It is not an accusation, is the result of some tests.
I'm trying to find the bug. So far, I can say you that squashed file has not the files I have in /etc/X11/ when I do a backup mode.
Tomorrow I'll do an intensive testing of remastersys from a clean wheezy system and with the last remastersys package. I let you know results (if you want).

The only files cleaned out of /etc/X11 are the xorg.conf* files. You have to remember that the debian live scripts will remove some as well when trying to create an on the fly xorg.conf so that is what is probably happening.
Can you post the output of the following for me:
find /etc/X11 > realx11.txt
find /home/remastersys/remastersys/dummysys/etc/X11 > remx11.txt
As for you grub issue, I would like to figure that out as well in case it is something with he way my tool works. I use the default grub tools from your distro install to do it and you should have grub2 installed which is what is needed.
In remastersys, I use the base tools as much as possible to ensure success and not introduce other unnecessary bugs. This is also why I use gparted for the partitioning instead of creating something else. Likewise I use the grub-install and update-grub tools from your install.
Are you using a different language than english? That may be part of it as the debian live tools are us english by default.

Ok, I can see the problem, when I went to go to send you the "find" diferences of real and remaster directory I notice that the other day I renamed my special configurations to xorg.conf-trident, xorg.conf-sis, xorg.conf-vesa, xorg.conf-old-nvidia, etc...(I forgot it  ) That line with the rm -rf deletes all of them. I can comment that line and the problem will dissapear. Why do you use rm - rf xorg.conf*? Why don't a simple rm xorg.conf? or even a rm xorg.conf*? (without recursive parameter) I could rename that files again, but /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/synaptic would be delete anyway. How to configure touchpad then? |

Take the * off the end and change it to rm -f. That should work. I'll make the change to the packages and upload a new one with those changes.

fragadelic,
Just a followup. I found the issue I was having with VirtualBox shared folder was caused by incorrect file permissions for the shared folder on the host, and by two sets of Virtualbox packages in the VM. After checking, I discovered that the Debian netinstall had included virtualbox-guest packages as part of the standard desktop installation. I had also installed guest additions from the hosts's running VM. After uninstalling the vbox packages in the Debian wheezy guest, synchronization returned to normal.
I've done three remasters since. The remaster is done extremely quickly. The installation from the remaster is done even more quickly. What's more, the VirtualBox guest additions are working, including mouse synchronization between host and guest, in both the live remastered CD, as well as the resulting installation. Excellent!

I split off the base from the gui and uploaded a new base pakcage tonight so you will want to pull the 2 new files from the first post and they should work even better.
Good to hear that guest additions don't cause an issue in debian like they do in ubuntu.

I have, but I haven't used the newer packages yet. Thanks for a fine product!  |

Thanks. This is shaping up to be the best release of remastersys for debian yet. I'm almost ready to release it and create a new signed repository for squeeze and wheezy like the signed ones I have for ubuntu.

One question about installer: if you choose install grub in the MBR, the target drive is:
a) sda (because is the first drive)
b) sdX (where X is the drive where you installed the system)
?

The MBR is on sda only.

You can have several drives. For example, I have a livecd and I want to install into a usb key (not in my sda hard disk).
Usb key is sdb and it has its own MBR.

I agree but that isn't included in the installer right now. I'll have to give it some thought and see how I can implement it. It would require quite a bit of changes to the installer in the 3 different places - cli, gui and the actual part that does the install.

Encountered an issue:
what i did:
I have my remastersys image put on a usb stick (fat with isolinux). Each time i do reamstersys backup i just overwrite files on usb with files from .iso image (all except .cfg files from syslinux folder, which is isolinux folder on usb). Before new version of remastersys it worked fine (with some live-* packages held to squeese). With new version i released those packages, updated remastersys and made another backup, as always. Worked fine, live system was bootable. After that i made couple more backups with some minor changes to packages.
Even worse: i deleted my VM from where i made this image.
what i got:
Booting live (or failsafe, no difference) gives me:
mount: mounting /dev/loop0 on //filesystem.squashfs failed: Invalid argument
then it takes me to bisybox.
Any attempts to mount by hand also fail (probably i miss some argument).
question:
can i fix this from bisybox (at least boot to shell and do remastersys-installer), or maybe some params are needed in .cfg files on usb to boot properly? (only having this usb stick, no system which was remastered)

Your kernel version squashfs module doesn't match the squashfs-tools version. In other words you are using the wrong kernel. You can't fix this as your kernel can't mount the squashfs filesystem.

Kernel didn't change since the last working backup (3.4.0-7.dmz.1-liquorix-686). Looks like i have to downgrade squashfs-tools again. Thanks.

/media/Custom Debian Remaster keeps mounted even when the remaster has finished.

Sorry, I can't reproduce it again. I made 4 remaster after, but no /media/Custom Debian Remaster directory went created. if it happens again, I'll tell you. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Perhaps it would be good add Gb sizes to the utility for copy ISO to USB (remastersys-usb-key-copy-tool)
This could be an easy way:
USBDRIVESIZE_GB="$(echo "scale=2; $USBDRIVESIZE/(1024*1024)"|bc)Gb"

Someone has this problem too?
In a backup mode, when I try to open some admin application, never ask me for password.

I think I found the issue with backup mode - working on the fix now and should have a new package uploaded soon.

Check the first post for the new base remastersys package that should fix the backup issue.

They changed how they parse the live_noconfigs since I first created the wheezy package. Hopefully they don't change it again before they release it stable.

Hi Fragadelic,
I'm a relative noobie to Linux. About 3 months and 10 -12 different distros so far. I've pretty much settled on Mint 13 mate for now, however this SolusOS is looking darned good. Your program worked great with Mint that I've got loaded on an old HP dv2000 laptop. The iso worked perfectly in Vbox on my main desktop. I tried to load these new debs to SolusOS2 5A in the Vbox. The gui wouldn't work, but the gtk was OK, however, it wouldn't create an iso file.
I've now got SolusOS 1.2 on my old (8yrs) Vaio desktop. It's a P4 3.2GHz, 2GB's mem, and an ATI Radeon 9200. Solus (loaded to the gills) is working great. I loaded the base and yad but stayed with the GTK gui. Tried a backup, but all I got was dummysys, ISOTMP, and the attached log file. I possibly might have too much loaded and am exceding the 4GB limit. I did clean up the system before with apt-get clean and bleachbit. Solus 1.2 comes pretty loaded itself, but I've also loaded Gnome and Mintmenu from Synaptic, Vbox, Kmymoney, Flightgear, and windows programs Ancestral Quest 12.1 + XP freecell (gotta have that). Don't know for sure, but I think I possibly found what is wrong here. CUSTOMISO= "SolusOs 1.2-live.iso". That space might be screwing thing up. I'll try it again and let you know. Damn, I forgot. Gotta close this now, hope it works. Jim

You are using the wrong version of remastersys is solus is using wheezy. You also can't have a space in the name of the iso.

fragadelic, Just another comment about your work on remastersys. Seems it's already in use by the "31 flavors" guy, for both squeeze and wheezy, as well as Ubuntu. 31 FlavorsKind of an obscure distro, but being an e17 guy myself, I've been following it. The new Sparky Linux alpha relase iso of e17 on Debian wheezy was also done with remastersys. |

AAh, you're right. Solus1.2 is squeeze based. Version 2 will be wheezy. I knew about the space and it was only in the email. |
