I just [2] squasfs the content of the daily LiveCD that I regularly
rsync[1], and then chroot to it and start X as root.
Every time I chroot (ever since gutsy AFAIR) I get a similar error.
Recently its ID 128 ( I dont remember the gutsy ones or earlier Hardy alphas.)
[1] I know that this isnt the proper place for this, but cdimage.U.c has been
quite slow. Not only it affects ppl that do rsync like me, but also as been
affecting users you are trying out Wubi (since it downloads from MAIN - humm I
should file a bug against wubi, so that the user may get a chance of selecting
any mirror). due to the number of daily builds nobody else is mirroring cdimage
for the daily subset, but downloading or rsyncing at a 1KiB/s can be quite
....... you know what I mean.
[2] here is my update script for anyone who might have interest in it
[code]
echo "download
cdimage.ubuntu.com/cdimage/daily-live/current/hardy-desktop-i386.iso"
nice -n 15 rsync -zhP --stats

wget -O - http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/cdimage/daily-live/current/MD5SUMS | grep
i386
ionice -c3 md5sum ~/hardy-desktop-i386.iso
echo "squashfs copy"
sudo mount -o loop ~/hardy-desktop-i386.iso /mnt/iso
sudo mount -t squashfs -o loop /mnt/iso/casper/filesystem.squashfs

echo "chroot"
sudo chroot ~/temp/hardy/edit

ps. My emails tend to sound authority and aggressive. I'm sorry in advance.
I'll try to be more assertive as time goes by...
