Re: simple-cdd questions

Vagrant Cascadian — 2008-11-27T22:13:25

using the same profiles, merely set the ARCH variable: echo export ARCH=amd64 >> profiles/default.conf for multi-arch, set the ARCHES variable: echo export ARCHES=\"i386 amd64\" >> profiles/default.conf try the SPASHPNG variable, although this may have changed with recent versions of debian-installer. good luck. live well, vagrant

simple-cdd questions

Charliej — 2008-11-26T03:50:05

Hello everyone, I have used simple-cdd to make a install disk of some of my favorite software for i386, how would I go about making a amd64 version of the same CD? Is it possible to make a multi arch install CD using simple-cdd? One other thing, I would like to change the art work for the initial start up screen to a custom one, how would you I go about doing this? links to documentation would be appreciated. :) Best regards Charlie

You've probably made a sources.list.udeb.local fine right? see if localudebs is being referenced on that.

customized distro based on testing but with unstable...

Grammostola Rosea — 2008-11-21T21:41:49

Hi, I want to try to build my own distro, its planned to be my own audio distro but want others to be able to download it and use it. Although it will be based on testing (nice balance between stability and 'up to date') I also want to be able to install packages from unstable. Because it's gonna be a audio distro I want to be able to install the latest audio software (e.g. ardour, jack etc.) You you give some advise for building a distro? - how should I manage testing and unstable (some audio packages) in such a manner that it gives a stable system as possible and taking care in a good way about the dependencies ? - how can I make an distro which is usable for as many people as possible (I'm thinking about hardware for instance). - Maybe it would be a nice idea to share 'my build' audio packages with the maintainers of Debian, so that Debian also has the latests audio packages... I'm looking forward for your help and advices. Regards, \r

I have done it but the modified one is not coming up. Here is what i have done: 1) fakeroot make netboot-gtk 2) Copied and modified rootskel-gtk-1.15_i386.udeb from builder/installer/apt-udeb 3) Placed the modified udeb file to installer/build/localudebs 4) Then run fakeroot make netboot-gtk again Not coming up... Also the pointer relating to this issue to the wiki will be greatly appreciated. Thanks Paras.

relacing udeb

Paras pradhan — 2008-11-19T23:31:29

I don't know if this is right place to ask but I am assuming this is. I have extracted rootskel-gtk udeb , made some changes and recreated the udeb file. Now where do I place this modified file before doing: make netboot_gtk. I copied it to apt.udeb but the i the modifed udeb is not being used. Thanks Paras.

Config Problem with LVM

Stephan Wasser — 2008-11-17T13:40:09

Hallo List, I'm trying to build a CD witch configures my system completely. The CD is build with "simple-cdd" and everything is working fine, except the LVM-Configuration. My problem is that my pressed-file creates only the boot-System and one LVM-Partition as /root witch holds the complete space of the HDD. Does anybody see where my misconfiguration is? I'm using Debian-Etch and simple-cdd 0.37. Thanks for your help!

Vagrant Cascadian — 2008-11-15T03:28:21

did you try to create an etch CD on an etch machine? or an etch CD on a lenny machine? ...snip... i'd recommend using "--profiles-udeb-dist sid" (or lenny) to pull in the newer versions of simple-cdd-profiles. this is probably because you previously included: mirror_components="main contrib non-free" and now you're no longer asking for "contrib", but it's still in the mirror's database. simply removing tmp/mirror/db should work around the problem, or run: reprepro -Vb tmp/mirror clearvanished sounds like you had luck downgrading to debian-cd 3.0.2? i think the debian-cd folks may have fixed some etch related bugs in debian-cd svn, if you want to give that another try, although it also requires patches to simple-cdd that i just committed to the simple-cdd-devel bzr branch... it's all changing so fast right before the lenny release. :) live well, vagrant

Re: Next steps in renaming

Holger Levsen — 2008-11-12T23:00:17

Hi, just for the sake of peace, clarity & keeping down the flames: setup another doodle poll, invite debian-devel< at > to it? Explain in the invitation mail, why we choose "blends", and call the first option something like "follow choice of the team working on it, call it blends" and the rest "override team with choise $foo"? Or make a more neutral poll (again) :) Or not. regards, Holger

