Package: live-helper Version: 1.0.5-2 (git)
Severity: normal, workaround available The bug doesn't leave any traces in the log-files and results in a non-functional netboot image. I have reproduced the bug on all recent versions of live-helper, as well as the git versions I tried. I am using this very basic lh_config string to configure live-helper: lh_config -b net -d lenny --net-root-server 192.168.1.5 --bootappend-live “locale=nl_NL.UTF-8” --syslinux-timeout 25 The resulting binary-net.tar.gz file cannot be netbooted from. The “debian-live style” bootloader isn't displayed, instead a strange white/gray “circle” is displayed. The system remains responsive to keyboard strokes, but hangs in a partially rendered menu (try pressing tab). Workaround: Once the script finishes, extract “binary-net.tar.gz” and : 1 Modify “binary-net.tar.gz”/tftpboot/debian-live/i386/boot-screens/menu.cfg so that the lines “stdmenu.cfg” , “live.cfg” and prompt.cfg get the prefix “debian-live/i386/boot-screens/” . 2 Modify “binary-net.tar.gz”/tftpboot/debian-live/i386/pxelinux.cfg/default so that the line “menu.cfg” gets the prefix “debian-live/i386/boot-screens/”. This workaround doesn't fix the help menu, but at least provides users with ready to use netboot images. Kind Regards, Ruben Vos P.S. This is my first bug-report, guidance/comments appreciated :D. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [email protected]
