In this case, the Karmic live CD was completely screwed, we knew about it and considered it just about top priority, but work on it was made difficult due to us all travelling to our developer summit and other related events. At the start of a release cycle you can usually expect that total across-the-board breakage such as this is already being handled.
In general, casper is a reasonable place to file live CD problems, and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingCasper offers some advice on collecting debugging information. The live filesystem is built by livecd-rootfs, which is packaged; the actual ISO is built by a somewhat shakier pile of scripts that isn't packaged (http://people.ubuntu.com/~cjwatson/bzr/cdimage/mainline/ and the stuff listed in configs/devel from there; you probably don't want to attempt to set this up unless you really REALLY have to ...). The lack of aufs support in the 2.6.30 kernel is not a bug; it's deliberate, since aufs has been repeatedly refused for merge upstream and current available patches don't apply to 2.6.30. We're going to get 'mount --union' pretty soon, which will be a proper solution available in the upstream kernel and should be far preferable to any of the previous options. -- Karmic desktop CD fails to boot because of different squashfs versions https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/375352 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
