Apache, MariaDB, PHP, (LAMP), a PHP web application, and creating automatically an database via a init scirpt, I find that burning the binary-hybrid.iso to an CD-media (and subsequently inserting/booting it into another machine) Debian live simply hangs at 1/3 of the way. On the other hand, testing binary-hybrid.iso in my developing machine VirtualBox application works. Anything I am missing... ;D By the way, thank you Daniel for replying to my other questions. -- Jose R R http://www.metztli-it.com - IBM Lotus Symphony supported on GNU/Linux, Mac OS, and Windows. - Daylight Saving Time in USA & Canada starts: Sunday 08 March 2010 - -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-live-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

As I replied to Joseph earlier, the hard copy CD boots appropriately in my developing machine -where the image was created originally. Hence, that leads me to suspect some hardware dependencies from the host might have leaked into the image. How? I do not know. I thought that the live Debian image is supposed to be abstracted from specific hardware where it was created. The following paragraph should be deprecated since there is some Zend in free PHP: like Zend extensions, memory manager, scripting engine, etc. Begin deprecated paragraph-- One thing I noticed earlier (as I was engaged in my efforts) is that in my host developing machine I had some references to repositories of Zend, a proprietary implementation of PHP, and those where inherited by the final live imge even if I *did not* specify those for the live image repositories. End of deprecated paragraph That leads me to suspect that maybe the Debian Live image is not being abstracted enough and perhaps is being tainted by certain hardware dependencies on the local host. using: live-build 3.0~a5+20101004.161858 live-helper 2.0.2+20101002.080418~60squeeze+1 Best Professional Regards > > -- > Address: Daniel Baumann, Burgunderstrasse 3, CH-4562 Biberist > Email: daniel.baum...@panthera-systems.net > Internet: http://people.panthera-systems.net/~daniel-baumann/ > > > -- > To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-live-requ...@lists.debian.org > with a subject of "unsubscribe".

But the issue disappeared when I upgraded to experimental live-build 3.x. Due however to other issues encountered (as well as Daniel's advice) I downgraded to $ lb -v version 2.0.1-1 the user creation issue disappeared (although I am stuck with an machine specific bootable *.iso ;) Try moving the config directory elsewhere (for reference purposes) and/or upgrading to another (experimental) live-build and then downgrading; then lb clean and start all over.

It worked for me. The only problem now is that the resulting image is not hardware agnostic. But again, this is an issue that reveals the lack of maturity of Debian Live builder.

Assuming an user that I *especified* as: "name-of_user", below is how I find it *and* I expect (if I understand the instructions appropriately) to be created in the final image. This is how I would check for its existence in the config/* resources: $ find debian_live/config/ -type f | xargs grep -i name-of_user debian_live/config/binary:# (Default: name-of_user) debian_live/config/binary:LB_USERNAME="name-of_user" Accordingly, if the "name-of_user" is not created in the final image, as it happened in my initial attempts, then something is wrong -with Debian Live scripts, the repositories, who-knows, etc.; but something is wrong.

The target machine has the latest GNU/ Linux Debian Lenny stable installed to its hard drive -as well as Fedora- since its a multi-boot machine. Hence, the default Debian Live build image is 2.6.32.x, then, is probably causing the issue. Nevertheless, what does not make sense is that the hard copy Debian Live CD-media boots appropriately in the Debian Live development host machine but not into other (machine ;) Anyway thanks for your insight, Daniel.

Custom Debian kernel & custom string id naming
Having had issues with debian kernel 2.6.32-x, I have built a couple of kernels in my developing machine: 2.6.34.myStringID and 2.6.36-myStringID (i.e., neither has string 686 or 486). Both installed and working in local machine. Nevertheless, when used to create a Debian Live image the update-initramfs procedure is not executed by the scripts. Accordingly initrd.img-2.6.34.myStingID or initrd.img-2.6.36-myStringID are not created in debian_live/chroot/boot/ and that leaves an unbootable Debian live image. Relevant modifications to file debian_live/config/chroot: # LB_LINUX_FLAVOURS="486 686" (hence autodetect) ... LB_LINUX_PACKAGES="none" (since I place custom kernel .deb under debian_live/config/chroot_local-packages/) Is there a way around to permit flexibility in customizations of kernel -including in its naming?

How to add correct modules to debian-live for installation
Niltze (Hello)! I have patched a couple of pristine kernels (form kernel.org) to support reiser4 fs and I have one of them running in a reiser4 formatted root partition. Since Debian has no installer supporting reiser4, I built a debian-live by simply adding my modified kernel and reiser4progs into config/packages.chroot. Doing so allows me to mount and create reiser4 partitions for maintenance. On the other hand, attempting to install debian from the live-media *will not* install complaining about no suitable modules. I have built the installer myself (< https://wiki.debian.org/DebianInstaller/Build >) on my reiser4 running Debian Sid system; nevertheless, its installation routine will not include reiser4 support nor kernel. Any insight provided will be appreciated. Best Professional Regards. -- Jose R R http://www.metztli-it.com - NEW Apache OpenOffice 4.1.0!