Next steps in renaming

Andreas Tille — 2008-11-12T21:36:02

Hi, after the announcements about the new name there are more things to do: 1. Uploading new blends-dev package Changes are in SVN and need some fixes and testing. I'll provide a transitional package cdd-dev which contains links to the respective blends packages. I consider issuing warning messages inside the scripts if $0 =~ /^cdd/ just to make sure that everybody notices the change and will switch in the near future. I plan to help the other Blends to enable a smooth transition. I think these technical details are in good shape and under control. 2. Moving the alioth project This was also requested in response to the announcement. IMHO the best way would be to register a new project blends and move those parts from the project which are connected to Blends to the new project while leaving the old project for SimpleCDD. 3. Mailing list I would proceed like above: Leave this mailing list for SimpleCDD

Yes.... debian-cd 3.0.5 broke simple-cdd. Downgrade to 3.0.2 (from etch) and it is now working.... regards Lucas Brasilino 2008/11/12 Lucas Brasilino gmail.com>:

Hi folks: I really don't know if anything is broken in lenny but, I managed to create etch images with simple-cdd but, from a week ago, I couldn't anymore. I'm running the same command I used to: build-simple-cdd --graphical-installer --profiles my \ --keyboard br-abnt2 --locale pt_BR --auto-profiles my \ --debian-mirror http://ftp.br.debian.org/debian \ --local-packages custom-packages --dist etch profiles/my.conf: mirror_components="main non-free" profiles/my.packages: debconf-utils ntpdate ldap-utils cfengine2 selinux-utils openssh-client sun-j2re1.5 custom-packages directory: simple-cdd-profiles_0.3.8_all.udeb sun-j2re1.5_1.5.0+update16_i386.deb simple-cdd-profiles package was 0.3.7 and I've updated it early today, but it gives me the same error. I've also started over on another $simple_cdd_dir... same error: Error: packages database contains unused 'etch|contrib|i386' database. This either means you removed a distribution, component or architecture from the distribution

Capital City Energy (CETG.OB)

2008-11-08T09:35:49

BUSINESS FIRST http://columbus.bizjournals.com/columbus/stories/2008/11/10/story1.html Tim Crawford's faith in what he thinks is a fundamental truth in the energy business seems to sustain him as oil and natural gas prices tumble and stock values fall. "Everyone has to fill their gas tank and heat their home," said the CEO of Capital City Energy Group Inc. in Columbus. "Alternative (energy) will go only so far, so we're entrenched in fossil fuels. We're not getting off the stuff overnight." It's good Crawford sees things that way, given that Capital City Energy became a publicly traded company last spring as it began a transition toward a full-service oil and natural gas operating company. Since then, oil and natural gas prices have plunged by more than half and credit markets have practically dried up for businesses with growth aspirations. Crawford isn't sweating it. The long-range global demand for oil and natural gas and an integrated business model designed to generate revenue in good times and b

Re: linux-image issue

Vagrant Cascadian — 2008-11-05T20:46:55

possibly, which is why i suggest trying to install without it, using a standard linux-image package. then you can determine if it is really your custom linux-image that is broken, or something else in the build process. am i repeating myself here? :) because there are probably some differences in how it installs from a debian-installer environment vs. from whatever environment you're using to install it manually. from the error message you were getting, it sounded to me like debootstrap was trying to install it, rather than the usual debian-intsaller hooks for installing a kernel. so something is very strange with your linux-image package. live well, vagrant

RE: linux-image issue

2008-11-05T18:28:49

Same result as before in both instances that I said I would try. It Attempts to install the linux-image pkg but fails during the 'unpacking required packages' with the red-screen of death. :/ So what does this say to you? Should I be thinking the linux-image pkg is somehow bad? If that is the case then why can I install this same pkg via dpkg or via apt-get after an install of a std debian iso? Why would it only fail to install if its included into a custom iso?

I wouldn't think it would rule anything out with regard to linux-image since it will never get installed because it doesn't exist on the ISO. I'll go ahead and do it for kicks. Also, I have cleaned out tmp/ again and run simple-cdd with --local-packages to make sure that the iso gets into the mirrow, and then I built the iso again without removing the tmp/ (so that the linux-image would still be there) without the --local-packages args.
