Re: Various directories with incorrect file mode

I cannot reproduce the problem. I've tried: 1) With git master using `--debian-installer live` only. 2) The same with the sid version. 3) The sid version with the full set of options you specified. 4) The same but setting the build directory to 775 to see if this would get inherited by subdirec

I've downloaded the amd64 live 2020.2 image and I have no such problem in a VM, both for BIOS and EFI modes. Is it the amd64 version you tried? BIOS or EFI? Do you have Secure Boot enabled? If enabled, any difference if you disable it? On Tue, 2020-05-19 at 21:51 +0530, raman taak wrote: > Hello,

Re: Customizing ISOLINUX

It's still correct as of the current stable release, however this has been improved in git master for the next release - you'll only have to have copies of the files you modify. On Wed, 2020-07-01 at 02:26 -0400, Juergen Fiedler wrote: > I have a setup that uses ISOLINUX to boot from CD in 'Legacy

The correct thing to do is to simply run `lb config` after an `lb clean`. This is what the error "E: the following stage is required to be done first: config" means. I accept that the error text is perhaps not as helpful as it could be, but it relates to the architecture of the program. Hacking th

The live-build `--mode` option was for allowing for any variations necessary for building images for derivative distros, like Ubuntu and "Progress" (which is/was a distro produced by the original live-build author Daniel B). In part this includes adjusting labels and filenames. Furthermore it impa

Hi, The problem actually seems to be because you're putting your bootloader customisations in the wrong place in your config. You're supposed to put them under `config/bootloaders/` not `config/includes.binary/`. Stuff placed into the latter is just simply copied directly into the filesystem being

There's only so much customisation that you can get done with the configuration options alone, as you have surmised, however this is completely the wrong file to edit to achieve your goal. The menus are created from templates kept in /usr/share/live/build/bootloaders. You are supposed to copy stu
